 ====== Insta360: WiFi protocol reverse engineering ======
-I purchased an **Insta360 ONE RS** action camera in June 2023, I'm rather satisfied by its performances, but I'm really disappointed by the accompanying Android app. The app (version 1.40.1) is a monster download of **676 Mb**, once installed it requires more than 1 Gb of storage. It is rather invasive about permissions request because it wants access to the camera (the phone's camera!), contacts, microphone and phone. Once started it is totally **social oriented**, presenting me **blatantly useless info** about what other people does with their cameras.
+Get the open source software from the **[[https://github.com/RigacciOrg/insta360-wifi-api/|RigacciOrg/insta360-wifi-api]]** GitHub repository.

 **What I need is a simple remote control** for my action camera, not another invasive and useless social network. Beside that, the app doesn't work on my phone; maybe because the hardware specs are not at the cutting edge of techonolgy (but neverthless my phone has 4 Gb of RAM and a 4 cores MediaTek Helio A22 SoC), whenever I tap the icon to start the live view the app crashes. So the basic function of remote controlo does not work.

+===== The Insta360 Python remote program =====
+On the **[[https://github.com/RigacciOrg/insta360-wifi-api/|insta360-wifi-api GitHub repository]]** you can find a Python library which implements basic communication with the Insta360 camera over WiFi connection. There is also an example Python program with the basic functionality of **remote control**. You can easily run it from a PC with GNU/Linux, but you can also install the required Python language and libraries in MS-Windows and even on Android. I run that program on my smartphone, it just required to install the **[[https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.termux/|Termux]]** app.
