 Unfortunately SJCAM does not support this camera very much: the latest **firmware upgrade** is from September 2020, despite there are some evident bugs and several aspects of the user interface which should be improved. Thirdy part support is poor: there is no **waterproof case** except the original one, which unfortunately has a plastic window. There is not much documentation about **customizing the firmware** or scripting using the **Ambarella Scripting**.

 You can also send messages from the camera itself: the **RTOS** operating system provides the **telnet** command which can ben used to talk to the **GNU/Linux** operating system running on the same camera, which handles the API requests (the camera actually runs two operating system simultaneusly: RTOS and Linux). In this scenario I was able to talk to the API but with no interaction: I used ''telnet'' to only send messages but I did not find any way to read the answers.
+===== Connecting to GNU/Linux via USB =====
+If you connect the SJ8 Pro camera to a GNU/Linux computer using an USB cable, the Linux kernel will detect it, this is the **lsusb** output:
+<code>
+Bus 001 Device 006: ID 070a:4026 Oki Electric Industry Co., Ltd A9 Platform
+</code>
+The kernel inform also that the device is available as **USB Mass Storage**:
