Acknowledgments
Great thanks to the following project which inspires this project, as well as my other 720p camera which is in production mode at the moment.
Special thanks to the following people and their projects that actually make this project possible!
shadow-1 and their project shadow-1/yi-hack-v3, which currently supports another approach of hacking this type of camera due to the specifications of currently RTSP implementation. We hope to combine our projects in the near future when both RTSP and offcial approach can be utilized at the same time.

andy2301 and their development of the RTSP sever used in this project. We are working hard to see if there could be way to make RTSP and official application to co-exist, and most importantly to support 1080p streaming.
