To enable shell access you must create an empty file on the SD card named enable_info_display.script.
Then you can connect to the camera using telnet:
telnet 192.168.42.1 23You will be presented a login promt:
buildroot login:
Type root and hit enter. You are now connected to the camera's root Linux shell
Technically just a raw TCP socket connection, but it's easier to just call it telnet.

This doesn't always work. The only 100% way I know is to first connect with the official app.
Fired after start_photo_capture

This message has been observed when taking out the battery with the cam on USB power, but I haven't been able to reproduce it so far.

Is this up to date anymore? I'm trying to fiddle around with my Yi Lite Camera. I'm trying to turn it into a Webcam instead of having to stream over wifi which has delay
