A collection of shell scripts and binaries that replace parts of the Xiaomi Yi Ants home camera firmware, disabling cloud connectivity and enabling RTSP, FTP, HTTP, and Telnet servers for local-only use. It is installed via a microSD card and runs on the camera's embedded Linux system.
Use cases

- add ftp and http server to yi ants camera
When to choose
- you own a Xiaomi Yi Ants camera and want fully local, cloud-free operation

When to avoid
