multiple_yi_dash_cam

I've been wondering how to deal with more than one Xiaomi Yi Dash Cam within single system. These are results.

prerequisites

  1. Raspberry Pi N with Raspbian Stretch (but should apply to any Linux)
  2. Two WiFi NICs
  3. At least two Xiaomi Yi Dash Cam

how to

  1. Setup your cameras to have separated SSIDs (and preferrable — passwords),
  2. Make sure your Wifi cards are working under your OS,
  3. Connect cards to the cameras,
  4. Setup NICs to have static IPs (append to /etc/dhcpcd.conf):
interface wlan0
static ip_address=192.168.1.11/24

interface wlan1
static ip_address=192.168.1.22/24
  1. Use firewall.sh to setup connectivity within your system,
  2. Access camera by requesting its network static IP address of your NIC.

specifying SSID per NIC

  1. Run wpa_cli, then:
> add_network
> select_network 0
> set_network 0 ssid "NameOfNetwork"
> set_network 0 psk "Passw0rd"
> save
  1. If you're using setup with dhcpcd, mv /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant-wlan0.conf
  2. Repeat above for the second (following) interfaces
  3. Check if everything is ok using iwconfig
