Gigaset Cameras

[acs-lux]

Hi. This is a great add-on. Is there any more info you can give for accessing the camera video locally? The documentation says details need to be in a config file but which details, how and what config file? Would be the icing on the cake to be able to get a live video from my cam in hassio. Many thanks for your work.

Hi,

I don't have Gigaset camaras, so I can't help with the configuration.

However I can help with the confusion about the config file. Seems like you are using the gigaset elements proxy as an add-on in hassio.

In this case the configuration is done directly in the add-on section (in the Configuration tab). So you don't need to find that config file (which you would need to find if you used install option 2 or 3).

Hello,

The (brief) instructions are in that config file : https://github.com/ycardon/gigaset-elements-proxy/blob/master/config/default.yaml

# camera id (found with /api/v1/me/cameras)
camera_id: 'xxxx'

# camera local IP (used for local streaming)
camera_ip: 'xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx'

# camera local password
# $> echo –n "LUCKOTVF<MAC-address-reverse-order-uppercase-nocolon>YCAMVF" | base64
# or discover it by sniffing your network while changing your camera config in the mobile app:
# $> ssh <router> "tcpdump -i lbr0 -s0 -w - host <camera_ip>" | wireshark -k -i -
camera_password: '****'

I broke my camera so I hope it still works... The camera password is hardcoded with the Mac address of you camera.

for instance, if your mac address is ab:cd:ef:gh:ij then the password is

• either LUCKOTVFJIHGFEDCBAYCAMVF
• or LUCKOTVFIJGHEFCDABYCAMVF (I don't remember)

Then you have to encode it in Base64

Hi,Ok many thanks. So this is how its configured in the hassio haddon?I'll give it a go and let you know how I get on.

Hi. I tried both ways. VLC wont open either the local or remote live views. Links dont open anything and browser gives an error. What am I missing? How did you actually view the video?

I put everything in the config and restarted the add on. No errors in the log.

I've checked back in the code

https://github.com/ycardon/gigaset-elements-proxy/blob/3b30e3077ff3c05da6fa9e1692d076c44f32f662/src/web-server.ts#L16-L31

You've got (at least, "you had" when I coded it) two options to get camera stream:

• /live which get it from the Gigaset server

  • there you need your normal Gigaset user and password + your camera device id
  • it is returning a RTSP stream : you can copy the returned URL in VLC for instance

• /live-local witch get the stream from your local network

  • there you need your camera password computed with the mac address, as stated in this vulnerability audit)
  • it is an mjpeg stream that you should be able to open inside your browser.

To test the second one, you can just call the following url in your browser:

http://admin:<CAM_PASSWORD>@<CAM_IP>/stream.jpg

If it's not working, that means that Gigaset have fixed the vulnerability (which is a good thing)

Perfect, local works for me but not live from gigaset server. I'm a happy man now.

@acs-lux Is it still working for you? I've tried all possible combinations but I just can't access local stream...

My camera died. I use Tp-Lnk c200 now.
