Release 2.31.0 — 136 new cameras, Imou correction pass + dedupe, ACTi port fix, CONTRIBUTING cleanup - #422

Added

QuarkView, new brand: 22 cameras (Shenzhen Kuake Trading Co., Ltd.). This starts from the TA-XM-605GP-AI-80N requested in #421; closes #421.

• Sources: QuarkView's own product pages and family manuals.
• RTSP: paths are included only where a QuarkView manual documents them (Xiongmai user=…&channel=1&stream=0.sdp, main stream only).
• App-only cameras are cloud-required.
• Skipped: one camera whose page doesn't state its form factor.

41 cameras found by comparing makers' catalogues with the dataset

• Sources: every value comes from the maker's own product page or datasheet.
• Left out of the diff results:
  • variants of existing records
  • accessories and subscription plans (Wyze "Cam Vase" and "Unlimited")
  • unreleased pages (three Reolink models)
  • pages with no spec table

50 Imou cameras + eufy Window Camera E10 (Imou 119 → 164 after the merges below), found by comparing imou.com's product catalogue (about 158 camera pages) with the dataset.

• What's covered:
  • the 2MP/3MP variants of the Bullet, Cruiser, Cell and Ranger lines (only the 4MP/5MP models were in the dataset)
  • the PS-series (PS2M, PS3D, PS3E, PS7F, PS70F, PS8D, PS8E)
  • Rex / Rex 2D / Rex 3D / Rex VT, and Ranger RC/SE/2C/2 Dual
  • A1 Pro, DK3, the S21FA/S41FA PoE PTZs, the T42EA turret, Doorbell Wired and VDP7
• Sources: Imou's own detail and spec pages, plus 107 official datasheets from static-website.imou.com.
• Configs: included only where the spec sheet lists ONVIF. They use the Dahua path existing Imou records use, marked unverified.
• eufy: only the Window Camera E10 (T8404121) was added. The S4 Max kit pages give no per-camera specs.

22 more cameras from makers' stores and datasheet libraries

• Aliases instead of duplicates: store listings that turned out to be existing cameras became aliases.
  • EmpireTech PTZ8C42X-T180
  • Hiseeu HD975B-P
  • Amcrest IP8M-TB2886EW-AI (its own spec sheet is the B2886)
  • Campark SC30, now an alias of the identical Toguard SC30
• Skipped: three HiLook links serve another model's datasheet. Everything else was a colour variant or an existing record. All 12 ieGeek store items were already in the dataset.

Changed

Imou correction pass: 96 of the 119 existing Imou records corrected against Imou's official spec pages and the datasheets they link (static-website.imou.com).

• Specs copied from sibling variants: 5MP Bullet 2C / 2C Pro / 2E Pro / 3, Cell 3C All-in-One (dimensions and weight), Rex 3D R1, Cruiser Dual, Cell Go Full Color.
• VDP7 PoE: it carried the 2-wire model's DC 24V and Wi-Fi 6. It's now PoE 802.3af/at and Ethernet only.
• Cruiser 4G: night vision 10 → 30 m, plus audio, sensor, lens, codecs and model code.
• Mis-typed cameras: A1 4MP, PS2M 4K and Rex 3D R1 are pan-tilt (ptz), not box or turret.
• Connectivity: several Wi-Fi-only models listed an Ethernet port; a few with an Ethernet port lacked it.
• Model codes: official productReportedModel codes are now aliases. Sibling or other-product codes were removed, for example a 2MP code on a 4MP record and Cue 2 codes on a Cue 2E.
• Price strings: two leftover retail price strings were removed from features.
• Rules followed:
  • Values the official sheets don't state (mostly IP ratings) were left unchanged.
  • Where Imou's spec page and datasheet disagree, the record notes both.
  • Configs, NDAA and markets were not touched.
  • Every corrected record lists what changed in release_notes, with last_verified 2026-10-30.

Imou duplicates merged: Imou publishes these cameras under two names with identical official spec tables. Each pair is now one record, with the other name and codes kept as aliases:

• Ranger 2C Pro 5MP → Ranger 2 Pro 5MP
• Cue 2 3MP → Cue 2E 3MP
• Ranger 2C Dual 10MP → Ranger 2 Dual
• A1 Dual → Ranger 2C Dual 6MP
• T22EA → Turret SE 2MP

On the website, the old camera URLs will 301-redirect to the remaining record.

Removed: imou-indoor-2k matched no Imou product. Its Cue 2 sources describe a 2MP fixed camera, but the record claimed a 3MP pan-tilt. Its URL will redirect to the Imou brand page.

Still unchanged: DK2 5MP. Imou's own page and datasheet show 4MP specs.

ACTi RTSP port. 22 ACTi records now use port 554 instead of 7070: A214, A426, A711, A713, A826, A951, A952, A956, Q450, Q83, Z32, Z33, Z34, Z36, Z37, Z41, Z42, Z71, Z710, Z84, Z94 and Z95.

• Why so few: I checked 47 of ACTi's firmware manuals, mapped to 439 models through each model's Resources tab on acti.com.
  • 7070 is the factory default for most firmware (V, A, S and C series; 413 models).
  • 554 applies only to newer models and the Z-series OEM line.
• What changed: only records whose own manual states 554. Each cites the manual ID in release_notes.
• Unchanged: every other ACTi record keeps 7070.
• Verified configs: user-verified configs are skipped. None of these 22 had one.
• RTSP pattern data: ACTi's brand-level entry now says 7070, with 554 for the newer lines.

CONTRIBUTING.md

• Field reference: rebuilt from schema/camera.schema.json.
  • The removed msrp_* price fields are gone; the schema rejects them.
  • The type, connectivity, protocol and IK enums are corrected.
  • 19 schema fields that weren't documented now are.
  • The example record validates against the schema.
• Rules: these now match how records are actually built:
  • official sources only (retailers only corroborate)
  • one record per camera, with packaging variants as aliases
  • min_lux only when labelled B/W; never "0 lux with IR"

README and scripts

• The QA tool section now gives the correct data path (../docs/cameras.json first; the file picker also works from disk).
• gen-model-enrichment.js: the size comment now says the output is about 10 MB.

Also

• Dates the 2.30.0 changelog entry (released 2026-10-25).
• Version bumped to 2.31.0.

Checks

• npm run lint -- --fix, npm run build, gen-model-enrichment and lint-data all pass.
• The build counts 29,582 cameras (+136 new, −1 removed, −5 merged).
• All 136 new records have an added date (2026-10-28), an official source and last_verified.
• RTSP records carry complete Frigate, Home Assistant and Blue Iris configs.
