    does the app needed to control this camera have English or only Chinese? TIA

      Mi Home app is in English. There is some Chinese in the notifications, maybe some other areas, but the important things have English as well.

    • zfa on 06/09/2017 - 19:22

      On the offchance you're being serious, install the Xiaofang hack and disable cloud access, then run them into something like a Blueiris install, or tinyCam monitor (pro) on Android.

      • shapers on 06/09/2017 - 19:42

        The Xiaofang hack doesnt look too secure to me either, seems pretty easy for anyone with network access to view them. Unless ive missed an option to enable a password or anything?

        • zfa on 06/09/2017 - 19:48
          +4

          I think I saw on the github that you can password protect the rstp stream but the web interface is open yes. Ideally you'd put them on their own VLAN or otherwise firewall them off from your other devices if you're worried about them being looked at.

          If you are wanting a secure way to view remotely rather than lock down locally then what I do is I have them configured on an old Android tablet running tinycam monitor pro. This is the device I have knocking about to generally watch the feeds. However tinycam monitor pro also has a web interface (password protected) where you can view your cams. Using this web interface is a nice way to combine multiple cameras and view in a browser (otherwise you'd need some kind of app or proxy somewhere to convert the rstp output of the cams into something a browser can stream). You can naturally port-forward to tinycam for secure access to the feeds when away from home without worrying about the fact that Xiaofang isn't the most secure natively.

        • IdBuyThat4aDollar on 06/09/2017 - 19:59
          +2

          Yep no rtsp authentication, which means if you port forward to access remotely, the stream can be accessed without a username and password.

          Hopefully there will be another release with the rtsp authentication included in the hack. I have seen on the github issue tracker that some people have gotten it to work themselves.

        • zfa on 06/09/2017 - 20:06

          If you don't want to mess around with the rstp bin to get password support etc. there is of course also the option of using a random string as the camera's feed path instead of just the stock '/unicast' URL.

          Sure, it's not secure against someone inspecting your network whilst you have a stream open, and a lot of people don't like the old security-through-obscurity, but it'd work well enough INTERNALLY in a casual home environment for me. I don't think the firmware is mature enough to be directly opened up to the internet at large in any case, which is why I use tinycam as a middle man (see previous post).

        • furythree on 07/09/2017 - 00:28

          @zfa: oh awesome this is essentially what i want anyway (monitor via phone on the go and display multiple feeds via browser when at home). with the tinycam method, does it require you to somehow block the cameras from the outside world?
          I get the bit about how you can portforward into tiny cam, but wouldnt the cameras still be open unless you blocked them somehow? im not sure what the setup process is for these cameras

          is it hard to setup the vlan or firewall process? all i want is to be able to view at home and on the go, but not let anyone else see without a password. i wish xiaomi would improve their software cause they could kill the market with these little things

        • zfa on 07/09/2017 - 07:32

          @furythree:

          You won't need to block the cameras themselves from the outside world if you only open your access to tinycam Monitor pro. No one can connect to them form outside your network without you explicitly doing something to enable it.

          If you're only using these devices then the Mi Home app itself is quite acceptable for external viewing if you ask me. However if you don't like the thought of viewing via a Chinese app or have other reasons to use something else then installing Xiaofang hacks and using the tinycam monitor (along with password protecting the web interface) method should be fine for most people.

        • furythree on 07/09/2017 - 15:41

          @zfa: oh so all the worried comments about chinese spying and shitty app is all based around the mi home app? (which i hate)

          i used to have the xiaomi antscam/drop camera but it stopped working one day for no reason. i heard it was some firmware brick blocking intl users. but when it was working i used it via rstp/vlc cause i hated the app so much

          i now have one of those RGB yee lights, if there was a way to control the lights and the cameras all via one single point that would be much better

          But glad to hear fang hacks and tiny cam is all i need to do. So no need for VLan or firewall at all?

          the main thing is that i only use it 99% on the local network, so i dont want it to be constantly uploading data to the cloud unless i specifically want it to. does the tinycam method allow this?

        • zfa on 07/09/2017 - 19:19

          @furythree:

          Yep, furore is all about 'video being sent to China' because of the Xiaomi cloud integration (though if they want to keep an eye on my shed, or make sure my lad is still asleep then they're welcome to…).

          But you're right -there's need for VLAN or anything other than your normal wifi router protection if you're mainly using it internally unless you have devices on your home network you don't want able to see the output. That's highly unlikely no matter how big a deal is made of the streams not being password protected. I'd say you're fine - get one, apply the hacks, via rstp stream via VLC or one of the Androis/iOS camera apps.

        • Huntz on 10/09/2017 - 23:15
          +3

          Using the method described by "zfa" seems the best option.
          As an added home security, you could you put these cams on on a completely separate WiFi via zoning or an independent WiFi switch than the rest of your home/guest users!

        • UFO on 13/09/2017 - 23:50

          @Huntz:

          Yep, that's how I have it all set up… a completely separate network for the security cameras. That way the wifi device and and its attached storage is stored hidden away from the study, where all the other network items are. Someone breaks in thinking they've got the video storage they can see, when really they haven't got crap :).

        • Hornpub on 14/09/2017 - 00:23

      • R3XNebular on 06/09/2017 - 22:34

        Hmmm might just stick to the Mi Home app if both aren't that secure. Any links where the feeds are actually being spied on by someone? or is it more the possibility since the data is being sent to China.

        • zfa on 07/09/2017 - 07:28
          +1

          Don't think there's been any evidence of this, just paranoia… I'd be just as happy to use the Mi Home app as I was the Swann Cloud app, say, myself.

    Received mine today. Is there a trick to getting it working?

    Installed the Mi Home app and press the Setup button, choose my wifi and enter the password in the app and it generates a QR code. Scan it with the camera and it says something in Chinese then says something else again after a minute or two. I then hit the Heard "Scanned Successfully" button and it gets to 90% then says Connection Timed Out.

    • tessel on 13/09/2017 - 20:56

      They can be tricky. First, make sure your phone and the camera are connected to the same wifi network. Next, make sure you manually type in the wifi password even though the password field may be prepopulated. Next, try setting the router to WPA or WPA2 and possibly check that TKIP and AES security on your router are enabled if still having trouble. Most of my issues came from the password being wrong even though it was prepopulated.
