Here's how to flash your ESP32-C6 to work as an RCP (Radio Co-Processor) with Home Assistant's OpenThread Border Router add-on.
mkdir ~/esp-openthread && cd ~/esp-openthread
git clone -b v5.4.2 --recursive https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf.git
cd esp-idf

In a Thingino-powered network setup, every camera can be configured to automatically register via MQTT and record video directly to an NFS share using a small script added to /etc/rc.local on each device. This approach centralizes control and customization, allowing you to modify behavior for all cameras from a single server.
This file can be included in each firmware build by including the modified rc.local file in thingino-firmware/overlay/upper/etc/rc.local
