Need some help with a camera wifi connection
« on: January 19, 2016, 01:26:01 am »
Hello all, I am coming here as I really messed up and Dave said that this is the best place to find help. I purchased a "Sky Viper Video Streaming drone" (around $100 US) so not a real loss. We had fun with it, but the problem I have is it requires a smart phone or tablet to download the app and capture videos. Only my Wife and Daughter have these devices, I only have a laptop. So every time I wanted to "play" I had to enlist one f them, and they don't want to come out in the cold. I got to looking on the internet about connecting a go-pro camera to a laptop and capturing video to VLC player. Great! I found I could connect to the camera with the laptop via (192.168.1.1) and get in with a login of "admin". I was able to see the video but had a 1 second refresh rate, not streaming. Now for the oops, It was complaining about ActiveX and I thought I was adjusting those settings, but I received a message that the camera was re-setting and not to power-down, so I didn't. I then lost the wifi connection and now nothing. I tried removing power for 30 minuets and powering up, nothing. So my question here, am I screwed? I have already committed to purchasing another one of these as they are fun, even without the camera, but I would like to try and get this one back.
I am able to open it up if needed, I already have but not much inside (was hopeing for a re-set button)
Yea I'm a nube, but I think I got close, but no dice. Here are some pictures.

Guess I'll go get a new quad copter, no hope for resurrecting the wifi in this. Here are a couple internal pictures for those interested.
