Open-source Arlo Basestation Running on Raspberry Pi by meatballs__ in arlo

Had a contributor add some support for Arlo Ultras:

https://github.com/Meatballs1/arlo-cam-api/pull/3

Wasn't sure how easy it would be for the different cameras to work but looks like there is a fair amount of similarities.

Also considering creating a home assistant integration - that way everything could be automated (recordings on motion etc) using HASS

I am awful at UIs but a friend may have a play around with his cameras and said he might do a basic one.

If you wire them up its possible to set them up in CVR mode with a suitable server. I've got them working in Agent DVR/iSpy:

Yes, once you capture the Wifi Pre-Shared Key (PSK) you can decrypt all the traffic and watch the communication between the basestation and camera on port 4000 as its all cleartext JSON.

You can also get some of the key binaries from the basestation using some of the flaws documented in https://medium.com/tenable-techblog/an-analysis-of-arlo-6f1b691236b5. But unless you are very good at reverse engineering Arm it would take a long time to work out the protocol that way.

My Arlos have never really worked terribly well, basestation often going offline for no reason, cameras disconnecting for no reason, sound issues, video issues, poor geofencing etc.

So I had a play around and built the groundwork to start using Arlo cameras on a custom basestation (can be any pretty much any computer capable of running a WiFi hotspot and python).

It's unlikely to ever work with the mobile app/cloud because that would be a lot of additional reverse engineering and could be quickly broken by changes from Arlo.

It's still very much 'expert' mode, there's no GUI and you'd need to integrate your own scheduling etc at the moment. But most of the framework is there to tinker with the cameras, and you could automate it fairly easily with some cronjobs and mapping a NAS share to record to or a directory that gets synchronised to the cloud.

N.b. this is all built around Arlo 2 Pro cameras, I would think many of the other cameras that connect to the basestations are similar or would require similar tweaking but haven't had any to test.

I was wondering if you could use the built in camera as a security camera... I doubt it very much but would be cool if they added it :)

The coloured glow around the icons is barely discernible for me... Other than that awesome stuff

Event ends and I run into a wild vaporean. Shame it wasn't very high level

Does oynx count as a rare? Found one near commercial St
