Yi 1080p Outdoor EUR support

[fedyfausto]

Hello guys! I have a Yi 1080p outdoor EUR version and i'm wondering if i can help you to support this camera, can i give to you some informations?

[nonick321]

There is already a thread (#82). Unfortunately rtsp is not working at the moment..

[fedyfausto]

yes i seen that thread and i flashed the firmware y20 reneaming to h30. The camera flashed the firmware but now the led still in yellow color

EDIT
i put my old wpa_suplicant file into sd and now my cam is connected and i can access via telnet, now how can i restart the normal functionalities (like cloud service or stream via app)? Or there is a possibility to reflash the original firmware?

EDIT 2
Ok i manually launched the application dispatch e some others and then i edited the init.sh file to launch these application and now the cam works perfectly, now i'm going to investigate on rtsp

[aelg305]

@fedyfausto I saw your comment on the other post about rtsp, any success getting there?

[fedyfausto]

unfortunately not yet but i do not know that i'm the best guy for resolve the problem :D

[aelg305]

Cool. Anything I can do to help?

[fedyfausto]

Mmmm i am not really a rtsp expert so i do not know any technologies or software to run a rtsp server for this cam, somebody can help me in some way? (A list of rtsp server bin to test maybe? )

[fedyfausto]

guys i did it! and cloud features works too! If someone could teach to me how to export all of my root direcotry and make some of firmware for this camera i can publish the firmware :D

UPDATE
The rtsp server that i found seems that crash after some time (using VLC) but if i restart the player i anca see again the stream (and re-crash after some time). In addiction, the stream does not seems 1080p but 360p xD

The errors provided by VLC are:

[aelg305]

@fedyfausto did it...yaiiiii.... Now, somebody help this dude to get that code out. Lol

[fedyfausto]

I'm have some torubles with rtsp because after some time che client crashs :S i'm using a server built by a user @andy2301 and this binary wants some of particular settings that i'm trying to discover what are the best values. If you help me i can upload the fix and the server bin / src :0

[fedyfausto]

There is the link to Mega. Exctract the files into your SD and then:

1. If all of services just works copy only the rtsp2302* files and libstdc++.so.6 into /home/app/
2. If all services does not work copy all files into the same path /home/app/

IF yourcam does not connect to your wifi connection then reset with the reset button
Finally, edit the rtsp2303.sh file and play with the values and test your rtsp cam with vlc, if something does not work, edit the file, save and execure reboot from console
https://mega.nz/#!9Fw0iYjZ!UmJ81DohmUpC1UetOW6JRvjR0ioHerm2qmh91XR1BGs

[aelg305]

@fedyfausto
Dummy here.... so:
-format the SD card
-drop the zip file (unziped) to the root of the SD card?
-turn on and if everything works, then turn off and move the files?
if not....step 2 from your post....right?

not working for me :(
Do i need to telnet or ssh into it?

[fedyfausto]

wait do you can not login with ssh or telnet?

[aelg305]

not letting me SSH or telnet! :(

I followed this steps:
-format the SD card (on mac)
-drop the zip file (unzipped) to the root of the SD card..all files...
-then turned the camera ON with the SD card and everything with the Yi app (no telnet)
-then turn off and moved the 3 files
-still no telnet but yi app still works! :o

[fedyfausto]

Ok so let's start from the begining:
First of all download this version of firmware and place the files into your SD card with a wpa_supplicant.conf file
https://mega.nz/#F!s9wVzZQZ!k6F3p8HcWCoWl-jla2Cxpw
Subsequently check if your camera connects to your wifi connection and then connect via telnet (root, void)
Finally, download my fix
https://mega.nz/#!9Fw0iYjZ!UmJ81DohmUpC1UetOW6JRvjR0ioHerm2qmh91XR1BGs
and then THIS TIME copy only the files [rtsp2302, rtsp2302.sh, libstdc++.so.6, init.sh] into your /home/app/
You can access to your sd from /tmp/sd/

[aelg305]

I tried different tyes of wpa_supplicant....none worked :(

router shows the 2.4 Hgz with:
WPA2-PSK [AES]

sample 1:
`ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=0
ap_scan=1

network={
ssid=“name of SSID”
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
pairwise=CCMP
group=CCMP
psk=“password_here”
priority=2
}`

sample 2:
`ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=0
ap_scan=1

network={
ssid=“name of SSID”
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
proto=RSN
pairwise=CCMP
psk=“password_here$”
priority=2
}`

