IoT Camera HUB

Quick guide to set up the SSL certificate and connect cameras from the browser.

Set up primary certificate (SSL)

First time

  1. Install the app on the primary phone.
  2. Open the app and note the IP/port it shows (default 5173).
  3. Download the CA from the primary phone (not installed yet, so use -k).
PRINCIPAL_IP=192.168.121.59
curl -4sk -u user:PhotoSh0t "https://$PRINCIPAL_IP:5173/cert/export/ca.pem" --output iot-camera-hub-principal.pem
  1. Install the CA on your system (for example on Linux).
sudo install -Dm644 iot-camera-hub-principal.pem /etc/ca-certificates/trust-source/anchors/iot-camera-hub-principal.pem
sudo update-ca-trust
  1. Once installed, the primary terminal server is already secure on your computer.
  2. Download the "primary" certificate configuration and store it safely; this way you won't need to update your PC again and can use the same certificate for all devices.
curl -4s -u user:PhotoSh0t "https://$PRINCIPAL_IP:5173/cert/export/ca.json" --output iot-camera-hub-cert-config.json
  1. Open the browser and go to; if it loads correctly and the certificate is secure, you are ready to add more terminals:
https://192.168.121.59:5173/web/

New installations

If you reinstall or reset data or add new terminals to the HUB, to load the same certificate, upload the configuration you downloaded from the "primary" terminal the first time. 

SECUNDARIO_IP=192.168.121.60
curl -4sk -X POST -u user:PhotoSh0t --data-binary @iot-camera-hub-cert-config.json "https://$SECUNDARIO_IP:5173/cert/import"

Configure camera

Open camera
Tap the "camera" icon to open the camera picker.
Enter password
Enter the password (default PhotoSh0t).
Auth OK
After setting Auth OK you can choose which camera to take images from (a terminal can use only one camera at a time).
Add camera
Tap the "Add" button and make sure the device has the app in the foreground and the "Live" tab active, or it will return ERROR 500.
Camera added
You will have added your first camera to the panel.
Multiple cameras
You can add as many cameras as you want the same way.

After configuring the cameras, press the SAVE button to store the configuration in your browser.
