    I have a small collection of X6, A9 and X5 mini spy cams with main chips from Taixin, Beken and XRadioTech. One commonality is the 18-pin FFC (flexible flat cable) ZIF (zero insertion force) connector that the cam modules are connected to the main PCB with.

    From looking at strings in the firmware dump of an XRadio XF16 chip it seems the XF16 might support this list of cams:

    The XF16's uart log out is helpful enough to print which one it detects is connected. This presents a good opportunity to identify each cam, assuming the pins are the same. Often identifying text printed on the ribbon doesn't make it immediately obvious what make/model the cam is. Here'll I'll present pics and the relevant XF16 boot log to show initialisation. Maybe this will help others to identify their cameras. It is also a record for me of what I have.

    And from a Tuya mini doorbell (not this one but very similar). Contacts are on the opposite side of ribbon for this one as the cam points back through a hole in the PCB.

Topic summary

The discussion focuses on identifying mini camera modules compatible with the XRadio XF16 chip, commonly used in small spy cams such as X6, A9, and X5 models featuring Taixin, Beken, and XRadioTech main chips. These cameras typically use an 18-pin FFC ZIF connector to interface with the main PCB. Firmware dumps from the XF16 chip reveal support for a variety of camera modules including models from GalaxyCore, Hynix, and SuperPix. The XF16 UART boot log aids in detecting connected camera modules by name, facilitating identification despite unclear markings on the ribbon cables. Examples include GalaxyCore GC0309 and GC0312 modules, with initialization logs confirming successful detection and chip ID reads. The discussion also notes variations in connector orientation, such as in Tuya mini doorbell cameras, and provides photographic references for module identification.
