accessing a cheap wifi camera?

Postby OddBaLLNo3 » 28 Jun 2023 05:55

I have a $20 polaroid id922 that I'd like to connect to. Its forcing me to connect to it using its garbage app on android. I'd like to use it for streaming, but there is no option that I see to see what format the stream is, nor what its port is. I know its gateway is 192.168.1.8 however I can't seem to get any further than that. anyone have any suggestions to try and get this working?

just sniff/find the RTSP url
:!: If you want your problem to be solved :
* First read troubleshooting guide VSG:Main
* Always provide verbose LOGS ! (command line or from gui)
* Always check your issue against a developer build from Nightly Build of VLC
* Tell us when your problem is solved !

Whats a good simple program to use to do that? its a point to point wifi connection, so I can't view router logs, I've tried a couple mapping app's and a few terminal utilities on Linux, my problem is I'm a novice and most of the Linux utility programs barf out so much info that I have no idea what I'm looking at. I've also managed to gain just a bit more info, pawing around on the nmap function, I was able to determine that ports 80 and 8222 are open, but after 2 hours that's all the info I was able to obtain.

You could run a network dump apk from the phone, or even directly https://www.wireshark.org/docs/man-page ... ddump.html .
Then wireshark will show you a lot of information but you can filter to only see RTSP packets, which will give you those information.
