@capsload2 You probably could. I've thought about doing that, but don't want to sift through changelogs and figure out if any critical security updates were made in recent versions.

Why the sudden increase in interest in this?

@samuelcolvin
Sorry, I couldn't find anywhere a solution to it so I posted a message about it not working, and I guess some people wondered the same thing while searching online.

I became a parent and we bought a Motorola monitor, and the Hubble app is still garbage 🤷‍♂️.
It's tolerable, but there's so much nonsense and poor UX with it that I'd prefer to make a minimalist one myself, basically just the video stream.
Controls for movement would be nice too but optional.

@rkdavidson
I bought a Foscam camera (FI9821P) that is configured for LAN/VPN-only access (considering their poor security track record). At least those have an RTSP stream available and the image quality is actually quite good even in night-mode.

Sucks that Hubble requires an Internet middle-man to work.

Any workarounds found? Is there anyway to get this to work via Tinycam Monitor and serve it that way?

Figuring out a way beyond the internet middleman services Hubble requires is beyond my skills :(.

I think a known route would be revert your camera's firmware to factory (or near it), to go back to the fairly insecure (i.e. open) setup outlined in this gist.

Motorola are real ****ards for this. Camera is useless without a paid subscription. Shame because that external antenna on my Focus 66 W was helpful when it worked. Would love to flash custom or original firmware.

I threw mine in the e-waste bin, not giving them a single penny.
