V380 Custom Firmware

Many V380 cameras do not support ONVIF out of the box, meaning they cannot be used with open-source NVR software like Blue Iris, Shinobi, ZoneMinder, or Frigate. Custom firmware adds full ONVIF Profile S/T support, making the camera a standard citizen in any professional surveillance ecosystem.

OpenIPC is an open-source Linux-based firmware for Ingenic/HiSilicon cameras.

Supported V380 cameras: T20, T31, T41-based modules. v380 custom firmware

Steps to flash:

Pros: Full control, no cloud, active community.
Cons: Requires serial connection for first flash; may lose some sensors. Many V380 cameras do not support ONVIF out

Most cameras running the V380 app utilize low-cost System-on-Chip (SoC) designs, primarily from manufacturers like HiChip (Hi3518, Hi3516) or XM (XiongMai).

Flashing V380 custom firmware is not as simple as clicking an .exe file. You will need: Pros: Full control, no cloud, active community

Erase the old partitions and write the new one:

nand erase 0x200000 0x400000
nand write 0x80600000 0x200000 0x400000
nand erase 0x600000 0x700000
nand write 0x81000000 0x600000 0x700000

Then run reset.

For older V380 cameras based on the XM (XiongMai) platform, there are legacy hacks that enable telnet and FTP access. However, these are not recommended for new projects due to outdated kernels and security vulnerabilities.

V380 is a widely used consumer IP camera app/ecosystem (cheap indoor/outdoor Wi‑Fi cameras). Many models run low-cost SoCs and firmware derived from generic camera platform images.
