TP-LINK TL-MR3020 + OPENWRT + WEBCAM

This project uses an inexpensive TP-LINK TL-MR3020 Portable 3G/4G Wireless N Router with an Linux UVC supported camera to create an IP Camera that can be placed in a good location for surveillance.
 

Prerequisites

 
After flashing the latest OpenWRT image file (openwrt-ar71xx-generic-tl-mr3020-v1-squashfs-factory dated 03-Jun-2013), my TL-MR3020 is bricked. All the LED is keep on blinking (about 3 seconds once) except power LED, and the network is getting connected and disconnected every 3 seconds. Very lucky that the problem was fiexed by using serial console and Tftpd32 method.
