Do not guess your chipset based on the camera's plastic housing. To find the exact chip, you can: Normal behavior: The camera will dance/pan, make its
To proceed with your project, it helps to narrow down the specific hardware version you are holding. If you are ready to begin, tell me:
If you've already applied a patch, you might need to use -h V380E2_CA or whatever identifier the camera's logs indicate.
