Hi!

I bought Waltter Move 500 (i think Eken H9 is about to same thing) action camera. I thought that I can use it's remote android app with Sailfish via AD. Everybody seems to recommend Ez-iCam app, but it doesn't work. i can join wifi ap, but no devices are found. I have tried few different apps but nothing works.. However, I can watch live stream with vlc when i type this: rtsp://192.168.1.1/MJPG?W=640&H=360&Q=50&BR=3000000 But this only works with android tablet, but not with Sailfish AD installed vlc player.

I scanned ports and it seems use 21 and 554. I think 21 is for basic ftp for viewing recorded videos and images. And 554 is for remote commands and live stream.

Any ideas? I basicly only need that for camera aiming and checking, start/stop recording remotely.

Thanks in advance!

mmh, having the same or similar experiences with e.g. FRITZ Fon App, Nina, Katwarn, others, ...

I am afraid there will be no solution to this. And I did not see any hint how to overcome or even debug this down. Someone else?

you'd have better luck plugging the rtsp url into something like lls video player or directly into gstreamer rather than using alien dalvik

Ok. Thanks for the advice r0kk3rz. Will try that.

Usually the android APK could be decompiled to java source and it turns out that the recording and other stuff is handled via a simple HTTP request based communication.

Yes. I managed to get live stream LLs vPlayer. With AndFtp i can download videos and pics to phone if i want. Ftp username is 331 and password wificam. Not ideal situation but it helps a little.

Wish i could send rtsp commands so i could start/stop recording from phone..
