The camera sends regular heartbeat messages to the Hubble server, informing it of the camera’s external (WAN) IP address and the UDP port that it is listening for messages on. The traditional way of enabling inbound connections through a NAT router is via the STUN (Session Traversal Utilities for NAT) protocol. In order to send this command on to the camera the Hubble server needs a way of locating it on the Internet and the ability to create an inbound connection through the firewall of whatever network the camera is linked to. The mobile app signals to the Hubble server that it wishes to initiate a streaming video session. The real-time video aspect is slightly more complicated. It does this through a combination of a TLS protected REST API for commands and alerts and a connection to a streaming video server for real-time video. Once configured the app communicates indirectly with the camera via the Hubble cloud service. A cursory examination of these provide insight into a previous incarnation of this hardware as a baby monitor (pre-Hubble). This HTTP Authentication appears to be legacy and is not used a situation which we found to be fairly common on this device, for example there are many legacy webpages on the camera (some which were written for the MBP2000W), like /routersetup.html.

The query string is a curious concatenation of the lengths of the SSID, PSK, username and password followed by the fields themselves - worthy of a point for originality. Once selected, you must enter your private Wi-Fi security key which is then broadcasted unencrypted over the open network accompanied with some basic HTTP Authentication in the form of username ‘camera’ and password ‘000000’. When the app associates with this open access point it issues requests to the nuvoton web server to perform a wireless scan of visible networks using the Linux iwlist command, the results of which are returned to the app as XML so you can pick your network from a list.

This is an alarming feature for a camera designed for outdoor use particularly as the camera also offers a host of unfiltered network services, including the network video feed (RTSP), a bespoke internal messaging service for initiating alerts and two distinct web servers (nuvoton and busybox), one of which has an undocumented firmware upgrade page. The app then scans for this network which is typically called CameraHD-(MAC address) and prompts the user to connect to it. The Setupĭuring setup the app instructs the user to either plug in an Ethernet cable or press the ‘pair’ button on the camera which causes the camera to switch to host mode and offer up an open (aka insecure) wireless network. The app is also the only ‘official’ method of provisioning a camera and supports many more models of IP cameras beyond the Focus 73 through the use of a standard API. The app is the portal to your cameras, all of which are associated with a Hubble account.

The corresponding Hubble mobile app is available for free from the usual app stores for this research we used the Android app from the Google Play store. The LED is always on whilst the camera is working/observing and pulses on and off when streaming video to a remote server or processing a movement alert. Network connectivity is provided through either 802.11 or wired Ethernet with the latter taking precedence.Īn LED above the lens gives a clue to system status and can be controlled via a bespoke command.
