    Hello,

    I got bricked Sonoff B1P camera from my friend. This device work with Thingino.com firmware and there is unbrick procedure. However I cannot find out howto open this camera to access the flash chip.

    Does anybody find out how to open this camera? There is no video on the Internet and I cannot find any screws or lines to split plastic.

    Thank you

    Probably from the front. There’s an LED backlight cover and a frame there. Try getting inside via that route. It may be glued or held in place by clips. If it’s glued, heat it with a hairdryer and try removing the frame from the front.
    The camera has a RESET button near the SIM card – perhaps try resetting the camera to its factory settings. Provided it isn’t linked to the previous owner’s account.

    Procedure
    Spoiler:
    To reset the Sonoff CAM-B1P outdoor camera, press and hold the reset button for 5 seconds. The device will play the voice prompt “Reset success”, and the LED will start flashing in pairing mode. Then remove it from the eWeLink app to fully restore the factory settings.
