The default login is root with the password root.
The default streaming user is thingino with the password thingino. This can be changed via web interface.
Turn off the camera's power. Press and hold the reset button, then turn the power back on. Keep holding the button for 5 seconds during boot. This should reset the camera to its default settings with root as a password. Your camera needs to have the gpio_button pin set!
Change it in bootloader environment with fw_setenv command. Use ethaddr parameter for ethernet interface, wlanmac for wireless interface.
fw_setenv ethaddr 12:34:56:78:AB:CD
fw_setenv wlanmac 12:34:56:78:AB:EF
From the PC: Download a full image for your camera from thignino releases page on GitHub. Extract first 256KB of bootloader partition into a separate file. Upload that file to the camera and flash it into the bootloader partition:
wget https://github.com/themactep/thingino-firmware/releases/download/firmware/thingino-teacup.bin
dd if=thingino-teacup.bin bs=256K count=1 of=bootloader.bin
scp -O bootloader.bin [email protected]:/tmp/
ssh [email protected] flashcp -v /tmp/bootloader.bin /dev/mtd0
Alternatively, you can do that directly on the camera:
cd /tmp
curl -LJO https://github.com/themactep/thingino-firmware/releases/download/firmware/thingino-teacup.bin
truncate -s 256K thingino-teacup.bin
flashcp ./thingino-teacup.bin /dev/mtd0
We recommend to use tinyCam Monitor Pro.
If the camera in question has an Ingenic SoC, there is a good chance that Thingino can run on it. You can try to convert it using one of the prebuilt module firmware files or build a new one yourself. Donate such a camera to the project to speed up the process!

Thingino was influenced by the ideas of the OpenIPC project, and core developers even collaborated with OpenIPC for a while, but then the differences became too deep and thingino was born.
While there are some similarities, there are also significant differences between these two projects.
Thingino does not collect any data metrics or telemetry, ensuring your data remains solely on your device and entirely under your control. Being fully open source, Thingino allows you to audit the code and verify its operations, providing full transparency and peace of mind.
