<p>FYI I have just been playing with an aliexpress wifi camera that
I made the same assumption about, the documentation it came with
suggests you can only use it over the internet via the mobile app,
but it seems that quite often they're actually running a local
RTSP server. If that is the case for your camera, then once it's
on the wifi you can connect to it by discovering it's local IP
address (either by checking your router / dhcp server for new
devices or by scanning your network for devices listening on port
554)<br>
To test it you can connect with VLC (media -> open network
stream) using the url format rtsp://192.168.0.117:554 (replacing
the ip address with your cameras ip).<br>
I then blocked my camera's internet access using the router's
firewall so it didn't send it's stream off to whatever 3rd party
service and I access it using an android app called onvifer.</p>

folks...<br>
I have two brand new unused, outdoor security cameras, tested,
weatherproof, full colour and they give good night vision (Infra
red. They are for sale. <br>
<br>
They are in the original packaging.<br>
<br>
I will sell them for less than what I paid for them. About $75.00
per each, sold separately, or together.<br>
<br>
I purchased these two from Aliexpress two months ago but didn't
realise that these particular cameras talk to your mobile phone
(Very well, by the way!) via Wifi but not directly to my local
network IP network/ They were, <i>eventually</i>, to talk to my
own web site. That's MY tragic learning mistake in quite
enthusiastically buying the wrong type I needed. I'm happy to let
them go. Specifications and details on Google.<br>
<br>
Sold as a non-returnable sale, no warranty, but I can demonstrate
them to you. <br>
<br>
I cannot reasonably vouch for or determine the technical knowledge
or skills a buyer may or may not have. Therefore, I cannot afford
to risk any buyer damage, give repairs or provide any replacement,
second hand, for the <i>next</i> buyer if and when they were
returned. As is, where is, NO returns.<br>
