Hello,
I have an old D-Link DCS-930L camera. The hardware version printed behind is A2. See attached photo.

This is an old camera lying around I am wondering if I can use it so as to monitor the back door of the property. Doesn't matter if the openwrt version s old.
I checked the supported list, the supported h/w as per openwrt is A1, A3, B1. There is no mention of A2 hardware version.
In the hardware section, the internal photo description says, PCB marking A2 exterior marking A3. Well I have not opened the camera yet.
So question is, can I use the A1, A3, B1 version. on the A2 hardware version.

4/32 the version will be really ancient. Probably ridden by well known ota bugs (11w aka PMF would be required for anythinng security)
since residual value is not particularily impressive why dont you try before dumpster.

d the unit and to my surprise, the PCB is marked A1, the outside unit has a sticker reading A2. See attached photos.
Now I tried both the firmware as listed on openwrt wiki page, non works. Any suggestion.

Not supported, will not ever be (way too small flash+ram)
