I looked at the list on https://thingino.com/ https://thingino.com/ , and one of the cheapest cameras supported by thingino is Wansview Q5. I'm NOT exactly sure on the exact version, because 2 different versions exist on Amazon, 3MP/2019 and 5MP/2024, in 2 colors each, but the older 3MP version is available for under $20.00 USD with FBA: https://www.amazon.com/stores/Wansview/page/1E1F86AB-C01A-4575-8EE7-86A7CD7D18B3 https://www.amazon.com/stores/Wansview/page/1E1F86AB-C01A-45... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07QKXM2D3 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07QKXM2D3 — $16.14 FBA for black 3MP Q5 Wansview https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07QKWPT8J https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07QKWPT8J — $19.78 FBA for white 3MP Q5 Wansview It's also been on sale at $9.99 on Woot a few months ago, but sold out. https://electronics.woot.com/offers/wansview-2k-ip-security-camera-1 https://electronics.woot.com/offers/wansview-2k-ip-security-... EDIT: looks like the cheapest one in the US is actually Cinnado D1 2k, it's under $14.99 on Amazon. https://github.com/wltechblog/thingino-installers/tree/main/cinnado-d1 https://github.com/wltechblog/thingino-installers/tree/main/... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CBBT5RMP https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CBBT5RMP — ≤$14.99 FBA for Cinnado D1

Cool! It looks like the Wansview Q5 has a similar SoC/camera/wireless setup as the Wansview W7, which as an installer guide on the Thingino wiki [1]. I wonder if that same installation process (but with the q5 firmware) would work. For $16 I'm inclined to try it out.

Generally the cheapest fro Amazom is by Cinnado. I have a video on installing it my channel as well. I've bought this model for as low as $9.50 shipped. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=phqR49t75Ak https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=phqR49t75Ak

  Wow, under $14.99 for Cinnado D1 2k is nice! Thanks! It looks like right now it's available for 14.99 less the 25% promo code, that's $11.25 USD shipped, for OSS hardware? Niiice!

  Does the two way audio work on this or any of these devices? I assume the PTZ does? That'd be such a crazy awesome package of stuff to have work!!

    2-way audio works via ONVIF with clients as long as they support rtsp backchannel! PTZ works great although none of these devices actually HAVE a zoom apability.

The 5MP version is not yet supported! it's identical to the Cinnado D1 5MP, and in addition to the better sensor (and dual band wifi!) they use the next generation Ingenic processors. Work in progress!

is thingino an alternative to open ipc? A newbie question update seems like it's software for a camera module. Now I have to figure how to match that with cameras or how to connect it to my raspberry pi

  Thingino is a full replacement firmware for Ingenic-based ip cameras. While we have some overlap with OpenIPC it's fair to say that our missions are quite different. I don't consider us competing projects, they even use some of our code (and possibly vice-versa) in their firmware.

Last time I bought cameras refurbished Wyze cams were available stupid cheap, $5-$10 or something.

  wyze doorbell v1 is very cheap refurb on ebay and has an actual 4 megapixel selsor they run at 1080p for no particular reason in their firmware. It's 4 megapixel when you run Thingino!
