## What it is
A firmware modification toolkit for Ingenic T20/T31 based Wyze IP cameras that provides root access and extra features via a micro-SD card, without hardware changes. It adds RTSP/RTMP streaming, Wireguard, USB Ethernet, and other networking capabilities while remaining easy to uninstall.

## Use cases
- enable RTSP streaming on a Wyze camera
- stream camera video to YouTube or Twitch via RTMP
- get root shell access on an IP camera
- connect a camera via USB Ethernet or Wireguard VPN
- block forced firmware updates on a camera
- use a camera as a UVC webcam
- access the camera SD card over the network

## When to choose
- you own an Ingenic T20/T31 based Wyze camera and want root access without flashing
- you want an easily reversible mod (just remove the SD card)
- you need RTSP/RTMP streaming or VPN support on stock firmware

## When to avoid
- you want a fully supported, actively developed solution (consider Thingino instead)
- you have a non-Ingenic camera model
- you cannot accept the security risks of exposing the device to your network

## Facets
- artifact type: application