[fedyfausto]

this is mine:
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ap_scan=1
network={
ssid="[SSIDHERE]"
scan_ssid=1
proto=WPA RSN
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
pairwise=CCMP TKIP
group=CCMP TKIP
psk="[PASSHERE]"
}

[aelg305]

Perfect, that helped.
I also read this https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?wpa_supplicant.conf(5) and it was great with the settings.... I hope it helps everyone else.

[fedyfausto]

remember that you must use this only to insert the fix files and then you can restart the camera and use it like normally use but with telnet service and rtsp (needs to be fixed)

[aelg305]

got telnet working, then took the sd out and had to create the folders home and then app /home/app and drop the 4 files into it, then telnet into it and ran ./init.sh

[fedyfausto]

No now if you can access via telnet you can list on /home/app directory and you can see a list of binaries of application. So if you list on /tmp/ad you can see the sd content. Now copy/replace that files of my fix into the /home/app and then you can test if all works resetting the camera (type reboot) and then configure it with application in normal way (press the reset button until you hear the voice from camera and then reset again or plug out , subsequently configure the camera with app) From now you can try and test some value of RTSP editing the rtsp2303.sh and rebooting the camera. That server does not work properly but you can find another bin of rtsp server and try it. Anyway I can upload the source code of rtsp2303 if you want

[srerick1]

I will try this weekend on my camera thanks

[aelg305]

planning on comitting this to the git?

[aelg305]

so, there was a firmware update which killed the hack.... so I went back:
FOR THOSE THAT NEED STEP BY STEP..like me... and need to replicate.

RSTP + Xiaomi outdoor camera

-formatted the card
-downloaded the files from yi-hack (roof_y20) and renamed them to h30 and included my wpa_supplicant.conf and let it boot (yellow light comes one, then flashing yellow (meaning is flashing) and then solid yellow but no connection yet
-disconnected and drop the files from fedyfausto with the h30 and y30 and connected again
-yellow -> flashing -> solid -> connected after a couple of turn on/off from power
-telnet into it to confirm -> OK
-copy the following 4 files to the home directory using telnet (rtsp2302, rtsp2302.sh, libstdc++.so.6, init.sh)...used command: cp *.sh .6 rtsp /home/app
-sealed the deal with a power cycle (disconnect from wall/reconnect)

notes:
-fedyfausto mentioned that we need to play around with the rtsp options and I havent been able to find one that works for me yet..(havent try any, but I will and report back). I was able to get my camera software MotionEYE to recongnize the camera but image is not coming back yet... more to come.
-the Yi app does open and there is a stream, which is great!
-typing in my browser http://camera_IP or http://yi-hack-v3 does nothing, however, I do see the IP from the router and when scanned for open ports, only port 23 is open.

Thanks to everyone...special thanks to fedyfausto....if there is someone that can figure out, its you! :)

[nonick321]

Great work @fedyfausto.

From time to time i get a stream in tinycam which breaks after some seconds. It reminds me to my xiaomi dafang. But if you set the stream Option to "fixedqp" the stream does not break anymore.

I wonder if this Option exist in the source code of the rtsp2303?

Did you compile the source yourself? Perhaps wie could try to compile the rtsp Form the dafang hacks?

[fedyfausto]

no i did not compile my self i found the binary and the source code on some git topic and then i tried it, we can try such i said another rtsp server, can you share the hack/repo?

Thx guys, yes the next step (after rtsp) is that fix the dns and then create a web server/page from witch manage the camera

Will this work on the Chinese version of the camera?

so, the extra files you have on your fix? or thats "coming soon"? :)

[EpicLPer]

It's somewhat working :) It's just stops working after 3 minutes or so but in those 3 minutes it almost works flawlessly and with just 1-2 seconds delay!

[kolotiloff]

@shadow-1, Installed your firmware 3.0.0.0A, could not connect to the telnet. I installed https://mega.nz/#F!s9wVzZQZ!k6F3p8HcWCoWl-jla2Cxpw and was able to connect to telnet. I copied all the files, but the camera also does not connect in the Yi application. And in the Chinese version, Yi says that the camera is for use only in China.

