Zosi C611 WIFI Cameras

The Zosi C611 is a cheap and simple IP camera that I use to keep an eye on the cats while out of the house. Unfortunately to set up these cameras an app with an account is required, this is not only annoying but it also puts an artificial lifespan on the cameras as the app is likely to not to be supported forever.

Fortunately the app can be bypassed entirely, to connect the camera to your network you need only to generate a QR code of text in the following format.

sid=“yourNetworkSSID”;psk=YourPassword

 When powering up the camera display the QR code to the camera and it will go through a connection process. Once connected a video stream can be found at:

rtsp://[cameraIP]:554/video1

 That's it, though these cameras are discontinued this bypass will likely work on other Zosi models.
