Hi!

I own a Thinkware U1000 but was interested if anyone has a wi-fi API for it (I just need it to automatically pull event videos only, not all regular ones). I currently do this for this unbranded dashcam I have, and it works fine since it uses a Novatek API.
I also own a Viofo A139 3CH and doing that for it also works fine (battery is still not drained, I drive daily so not a problem).

I found the APIs for other cameras by sniffing packets of the android app & for Viofo, the API is available on the Novatek (the processor) wifi api pdf manual, but the thinkware app is not able to find the camera as soon as I start sniffing (since my sniffing app creates a local VPN and thinkware cannot work with that I suppose). It would be more annoying to try and use Wireshark for this so if anyone has an API that would be good?

I connected my U1000 to my wifi router as a "hotspot". So basically whenever I pull into my driveway, it says "wifi connected" and when I turn off the car, the wifi light is turned off, but somehow, I am still able to PING the camera and it shows up as a network device in my router. So I suppose camera is still working with its Wifi even in park mode! Correct? So I just need an API/commands/directory on how I can retrieve event files.
 
Sometimes can help to decompile the mobile app and deep-dive into files. I found multiple things like that. :)

Do you have a decent decompiler? The ones I try just give me junk or either have weird files. Did your decompiler give you proper java/kotlin source code or was it the one that gave variables random name and it was all random?

Depends on the compiler.., sometimes you need to try more decompilers. To be honest, most of the times I use some online scripts because I hate installing random programs with possible zero result. :ROFLMAO: Then I use tools like Uret Android Reverser Toolkit and JD-GUI.
 
Close the thread. I've solved the issue. I just automated the Thinkware App. Used a root bluestack running every 24 hours. Used Tasker automation clicks to download footage and upload to Gdrive.
Solved.

Not as pretty as I did with my other cameras, but Thinkware exposes no servers (that are not encrypted) so this solution works.
Thanks Nath.
