I found this the other day, wondering if my knockoff sports cam's protocol (which I reverse engineered) was compatible with GoPro's. It seems that the GoPro protocol is different, but my suspicion is that the protocol has changed, and the SoC that my camera is using was compatible with an earlier one.

GoPro has their own API calls different from Amba A7 and other cheap cams (they don't stream to rtsp). Which camera is it?

APEMAN A80 (or something like that). It uses a Novatek SoC, which I figured was a clone of the Amba, which as I understand it GoPro used to use, but no longer does. Did I get it right? The device does have real-time streaming capabilities that I used but I didn't investigate the protocol.

Try using the standard ChinaPro RTSP URIs:
- rtsp://192.168.42.1/live
- rtsp://192.168.1.1:554/MJPG?W=720&H=400&Q=50&BR=5000000/track1
Their app is https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zsbrother...., and I bet they left some port open other than 80/8080
GoPro hires developers who make their WiFi API from the ground up (they used to stream using HLS, now they use UDP).

All of my device's services are on 192.168.1.254. The app CamKing which speaks the protocol has a string in it that references rtsp:// but I've never tried. I have a blog post on the device in the queue, waiting for a time-lapse video to finish...
