## How you can help!
* RTSP Server: Live view in the app doesn't work when set to "HD" or "SD", need to check libcallback sources to see why this happens, if you can help with this, check it out.
* Vertical Tilt on the PANv2 doesn't work properly. Only does this on the modified kernel. Need investigation why this happens.

If a remote or app update is initiated, the camera will reboot due to the failure of the update. The firmware update should not proceed again for some time, or at all.
When a firmware update is initiated, due to a bootloader bug, we intercept the update process and flash it manually. This should now result in a successful update, if it doesn't, please restore the unit's firmware manually using demo_wcv3.bin on the micro sd card.

the next time you boot your camera, make sure your USB Ethernet Adapter is connected to the camera and ethernet. The camera has to be setup initially with Wi-Fi for this to work. After setup, Wi-Fi is no longer needed, as long as you are using the USB Ethernet Adapter. Note that using USB Ethernet disables the onboard Wi-Fi.

the next time you boot your camera, make sure your USB cable is connected to the router. Remember, the camera has to be setup initially with Wi-Fi for this to work. After setup, Wi-Fi is no longer needed. Note that using USB Direct disables the onboard Wi-Fi. Change the MAC Address if you desire via USB_DIRECT_MAC_ADDR variable.
Connectivity is supported using a direct USB connection only... this means a single cable from the camera, to a supported host (An OpenWRT router, for example) that supports the usb-cdc-ncm specification. (NCM, not ECM) If you have an OpenWrt based router, install the ```kmod-usb-net-cdc-ncm``` package. The camera should automatically pull the IP from the router with most configurations. You can also use any modern linux distro to provide internet to the camera, provided it supports CDC_NCM. enjoy!

Note: If you don't set the password, then the password will be the unique MAC address of the camera, in all uppercase, including the colons... for example:. AA:BB:CC:00:11:22.
