    I have the following camera from AliExpress - available for $4 via some choice/bundle deals.
    Supposedly IR-cut with IR LEDs, but I'm guessing probably fake.
    It contains the TXW817-810 chipset.

    I can't seem to find this one in the various posts/threads.

    What hardware do I need to flash it?
    I have already connected it to the app (Z-IOT-CAM) and I have a serial readout from TX/RX (115200) which I was going to post, but it contains a lot of personal info (Wi-Fi, password, etc.)

    I did notice it shows an RTSP relay address with the ID of the camera in the app.
    I've tried to access this using VLC, but it doesn't work.
