Request: firmware dump for Aqara Camera E1 (CH-C01) #71

Hi @niceboygithub, first of all thanks for the great work on this repo — the G2H Pro firmware mods have been incredibly useful for getting native RTSP working on those units.

I'd like to ask whether it would be possible to add firmware dumps for the Aqara Camera E1 (model CH-C01) to this repository.

Context / motivation

  • I have a few E1 units running in my home network and I've noticed that, like the G2H Pro before the firmware hack, they appear to keep an RTSP-related port open on the LAN — suggesting the same internal RTSP service is present in the stock firmware, just not exposed/enabled to the user.
  • Since the modding approach you documented for the G2H Pro (unpacking the OEM firmware, patching the relevant init/service to expose RTSP natively, repacking and flashing) worked so well, it's very likely the same approach would apply to the E1 — but without a firmware image to start from, there's no way to verify or replicate it.
  • The current repo covers G2H, G2H Pro, G3, M1S, M2, P1 etc., but I couldn't find anything for the E1 line.

What would be helpful

  • An OEM firmware dump (or a pointer to where to get one) for the Aqara Camera E1 (CH-C01), ideally with the same layout you use for the other models so that the modding workflow can be applied consistently.
  • If you don't have a unit on hand: any guidance on how to extract the firmware safely from a running E1 (UART pinout, recovery mode, OTA URL sniffing, etc.) would already be a great starting point — I'm happy to do the dump myself and contribute it back via PR.

Thanks again for maintaining this repo!
