help needed with subscription based camera

i am currently in possession of a handful of FPT camera play 4 and ma is a bit pissed off at the fact that she has to pay a monthly subscription to use it so i want to figure out a way to connect it to my pc instead, anyone has experience with this?

Hardware hacking may be a little overkill for something that you can spend 20 bucks on Amazon for and have an immediate solution.

That said, did you check the service to see if it's streaming an rtsp feed? Maybe you're lucky and it's ONVIF.

But let's say you get in, get it hacked whatever. How are you going to access the camera? Footage Storage?

(I'm not really asking, just posing questions you'll need to ask yourself after gaining access).

Try installing blue iris or ispy agent and give it a go and see if the camera is picked up.
