Since insta360 doesn't offer the possibility to get the livestream with a computer without a cell phone in between I reverse engineered the apk (v1.18.2), found the port 6666, then analyzed a tcpdump of my cell phone and the camera and rebuilt the tcp communication to get the livestream of the camera.
Search for a Wi-Fi station with the name of “ONE R XXXXX”, and connect to the Wi-Fi with the password of 88888888. App version 1.7.1 offers the possibility to set the language to Indonesia and thus limit the wifi to 2.4GHz
The livestream is HEVC/H.265 encoded, has a resolution of 1440x720 pixels at 30 FPS and is in dual fisheye format.
