Hardware for development

We consider buying HiSilicon 3516CV300 + Sony IMX291 board to use it as development kit. It has 128Mb of RAM and 16Mb of SPI Flash ROM. Use Coupler to get rid of stock firmware and install OpenIPC (you don't even need to solder anything like UART adapter).

First run

Mini has no sensor autodetection currently, but one can use built-in ipcinfo --long_sensor to determine sensor type and its control bus and then manually specify appropriate sensor config file path in sensor_config in mini.ini

Support

OpenIPC offers two levels of support.

  • Free support through the community (via chat and mailing lists).
  • Paid commercial support (from the team of developers).

Please consider subscribing for paid commercial support if you intend to use our product for business. As a paid customer, you will get technical support and maintenance services directly from our skilled team. Your bug reports and feature requests will get prioritized attention and expedited solutions. It's a win-win strategy for both parties, that would contribute to the stability your business, and help core developers to work on the project full-time.

If you have any specific questions concerning our project, feel free to contact us.

Participating and Contribution

If you like what we do, and willing to intensify the development, please consider participating.

You can improve existing code and send us patches. You can add new features missing from our code.

You can help us to write a better documentation, proofread and correct our websites.

You can just donate some money to cover the cost of development and long-term maintaining of what we believe is going to be the most stable, flexible, and open IP Network Camera Framework for users like yourself.

You can make a financial contribution to the project at Open Collective.

Thank you.
