How can I reverse engineer the video stream URL by looking at the network interface/traffic?

I have a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FT6, which has a "wifi mode". I have the iOS Panasonic Image App. I can setup a HTTP Proxy between the two (using Charles) and see the communication. I can see some "UDP 17" traffic between the iPhone by watching the interface via the method How do you monitor network traffic on the iPhone? using Wireshark.

My end goal is to enter a stream URL in VLC and see the video stream.

Unfortunately there is no open source information on this that I can see.

  • What is the protocol most likely to be (for a consumer camera)?
  • What traits can I look for?
  • Are there any obvious URLs worth trying?

  • You see HTTP traffic? Or do you see UDP traffic? HTTP doesn't run over UDP. Can you post a look to the packet capture? – Brad May 18 '17 at 05:20
  • When monitoring the network connection I captured UDP packets which I assume were the video stream - unrelated to the HTTP capture, which was some REST XML API by the looks of things. Will test again and share. – Simon May 18 '17 at 14:42
