Netgear Arlo Pro 2 - Compat

[axwack]

Hi All,

My friend told me about this site after I purchased the Arlo 2's. I also threw away my boxes.

someone reverse engineered the REST calls but I would prefer more flexibility with this system. I don't want to sell back my cams (they are well designed and 1080p). Does anyone know if this API is compatible with ZoneMinder?

Interesting - been reading https://github.com/jeffreydwalter/arlo with interest. It looks like Arlo offers an RTSPS (note S) stream for devices that don't support RTMPS. They found this out by setting their User Agent to an Iphone device

I don't have an Arlo, but bottom line is you need to authenticate yourself with the device and call its streaming function within 30 seconds and boom you have an RTSPS stream that FFPMEG (and therefore likely ZM) can read.

Ideally, someone should write an adapter to support this process directly into ZM (OAuth followed by get stream). Till then, you can run this library (they have an example streaming code), have it save to disk and create a new ZM camera that picks up from the saved files