[mvklingeren]

@TheCrypt0 next to rtsp, would it be possible to serve mjpg?

[shadow-1]

@kolotiloff
Sounds like you have a Chinese version of the Yi Outdoor camera. If you want to use the official Yi smartphone app, the region lock needs to be defeated.
To defeat the region lock, you will need a proper build of yi-hack-v3.

I will see if I can create a version of yi-hack-v3 for the Yi Outdoor relatively quickly.

@mvklingeren

I've recently made a lot of progress with the RTSP, I'm now working on a kernel module which will provide get a clean H264 data stream from a block device to be fed to an rtsp server.

If I remember correctly, the camera encoder supports MJPEG. However this would need some work and documentation. The current objective is to have a stable and working RTSP server.

[Fa5g]

@shadow-1 @EpicLPer
On my 1080P Dome I was also able to downgrade. I noticed the version check looks like this:

if [ $newver != $curver ]; then

Of course, a restriction could also exist in the updater binary, but I think at least on some devices it only cares that your version is different (greater or lower).

@drlarsen77
Correct. My mistake.

@EpicLPer
I created a firmware image for the Yi Outdoor camera. If everything goes well, it should enable telnet on the camera and also automatically backup all partitions to microSD card. If everything works as expected, can you send me the mtd partition dumps from the camera?

I have made this firmware as un-intrusive as possible. Performing an official Xiaomi update should bring the camera back to stock and delete the modifications I made.

The firmware is based on version 3.0.0.0A. I am now hosting the official Xiaomi updates for the Yi Outdoor camera. I have firmware 3.0.0.0A, 3.0.0.0B and 3.0.0.0D available.

Firmware File Link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/az7xs4odbf2u2vn/home_h30?dl=0
Official Firmware Link: https://app.box.com/s/cibs7n1mgvhqaqjlidtveegu1uajt5yr

@kolotiloff
Since your camera is bricked. You may as well try this firmware file to recover your camera. If all goes well, you will be restored to 3.0.0.0A firmware and you can perform the Xiaomi update to 3.0.0.0B.

Hi there,
Could you re-post the "Firmware File Link" because it was disabled.
I'm gonna try on my YI Outdoor Camera 1080p (USA).
Thanks.

I have just released a new version of y-hack-v3 which adds support for the Yi Outdoor camera.
No other improvements have been made.

However this should give you something to start with (Telnet, SSH, FTP, Ability to defeat Region Lock etc).
I do not have this camera, so the release is untested. However it is identical to all the other cameras that are currently supported.

Recovery images to go back to stock are located in the usual location: https://app.box.com/s/cibs7n1mgvhqaqjlidtveegu1uajt5yr

@Fa5g
I removed the dropbox link because it did not achieve anything besides backing up the partitions on the camera. As @EpicLPer was kind enough to post the backup partitions on the camera, it was not needed anymore. It did not enable Telnet, SSH or any other features.

Changing the filename will not work. Can you describe what happens? Have you tried the recovery image? Does the yellow light flash for approximately 30 seconds the first time you flashed the firmware?

Remember to follow the guide on the main page. The microSD card must be formatted with FAT or FAT32. Larger SD cards (generally greater than 16gb) default to formatting using exFAT. It is possible to force a larger SD card to format to FAT32. However it is not trivial.

[gkeiko]

Changing the filename will not work. Can you describe what happens? Have you tried the recovery image? Does the yellow light flash for approximately 30 seconds the first time you flashed the firmware?

I TRY rootfs_h30| home_h30...but can't work too
Chinese version camera just say....this camera can't .....maybe use in china (but i live in Taiwan)
WiFi connection is normal but browser key camera IP address could not be found

my card>>>fat32 8gb @4

"Does the yellow light flash for approximately 30 seconds the first time you flashed the firmware?"

no,can't flash firmware....why??

[kolotiloff]

@shadow-1, Installed the firmware, does not connect to Telnet. The application does not connect.
Last time I was able to connect to Telnet, but the files (rtsp2302, rtsp2302.sh, libstdc++.so.6, init.sh) are useless. The camera is not added in either the European or Chinese version of Yi.

