VICO Home bird feeder camera

[Al Cohen]

Has anyone had luck using any software other than the phone app to access these cameras? The App is awful and I would like to use Synology Surveillance station. Trying to dial into the IP doesn't bring up any browser interface at all.
Model # is V5-DZWNQ

Fairly certain its a mass produced camera marketed under many names. The real mfg might be:
wisezec intelligent technology co., ltd. or VandSec

Something tells me it's going back to Amazon.

Thanks
Al

I can't offer anything positive to help, as most solar/battery cams won't stream RTSP you need for Blue Iris, VLC or to Synology surveillance station as you did with the Sercomm RC-4551 back in the spring. And a QR code to scan with their app reinforces that perception. I'd send it back.

I was able to get it to work with IP Camera 4, but not VLC. I must be doing something wrong. I'm still trying to finagle settings in Surveillance station. I may just get a different but ONVIF compliant camera

I was able to get Synology surveillance station to work! All I have to do was open my eyes to see the syntax I used was slightly incorrect.

"rtsp:/administrator@(camera IP)/img/video.sav"

"rtsp:/administrator@(camera IP)/img/media.sav" ( Here is an edit. video.sav had no audio. But after searching I saw that it needed to be media.sav for audio)

Thanks all for...

Thanks Tony,
I kept trying to no avail. Even tried the USB port to see if there was a way to tunnel in but no. Packed back up and on it's way to Amazon.
