The Android app "Fing" provided a list of the services available on the Linux camera ports (one could have used nmap on a computer):
- 23 telnet
- 80 http
- 554 rtsp
- 8080 http-proxy
Telnetting to the device from my Mac gave me a login prompt but as I described in the previous post, there was no login possible because no users are enabled.
The HTTP server helpfully serves up a simple page designed to load new firmware (which there appears, currently, to be none - in fact the ProMark website is strange. It exists but things like the pages to order replacement parts like propellers and batteries have no prices or links to actually buy anything - which makes one wonder if the company really still exists...or only existed for one Christmas season).
I could get nothing at the 8080 port but was more interested to see if I could find a way to stream video from the board. Many, many hours later I was able to figure out the following way to watch real-time video using VLC. The intermediate time was spent with Wireshark watching packets on my Mac between the board and my android phone and *a lot* of googling. A hint from the wireshark log agreed with Fing that there was a RTSP video stream.
rtsp://192.168.0.1:554/0 RTSP/1.0\r\n URL rtsp://192.168.0.1/0/track1
So finally I was able to watch the camera's output in VLC with the following URL for VLC (it seems so simple written here, but there were hours of my befuddled thinking before....):
rtsp://192.168.0.1/0
