Understand the specs of video camera firmware

I have a low-end Sony camera (handycam) that can stream Wi-Fi to a smartphone. When maker's proprietary free app 'Imaging Edge Mobile' is installed and used, video can be received through Wi-Fi and displayed on phone. (I use Android, I think the app is available for iphone too) I would like to develop an app that does exactly the same thing - receive video data via Wi-Fi, but from what I searched, the maker does not provide any documentation about how camera does that. What I need is the following: - How commands should be sent to the camera (e.g. cgi / http, port number, websocket) - Some basic commands, like Start / Stop stream - The port used by camera to stream the video data - The type of video data - it seems it's not standard mjpeg. If it's raw, what are the specifications? - Related documentation (if available) You can easily install the app from Google Play, however I am not sure if it's useful if you don't have a Sony camera. Any option is fine to get the required information, but it may not be possible unless reverse engineering the app. ++++Deliverables:++++ The information mentioned above (no app development required) _____________________________________________________________ Tags: reverse engineering, back engineering, embedded software, firmware
