I think the only option for that is flashing custom firmware, which i am not sure can be done on the most recent hardware revisions.

Ask HN: Self-hosted open source IP security cameras? | Mar 2022
For open source and self-hosted, I've been pretty pleased with openmiko (https://github.com/openmiko/openmiko). I put this on a couple $20-ish wyze cams that are used adhoc right now, but will be combined with frigate and home assistant when I can get ahold of a Coral USB device.
Ask HN: What Are You Working On? | Apr 2021
Still working on https://github.com/openmiko/openmiko - a fully open source firmware for security cameras that doesn't require some cloud server. Privacy and security oriented.
A simple C implementation to stream H.264 to browser using WebRTC | Apr 2021
This would be interesting to integrate into https://github.com/openmiko/openmiko which is a firmware for the T20 based ip-cameras.

Right now, I am not aware of any cheap ip camera that can stream its H264 video to a regular web browser, with sub 500 ms latency. All manufacturers seem to have moved to an app, I guess they can show an RTSP stream in that way.

Older ip cameras had MJPEG which you could view in the browser, but that is really inefficient w.r.t. bandwidth.

Ask HN: What is your current side-project? | Mar 2021
https://github.com/openmiko/openmiko

Software to completely replace the core functionality of cameras like WyzeCam while allowing it to be used in a purely local (ie. cloud free) setup wihtout phoning home to anywhere.

Any C/C++ software engineers want to bounce ideas and work on project together? | Mar 2021
Currently working on a project for a cloud free camera: https://github.com/openmiko/openmiko if you'd like to help.
Backdoors and other vulnerabilities in HiSilicon based hardware video encoders | Sep 2020
This is actually one of many reasons I started my own project to rewrite some of the firmware on an IP camera that I bought (WyzeCam). I wanted something open where I owned most of the stack and could customize as needed. I'm not as worried with a hardware level backdoor but firmware backdoors and/or just bugs are more worrisome. It has been a great learning experience working on the embedded side.

If anyone is interested this is the project: https://github.com/openmiko/openmiko
