It can be delivered through UDP or TCP, but most importantly, this protocol is supported by VLC, QuickTime Player, mplayer, RealPlayer (if that’s even a thing now) and most 3G/4G compatible mobile phones (mileage may vary though).īut by default this camera does not support RTSP and is cloud only (which is a tad bit worrisome if you ask me but I digress) Fortunate for us, there’s a project on GitHub to enable RTSP. The Real Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP) is a network control protocol that can be used with a myriad of different programs and was designed such that client-side applications can begin displaying the audio and video content before the complete file has arrived. As mentioned earlier, it is intended to use with the “Mi Home” app on the Apple Store or Google Play but to be honest, we don’t get care about this all that much…’cause we’ll hack it. It has a slot for an SD card and supports WiFi but unfortunately provides no Ethernet connection. This camera can be procured at your favorite Asian online vendor, notable sites are (Banggood, TinyDeal, Fasttech and the list goes on…) The camera features a 2.7 inch CMOS sensor, 8X digital zoom, two-way audio and is capable of 1080p. Please go to the discord chat to get more info.
Moreover for those having issues, I suggest using v4.0.11 of the MiHome app, as the most recent version v4.1.7, is apparently doing some sort of geo-blocking to prevent users outside China from using the Camera. But be aware that there are also reports that either a new model of the camera or new firmware is preventing the fang-hacks from working (apparently models with the QR code at the bottom and the MAC address starting with 34). However, according to the developer the hack will work fine regardless of the firmware version. Update 1: (May, 2017)Īs of May, users are reporting difficulties in trying to hack this camera. As luck would have it, I put together a guide for just that! Check out my post: Guide: VPN Server with the Rapsberry Pi. Many have asked what would be the best approach to access the video stream via the internet. Xiaomi 1080p WiFi Camera Update 2: (June, 2017)
Boo… But lucky for us, and thanks to some very smart people over at this GitHub page, there’s a way to get an RTSP stream working with this camera. But more so, it lacks one key feature: no RTSP.
Only downside though, the camera is intended for the Asian market and assumes you’ll use their “Mi Home” app to control all of its features.
Being someone who just love cameras, I’ve recently come across a great *cheap* 1080p mini cam to incorporate into my home monitoring system.
