drift Ghost X Wi-Fi interaction (copying media files, accessing live video stream)

Here's some information about interactiong with your drift Ghost X camera via Wi-Fi

So, when you turn on a Wi-Fi on the camera, it creates a hotspot and becomes avaiable at 192.168.42.1. You can access the camera's terminal via telnet (using root username):

telnet 192.168.42.1

Getting media

Your videos and photos are located in /var/www/DCIM/100MEDIA.

To copy those videos and photos you can use the HTTP enpoint, served by the camera (knowing filepathes):

wget http://192.168.42.1/var/www/DCIM/100MEDIA/VID00001.mp4

drift Ghost X also supports streaming live video (in bad quality, just as preview). The stream is available at tcp://192.168.42.1:8001. If using VLC media player, you need to add :demux=h264 parameter.
