Did you get a reply to this.
I have a Clever Dog camera to monitor a piece of equipment and it would be good to get notification when the image changes.
Clever dog cameras seem to be insecure and sending your WiFi data to china. It has telnet open and a web server with SD card videos (not secured with password). After watching this video, I wouldnt use my cleverdog camera anymore. Tapo C200 is a cheap recommendation as a replacement for Clever Dog camera. See this video by ChannelBeforePurpose on YouTube.
But if you entered your WiFi password in the app before, it is probably too late. In that case, I would recommend first changing your WiFi password, then create a static DHCP mapping and then creating a firewall rule to block it to anything except in their own network (IoT network is recommended). Then you could enter the HTTP server with the SD card videos and watch them, but I don’t know how to access the live stream. It is probably exposed without a password on a different port or URL on the web server.
(Apologies for thread necro; figured a single thread for one product would be best?)
Thinking of using a github utility from someone who reverse-engineered the protocol, to bring one of these cameras (with very poor security) and thereby use them “safely”.
Thinking of using a wifi hotspot (without internet), then have a Pi rtsp server essentially acting as bridge to the home network. In theory both HA and my NVR could use the same feed.
Anyone else gone down this route? Either way, I’ll post back here.
Ended up being very messy and unreliable attempting to get the tools working (probably my fault, not the github author). Didn’t seem worth it to keep trying, especially given replacement cameras were more secure + more compatible.
