A custom firmware modification for Xiaomi Yi 1080p cameras built on the Allwinner SoC, replacing the stock cloud-dependent software with a local-first system that exposes RTSP video streams and a web management interface. It is installed from a dedicated microSD card and adds integrations for Home Assistant and Frigate, with online and manual update paths.
Use cases
- enable rtsp streaming on a yi 1080p camera
- use my yi camera with home assistant without the cloud
- feed a yi camera into frigate nvr
- view my yi camera stream locally in vlc
- remove cloud dependency from yi camera and keep footage on my network
- flash custom firmware onto a yi ip camera
- turn a yi camera into a plain local ip camera
When to choose
- You own a supported Allwinner-based Yi 1080p camera and want local RTSP access instead of the vendor cloud app
- You want to integrate the camera into Home Assistant, Frigate, or another self-hosted NVR or smart-home setup
- You want on-camera management via a web interface with wifi configuration and firmware updates handled locally
When to avoid
- Your camera model is not on the supported list, e.g. it belongs to a different Yi hardware family that requires the v1 Allwinner fork
- You want a plug-and-play setup - the hack requires a dedicated microSD card left in the camera and a manual flashing procedure with some brick risk
- You depend on official Yi cloud features and the stock mobile app experience
