The open operating system for the machines that see.
Open firmware and tools for the eyes of the physical world: IP cameras, FPV drones, and the robots that are learning to use them. Your hardware answers to you, not to a vendor's cloud.
$ 140+ repositories · dozens of SoC families · since 2019
Cameras shouldn't die when their cloud does.
The vendor moves on
Firmware updates stop. Security holes stay. The app disappears from the store.
The servers go quiet
Servers get switched off, and a working camera turns into plastic and silicon with nothing to do.
You flash OpenIPC
The camera boots an open, maintained system — and answers to you. No backdoors. No subscriptions. Less e-waste.
One platform, four fronts
OpenIPC is more than firmware — it is an ecosystem built by people who run it on their own hardware.
Camera firmware
