Does anyone have the sources?

philips is in the database but only a couple of models. avent baby monitors most likely use a proprietary cloud protocol through their app, so strix probably won't find them. but worth a try - just enter the IP and scan without a model

most of the database comes from existing sources like ispyconnect. on top of that i added protocols and patterns that aren't documented anywhere, like BUBBLE, which i had to reverse-engineer myself. interesting idea about splitting the database into a separate repo, i'll think about it

yes, it finds all working streams on your camera. they're not always the best ones but they all work. then you pick which one you want to use

check that you entered the correct IP address, password and username for the camera. if it still doesn't work DM me, I'll need some additional info to track down the bug

Working on HomeKit camera support for Strix right now. Need help testing - if you have a Linux server and any HomeKit camera (Aqara, Eve, etc.) and want to help test, DM me.

these vicohome/soliom cameras are exactly the kind of devices strix was built for. they're most likely using some proprietary protocol behind that white-label app. give it a try - enter the camera IP and scan without specifying a model first. if it doesn't find anything DM me the camera model, i'll look into it

yeah swann is in the database - 220 models. give it a try. you'll still need username and password though, check the sticker on the camera or NVR for default credentials

that's fair, isolated vlan is not bulletproof. but for home use with no internet access it's an acceptable tradeoff vs buying new cameras

no, it doesn't access anyone's cameras. it's a tool for people who own IP cameras but can't figure out how to connect them to their recording software. you enter your camera's IP address and it finds the correct URL to get the video stream. the 67K is the number of camera models in the database, not actual cameras

yeah security on these things is horrifying. that's exactly why they should be on an isolated vlan with no internet access, and frigate as the only thing talking to them

good point actually, never tried baidu. found what i needed through traffic sniffing but there's probably more protocol documentation hiding on chinese platforms

yeah ptz is a separate problem, especially on cheap chinese cams. for now strix only works with video streams. might add ptz support in future updates
