I'm not aware if there are any talks with Raspberry Pi team. But
MrDave has created an issue in motion's github:

Thank you Henk and David for your answer.
This is the output of a scan on port 554:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
giampy@BOS-DNLP:~$ sudo nmap -p 554 192.168.1.101
[sudo] password for giampy:
Starting Nmap 7.80 ( https://nmap.org ) at 2021-11-16 15:26 EST
Nmap scan report for 192.168.1.101
Host is up (0.095s latency).
PORT STATE SERVICE
554/tcp closed rtsp
MAC Address: B8:0C:0A:0C:01:CF (Unknown)
Nmap done: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 0.56 seconds
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
indeed trying rtsp:// in a browser opens a video app saying that it cannot
connect to the resource.
I have tried the following (in a browser only) but it cannot connect either.
http:/<IPAddress>/webcapture.jpg?user=admin&password=<Password>&command=snap&chanel=1
In the mean time, the camera looks exactly like this one:
https://www.centralspyshop.com/video-surveillance-equipment/spy-covert-video-nanny-cameras/spy-cameras-recorders-dvr/dual-port-usb-mac-apple-charger-covert-camera.html
so maybe i can find more info on supported formats (it does say it supports
H.264, tough i do not think there is any SD card).
I am going to try ONVIF device manager or Onvir later.
By the way, the camera has a built in motion detection system (see attached
images) that maybe, just maybe can be also be used.
Do you know how these cameras are supposed to work with their apps? I guess
when they detect motion they record a video somewhere in the filesystem and
then the app accesses the filesystem (presumably through port 80?) to
collect the video? Any idea?
Thanks for your thoughts, as usual.
