Bought one of these a while ago. It’s alright. Not particularly secure, software is annoying, and I think there’s a lot more that can be done with it. Gradually working on improving it, this post will capture random notes on it.
Bought tinyCam Monitor Pro in the Play store when it was on sale a while back, fought with cameras for a bit before giving up. Came back to it for a bit today and was able to make it work with the following settings:
- Camera vendor: (Generic)
- Camera model: Generic URL
- JPEG/MPEG/RTSP request: rtsp://ip.addr.or.hostname:554/H264?ch=(1-8)&subtype=1
- Where ip.addr.or.hostname is the IP or hostname of the LaView device and (1-8) is the channel/camera number you wish to add.
- Protocol: RTSP over UDP (MPEG/H264/H265)
- Username: valid username on device (default “admin”)
- Password: valid password for username provided above (default for admin “123456”)
ONVIF Device Manager on SourceForge, appears to provide an NVR for network video forwarding and storage on port 8000. Not a ton of info on the port/protocol, but did run across it in the setup. http://sourceforge.net/projects/onvifdm/
