Camera Ezviz C6C (CS-CV246, A0-3B1WFR) teardown
Description: Cheap Wifi camera by Ezviz operating via Hikvision protocol on port 8000 with RTSP on port 554. Based on STM8S003F3 (8S003F3P6) microcontroller (16-MHz STM8S 8-bit MCU, 8Kb flash, 128b EEPROM, 10-bit ADC, UART, SPI, I²C). The other circuits are visible in the pictures - I tried to make them legible. At the moment there is no alternative software. The device itself can be dismantled and assembled completely non-invasively (housing screws are located under the rubber band from the bottom - the rest are not hidden, the "head" of the camera is closed with latches).
Comments
Thanks for showing the inside. The camera is very cheap, only PLN 160. Does it send any data to an external cloud? Can you just connect to Hikvision cameras? [Read more]

Hi In addition, in recent camera firmware updates, EZVIZ began to mess with the RTSP stream, turning off the stream by default, thus "encouraging" users to use the cloud or memory cards to record events.... [Read more]
The advantage of cameras is that they are cheap. The downside is that after about a year, the two cameras do not keep the settings and after the power is cut off, they need to be reconfigured. I did not... [Read more]
Maybe a little off the topic of changing the firmware, but since the camera works on the HikVision protocol, it will work with almost any NVR (including basic PTZ functions), and this can usually be forced... [Read more]
I have a whole box of IP cameras, I'm counting on projects in the style https://github.com/OpenIPC/firmware because all these cloud freaks are the same problems, not to mention security. [Read more]

You can't, you need to look for alternative software. Or ride through the clouds. [Read more]
Can a friend recommend such an app? [Read more]

Can you tell me more about alternative software? [Read more]
It's a pity that in these cameras Ezviz does not go to set presets. [Read more]
Maybe someone will make a list of cheap outdoor IP cameras and PTZ, which can be technically configured inside the local network without external clouds and unreliable applications? This would greatly... [Read more]
How is access to a stream blocked? If strim goes through the cloud how does it work? [Read more]
When it comes to the smart IP cameras themselves, there is no blockage here. Normally, the camera's API architecture is client-based and connects to the domain name through which access to stream,... [Read more]
How can you take over strim to the cloud to view the image directly in the local network? [Read more]
This is a river topic dedicated to those who sit at CTFs. When I get such a camera, I will use wireshark to examine the packets and maybe I can somehow cheat certificates or find some very lame implementation... [Read more]
