I have an old chinese ip camera connected in my LAN, with its software and plugin for browsers. I have a PC with 192.168.1.8, the ip camera has an ip 192.168.1.111 I can see the video from its software and when connected in the browser, like: http://192.168.1.111/html/index.html from which I must click "Local" to receive the video stream. I want to use another third party program that needs the lan URL of the cam's video to connect. In the manual there's nothing and the vendor has closed his site... So I'm trying with wireshark to sniff the url. I tried to capture from a FF tab before opening the home link "http://192.168.1.111/html/index.html" with this filter: ip.addr==192.168.1.111 and here is the results: https://www.cloudshark.org/captures/5ee1157195ea My test autenthication is: user:prova pass:video I haven't seen any direct url of the stream in the data, that seems only HTTP and TCP (no RTSP or other)... Could you help me detect it? If you need more info or different wireshark data, ask me what you need. Thank you very much. asked 09 Sep '15, 08:22  Vincenzo Fer... edited 09 Sep '15, 08:24 |

So, is it impossible to connect to this camera from a third party prog?
Hi Vincenzo, i don't think it is impossible .. but depends on many factors, is your 3rd party prog configurable to talk like a browser when addressing the cam? Time spent vs the money of a different one etc.
Well, I see the most progs need an url of video stream to connect... they doesn't act like a browser, maybe they use http commands for PTZ motors... For the "chinese characters" found in the above TCP stream, do you think it's possible to decode to normal text, so I can recover this URL stream? If that's not possible, I'll give up...
