| 3 | +## Alternative open firmware for your IP camera [][gitter] [][paypal] |
| 4 | +_(based on Buildroot)_ |
| 5 | + |
| 6 | +OpenIPC is an open source operating system from the [open community](opencollective) |
| 7 | +targeting for IP cameras with ARM and MIPS processors from several manufacturers in |
| 8 | +order to replace that closed, opaque, insecure, often abandoned and unsupported |
| 9 | +firmware pre-installed by a vendor. |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +OpenIPC [firmware][firmware] comes as binary pre-compiled files for easy |
| 12 | +installation by end-user. Also, we provide full access to the source files for |
| 13 | +further development and improvement by any capable programmer willing to |
| 14 | +contribute to the project. OpenIPC source code is released under one of the most |
| 15 | +simple open source license agreements, [MIT License][mit], giving users express |
| 16 | +permission to reuse code for any purpose, even as part of a proprietary software. |
| 17 | +We only ask you politely to contribute your improvements back to us. We would |
| 18 | +be grateful for any feedback and suggestions. |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +Historically, OpenIPC [firmware][firmware] only supported SoC manufactured by |
| 21 | +HiSilicon, but as the development continues, the list of supported processors |
| 22 | +expands. Today, it also includes chips from _Ambarella_, _Anyka_, _Fullhan_, _Goke_, |
| 23 | +_GrainMedia_, _Ingenic_, _MStar_, _Novatek_, _SigmaStar_, _XiongMai_, and is |
| 24 | +expected to grow further. |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | +More information about the [project][project] is available in our [website][website] |
| 27 | +and on the [wiki][wiki]. |
