Is it possible to switch regions to US or other server?

I have one G2H with firmware settings set for China, and using this guide, able to get working (Telnet, RTSP) and able to make useful -- Thank you !!

Homekit also works, but the Aqara features for the unit only support Chinese region, won't register in the Aqara app otherwise (some features being unavailable)

I'm wondering if it's possible to update, mod or amend the firmware and settings -- to get this unit working under the US region or other region instead, I also have a working US version to compare with, could serve as a source. The IP addresses in the script appear to be the same for both versions.

I didn't realize when I bought the 'Blue' version on AE, the camera would be configured for China only and wouldnt work -- as most other Aqara zigbee devices are not tied to a region -- bit of a surprise there.

The camera hardware is the same, so should be just a matter of getting the right settings on the device?

@txara I'd think transplanting the files from your American G2H to this Chinese market version would do the trick considering the hardware should be identical. From memory the whole file system is writeable...which makes it very easy. But you would probably just need to copy over some key files, but can't hurt to copy others.

One way might be to insert an SD card in the US camera, tar (preserving file attributes) the file system, move the card to the CN camera and extract some files.