[bloodhound83]

@kolotiloff , i have the same Problems. But i was able to activate telnet via the webconfig / System Configuration. But the APP doesn't work for me. So for me its currently useless...

I got an Error:
ERROR: Could not connect to api.xiaoyi.com, ensure that the configured proxy servers are operational.

proxychains4 wget -O- -q -T 8 https://api.xiaoyi.com

[proxychains] config file found: /home/yi-hack-v3/etc/proxychains.conf
[proxychains] preloading /home/yi-hack-v3/lib/libproxychains4.so
error: no valid proxy found in config

So i have deactivated the ProxyChains-ng Configuration, but still have no access via the YI Home app.

european version.

[bloodhound83]

@kolotiloff , so the App is now connecting to the camera, if had to delete and reconnect it again.

@shadow-1
how it works to connect via rstp to the camera?

[kolotiloff]

@bloodhound83, no. I can not connect to the application. The maximum of what I achieved is a connection through Telnet to upload files (rtsp2302, rtsp2302.sh, libstdc ++. So.6, init.sh), but this does not help.

[bloodhound83]

@kolotiloff, but you see an yi-hack-v3 device in your network? Just to verify that the firmware is correctly installed.

i used the last version from
https://github.com/shadow-1/yi-hack-v3/releases/tag/0.1.6

before that i used recovery firmware from
https://app.box.com/s/cibs7n1mgvhqaqjlidtveegu1uajt5yr/folder/63747474299

[shadow-1]

@gkeiko
Sounds like the firmware files are not being flashed. Sometimes there are issues with particular microSD cards. Try using a different card.

@kolotiloff
SSH is enabled by default on this firmware. Telnet is disabled by default. This can be changed in the web interface.

It appears that you are not following the guide on the main page on how to defeat the region lock using a proxy server. Please follow the guide outlined here: https://github.com/shadow-1/yi-hack-v3#cameras-that-are-region-locked-to-mainland-china

This firmware used to parse for proxy servers automatically. However the website I used for this has shut down. So you will need to find appropriate proxy servers manually. There are numerous threads on this GitHub page on where to find and suggested proxy servers to use.

@bloodhound83
You are not using the Chinese version of the camera which is region locked (EU camera). To make the camera work, disable proxychains-ng in the web interface. You do not need this (it is only used to defeat the region lock).

Unfortunately I do not have RTSP implemented on this firmware. Check out the yi-hack-v4 project. It appears to be progressing well.

[kolotiloff]

@bloodhound83, in a network I see, but I cannot be connected through Telnet.

[shadow-1]

@kolotiloff
Try using SSH instead of Telnet.Telnet is disabled by default, this can be changed in the Web interface.

[kolotiloff]

@shadow-1, Connected to the web interface, but did not understand how to make my proxy addresses?

[kolotiloff]

@shadow-1 Up to this point, I did a completely different instructions. Now I have done everything, as it is written here https://github.com/shadow-1/yi-hack-v3#cameras-that-are-region-locked-to-mainland-china and it works! Thank!

Hey guys, I have been following the thread and it seem like you made some amazing progress. I am now going to try and enable the RTSP. Could someone point me to the best guide process. Cheers Rich

[mvklingeren]

@TheCrypt0 any news on the kernel module for rtsp?

[TheCrypt0]

@mvklingeren

Yes, working on it. I'm currently facing a problem with the view file read/write time, I'm trying to optimize it by accessing user-space memory from kernel-space. This is a little bit hacky and shouldn't be done in generic cases, however since we are targeting a specific embedded system it should just work fine.

[skywluke]

Dear Sirs!
How can i install yi-hack_v4 ?

Thanks

[aelg305]

@skywluke you got to the yi hack v4 git site and follow the steps (google if you dont know where is it):
1-download your version
2-drop into microsd
3-enjoy

.....this is an overly simplified version of what you would be doing....but fairly accurate. Keep me honest! :)

[junhau89]

Hi, mine Yi home 1080p since after upgrade from v3 0.1.4 to version v3 0.1.5 version. Then currently stuck at v3 0.1.5 version. Unable to update to latest version v3 or v4... also unable to recovery back to official version. Any idea to solve it??

[aelg305]

@junhau89 what steps have u taken?
