it does not, there are 5 versions of C200 as of now and thingino only supports one or two, it is very important to get the right chip, you can check https://openipc.org/
I came here to post this, too :) What the thingino community managed to do with their firmware for these cameras is nothing short of amazing - if you happen to have a compatible camera, you really, really should give it a whirl!
I'd love to but... how? One alternative seems to be a programmer chip that must be puchased and then modified to not fry the camera with 5V. Another is maybe stripping a USB cable and soldering it to the wifi pads on the camera chip?
Neither of these seem like good ideas for someone like me, who is relatively hardware naïve and has small children running around making it hard to concetrate for more than 30 minutes at a time.
The question is genuine. I want to do this but don't actually know by which method.
Yeah, I can see why that is a show-stopper for people. However, the thingino project has people among them who care deeply about ease of installation - so with these security issues discovered in the TP-Link device, chances are an installation method that relies on a vulnerable stock firmware will be provided in time :)
In this case I'm asking specifically about the C200 this article is about. Sorry for not being more clear. From what I understand the C200 does not boot from SD card.
I think Thingino is great. But there are definitely still dragons lurking. I reported a bug last year and mostly forgot about it. Got a response a few months ago to check out a fix related to unexpected memory access.
I generally try not to be a huge Rust cheerleader but seriously. Yikes.

I got a couple of Wyze cameras and loaded Thignino via SD card. No fuss no muss.

Ah that's fair. One of the reasons I went with the Wyze units is that they were well supported and installation was pretty easy.
correct, it's in beta testing right now, you can check for alternatives https://github.com/wltechblog/thingino-installers
Oh, this is great! I do have this exact camera and another one that’s on the list!
I’m more than happy to ditch the scrappy RTSP setup that I have to support these cheap cameras!
