Two way audio support? #6

Is there an API to use the speaker on the Arlo Q?

tchellomello commented 7 years ago

Hello @ryanwinter. Arlo does not offer an API.

I think we can implement it thru reverse engineering. Currently, I don't have an Arlo Q but please feel to contribute to project.

Thanks tchellomello,

I did purchase a couple of Arlo Q, and am actually working on a Windows 10 app based on the API you have discovered. If i figure out the audio mode, I will definitly feed this back.

Just wondering, what method did you use to reverse engineer the interface so far?

tchellomello commented 7 years ago

@ryanwinter nice. I used mitmproxy to see the requests and also using your browser on development tools you can see objects expected on each request.

Another alternative is to install android on KVM (http://www.android-x86.org/) and then via mitmproxy to inspect its communication

great, I'll keep working throught things. I'm surprised netgear isnt using an encrypted connection...
