I don't know much about Nests, but does simply being on the same wifi allow you to see what the camera sees? I thought they uploaded stuff to the cloud (I assume over https) so you would have to compromise the cloud account to see anything.
- mdani 10y agoI have a Nest camera. You're right, being in same VLAN does not give you access to video feed (at least via http). You need to view it online from their cloud.
- robryk 10y agoCan you check if it is uploading a fixed or variable bitrate video? (Ie. does the bitrate change if there's no activity within the camera's FOV?)
- toomuchtodo 10y agoYes, the bit rate changes based on how much motion is in the cameras field of view. It maxes out at about 1.5Mbps (1080p high motion)
- angry_octet 10y agoSomehow having to access it from a Nest server, and hence have it be copied by Nest, does not inspire confidence. I'd be much more worried about someone looking at me via Nest than a burglar subverting my Nest camera.
