Got the unboxing video done:
Actually, it gets better...it's $80.Looking at the videos, are a few issues with the image quality both day and night, but then again for $99, you can't really complain. Good value for a home user.
While this was not made for this camera, you could drill some holes through the mount to make it work:What would you recommend so I can pole mount this on my satellite mast?
That is for the P2P service. It's Alibaba's USA servers. You can turn that off if you choose not to use the P2P and do port forwarding instead. To do so, simply turn this off:What/what does this camera phone home too?
I ran a packet capture and see UDP data going to the following after only a few minutes:
47.91.64.0/19
47.88.0.0/14
72.21.192.0/19
47.91.96.0/19
94.177.160.0/19
That is the latest. We should have another one being released very soon that addresses a few minor issues.What is the latest firmware?
I see nowhere on the GoSwiftSecurity site to download or read firmware changelogs. It appears mine is running: V4.31.4.8_180814
Substitute "0" for "A" if Mainstream is wanted, as in:The "Instruction" says:
rtsp://IPort/ch01/A
A:0(MainStream), 1(SubStream), 2(MobileStream)
I've tried the following formats in VLC with no go:
VLC is unable to open the MRL 'rtsp://172.25.5.10:554/ch01/A'. Check the log for details.
rtsp://172.25.5.10:554/ch01/0
I have been running one since Early October, I also checked the outgoing traffic going out and turned off p2p, The cam has performed very well.Doing some more traffic sniffing, I have a few more things:
1) I disabled the P2P switch in the configs, yet I still see it querying DNS for Amazon Cloud records.
2) Why does it default query for an AAAA record when I see nowhere in the config for IPv6, and it doesn't appear to be compatible.
3) I opened up limited ports on my VLAN for this cam, DNS (53), 465 & 587 (SMTP with TLS/SSL), and NTP (123). Looking at the traffic sniffing, it requests 2-3 times for an AAAA record for smtp.gmail.com and then it requests a single time for an A record. After that it gives up.
I have pfSense to log any packets on these ports listed above, and don't see a single packet for SMTP. Does the email functionality work?
So far it seems like a decent camera, I have only had limited amounts of time to play with it today.
Its possible that is traffic for the time server, ddns, and email servers. Even if you arent using it or have it setup, im curious if it tries to attempt to make it happen anyways by defaut. Honestly, im not sure though, I'd have to ask the factory.Doing some more traffic sniffing, I have a few more things:

Works like a champ in BI.Do they work with BI ? Also there is no audio ?
