Vsysto Motorcycle Dashcam Web Browser

By default, the camera creates its own WiFi network to which you connect from your mobile phone using a mobile app. I found this inconvenient for several reasons: 1) downloading huge files to a mobile phone is not practical; 2) I want to download them to my computer for video editing and post-processing.

Instead, using this script, you can configure your camera to connect to your home WiFi network and then play or download files directly to your Mac or PC using your web browser.

Configure your Camera

In order to configure your camera, you need to connect to it from your laptop or mobile phone and open series of URL’s configuring it to access your local WiFi network. Assuming your WiFi have SSID mynet and WPA-PSK password mypass perform the following steps:

1. http://192.72.1.1/cgi-bin/Config.cgi?action=set&property=Net.WIFI_STA.AP.1.SSID&value=mynet
2. http://192.72.1.1/cgi-bin/Config.cgi?action=set&property=Net.WIFI_STA.AP.1.CryptoKey&value=mypass
3. http://192.72.1.1/cgi-bin/Config.cgi?action=set&property=Net.WIFI_STA.AP.1.EncType&value=AES
4. http://192.72.1.1/cgi-bin/Config.cgi?action=set&property=Net.Dev.2.Start&value=1
5. http://192.72.1.1/cgi-bin/Config.cgi?action=set&property=Net.Dev.1.Start&value=0
6. http://192.72.1.1/cgi-bin/Config.cgi?action=set&property=Net&value=reset

(after the last step camera will restart and should connect to your WiFi)
