  • QuestionDoes the SWWHD-FLOCAMW-US model support rtsp or onvif streaming? Can I view the video stream on local network with a VLC viewer?

    Asked by d4b2.

    • Answer Yes, rtsp is functional as of time of writing. It's not mentioned in the manual. Address is rtsp://admin:[email protected]:8282 If there's a way to change the password, I haven't found it. Initial setup requires use of the mobile app with all permissions enabled and GPS on. No official desktop software. After setup you won't need the mobile app. I feel like I'm taking a gamble here. It's possible a future firmware update could be pushed to disable the workaround. Perhaps a Swann rep can comment to this effect. If and when that occurs, I'll be very unhappy as I depend on this video stream.
