How the pieces fit together — three concrete builds
Some IP camera apps generate a QR code containing Wi-Fi credentials and camera UID. Scanning it with the camera’s lens connects it to your network.

Steps (detailed outline):
This method automatically populates the device's unique serial number and P2P (peer-to-peer) settings, allowing for remote viewing without complex network configuration. 2.

Once flashed, your camera is no longer a commodity device; it becomes an independent IoT device with an "intellectual demon." Unlike standard IP cameras that constantly stream video to a cloud server, telkam sits idle until the motion detection algorithm analyzes the intersection of given lines. When it detects an event, it wakes up, records a short video clip (~10 seconds), and sends it directly to Telegram using your Wi-Fi. This approach uses the Internet traffic insignificantly and supports several users connecting to the detector simultaneously.
Use an online QR code generator to turn this text block into a QR image. This approach uses the Internet traffic insignificantly and
A ready-made solution exists: on Telegram. This bot allows you to associate a QR code with an action (e.g., capture from IP cam).
