I wanted to integrate the camera into my home security system. The only problem is that I want to toggle the alarm of the camera based on the security system status. Currently, this is only available via the app or a time trigger which is booth not sufficient for me. So the main target was to change the alarm status without the app.
My first try was to capture the TCP packages between the Android app and the camera. Soon I realized that they are only TCP+SSL (not pinned) requests to a cloud service of Hikam. So I installed an emulator with the Hikam app and Wireshark. I've seen some packages but the payload is very strange and even if I send the UDP commands again the status won't change. So this was a dead end for me.
