Tried, but no difference. The entity shows nothing on a picture card like my other cameras.
A MI account-ot próbáld meg átrakni Németországra és úgy működni fog!
A legtöbb cuccom kinai szerveren van, kivéve a porszivó. Azt mondod dobjam át a porszivó accountjára a kamerákat?
hello do you have someone instructions on how to get streaming video? Thanks
Itt egy remek megoldás HA-hez való integráláshoz!
- Format SD card FAT32
- Copy two files to the SD card
- Follow the link descriptions

Great. Thanks for the link. I’ve read (via translation) the info on the link you provided and I have a couple of questions (in case you’ve already done this yourself and could clarify):
-
Do you need to modify the bootloaded before you can flash this new firmware ? (The page here says that the UBoot unlocker needs to be flashed first. Is it still requiered ?
-
The instruction advise to do a backup of the original firmware first. Do you need to do this before the bootloader modificaiton or after (in case bootloader modification is indeed needed) ?
-
Is the device stable after or it crashes often (my outdoor camera is hard to access so I’d rather avoid having to reboot it regularly
)?
I have tested.
No bootloader change,
no backup required.
Stable.
Problem:
No record on SD card … Install addon motioneye
The Internet is very busy and the router does not catch up. I’m trying to combine H265 playback instead of H264
Great. Thanks for the quick reply.
1st batches of this camera came with unlocked bootloader. if you have newer batch you have locked bootloader which only accepts signed firmware. if camera won’t accept custom firmware (demo_hlc6.bin) you have to replace uboot with unlocked one (demo_boot.bin).
Hi bishop, at the moment I can’t test it unfortunately. reading the guide I had your same doubts too and I would have liked to ask the same questions you did. as for the bootloader I had thought of following the guide for loading from microsd. so first the bootloader and then the firmware, the backup instead I thought not to do it.
Yes, I bought cameras a year ago.
Hi bishop,
did you tried the custom firmware?
Hello,
I’ve tried to flash the firmware but did not have much luck so far.
I first tried flashing the firmware directly. This did not work. The LED would stay orange and not turn white as said it should and the firmware would not flash and the original firmware was booting up.
I then flashed only U-BOOT. This seemed to work. The LED turn white and then back to orange after a while.
I then flashed the firmware. Again this seemed to work, but I cannot connect to the camera. The article say that a wifi hotspot should be present, but I see nothing (I tried forcing the SSID in case it was hidden as well, but still no luck). I also tried configuring my wifi data in the conf file as explained in the article but the camera does not connect to my wifi.
I tried quite a few times now. With UBoot alone, with firmware alone, with Uboot and firmware together on the SD card … each time I have the same result. The camera seems to flash something but I cannot connect to the camera in any way 
Of course I was too lazy to do a backup of the original firmware so now I have a camera which is not working anymore. I’ll try some more but don’t have the time to continue playing with this right now. Let me know if you try and if you have more luck!
I’ve tested some more, this time with the USB method (see details in article two of the russian site). Installing the driver is a bit painfull but at least I have some feedback on what’s happening via the Hitool. I can flash the uboot fine and I can flash the custom firmware fine (Hitool confirms the flasing went fine), but then the camera still doesn’t do anything (no wifi network create …). Using Hitool and the original firmware images downloaded from the russian site, I manage to reflash the original firmware and can reconnect the camera via the Xiaomi Home app, so at leat not doing a backup of the original firmware was not such a big issue. Still I would like to have the custom firmware working so if anyone has an idea of what I’m doing wrong please let me know 
Hi,
i see a new custom firmware version 1.2.6 (09/27/21).
https://github.com/avdeevsv91/mjsxj02hl_firmware/releases/tag/1.2.6
It’s very strange that you did not see the wifi network. Anyway…Thank you for your feedback.
Thanks for pointing me to this new version of the firmware. I’m not sure if they changed something with this new version or if I did something different, but this time I managed to flash the camera.
It’s now working and connected to home assistant
happy to read this form you.
So according to you how is the cam working with home assistant?
Is the streaming good? the motion sensor is working fine?
is it stable?
The streaming is working well and so far it seems stable (running for 1 day now without problems). I tried quickly to have the motion detection linked to MQTT sensors to have alerts on motion detection, but it did not work straight away and I did not have the time to look at it in detail. I’ll try to look at it when I get more time.
As far as I’m concerned, the hack is well worth it
