Is there any open source firmware or OS for IP camera like openwrt for routers

Question

Is there any open source firmware or OS for IP cameras like OpenWrt for routers.

I need an OS or a firmware for IP cameras in order to communicate with our cloud service easily. I have some experience with OpenWrt that's why I'm thinking in that way.

My target is to get an HTTP call (minimum GET call ) from the IP camera. Is there any IP camera which are using opensource firmware?

I am looking for the same thing and found your request here in my Google search. There are a ton of opensource cameras out there. Something high end (3D stereo vision for starters): https://www.elphel.com/ open hardware and free software. I am not associated with this company, they happen to be local and I've known the founder for years.

It appears that OpenIPC firmware is exactly like OpenWrt for IP cameras.

It can be done with openWRT with some models, though is not offically supported and not fully functional, example: https://blog.tho.ms/hacks/2016/08/28/openwrt-on-logilink-wc0030a.html That camera uses a popular soic used in many similar models
