The default login is root with the password root.
The default streaming user is thingino with the password thingino. This can be changed via web interface.
Turn off the camera's power. Press and hold the reset button, then turn the power back on. Keep holding the button for 5 seconds during boot. This should reset the camera to its default settings with root as a password. Your camera needs to have the gpio_button pin set!
Change it in bootloader environment with fw_setenv command. Use ethaddr parameter for ethernet interface, wlanmac for wireless interface.
fw_setenv ethaddr 12:34:56:78:AB:CD
fw_setenv wlanmac 12:34:56:78:AB:EF
This method to set the MAC should survive future firmware updates done using the sysupgrade -p method.
Separately, if you were worried about the MAC address change, the new MAC address that Thingino uses is generated based on the serial # of the camera's CPU, so it should never change after the initial install process.
From the PC: Download a full image for your camera from thignino releases page on GitHub. Extract first 256KB of bootloader partition into a separate file. Upload that file to the camera and flash it into the bootloader partition. Heres an example:
wget https://github.com/themactep/thingino-firmware/releases/latest/download/thingino-teacup.bin
dd if=thingino-teacup.bin bs=256K count=1 of=bootloader.bin
scp -O bootloader.bin root@192.168.1.10:/tmp/
ssh root@192.168.1.10 flashcp -v /tmp/bootloader.bin /dev/mtd0
Alternatively, you can do that directly on the camera:
cd /tmp
curl -LJO https://github.com/themactep/thingino-firmware/releases/latest/download/thingino-teacup.bin
truncate -s 256K thingino-teacup.bin
flashcp ./thingino-teacup.bin /dev/mtd0
We recommend to use tinyCam Monitor Pro.
If the camera in question has an Ingenic SoC, there is a good chance that Thingino can run on it. You can try to convert it using one of the prebuilt module firmware files or build a new one yourself. Donate such a camera to the project to speed up the process!

Thingino does not collect any data, metrics, or telemetry, ensuring your data remains solely on your device and entirely under your control. Being fully open source, Thingino allows you to audit the code and verify its operations, providing full transparency and peace of mind.

Place the original stock firmware backup file on an SD card and name as autoupdate-full.bin. Insert the card with the file into the camera and reboot.
