This will show you how to use your Gopro Hero 3 as an IP camera WITH sound.

You will need your Gopro and a computer with wifi connectivity.

You will also need VLC Media Player.

Assuming you have updated your camera as per the instructions on the Gopro website and created your Wifi passwords while doing this, you should have all you need.

The video is 432 x 240 at 47.9 fps. There is a 3 second delay.

The audio is stereo at 48000 Hz

With that, lets begin.

Connecting to the Camera

Switch on the Gopro and go into the settings icon, then wireless controls then select Gopro App. A wifi icon will appear for a few seconds, the wifi light will begin flashing and the camera will enter video mode.

If you are using Windows 7, Click on your wireless icon in the taskbar and select the name that is your camera. Once you select it, enter the password you created and set it as a home network.

Getting the Stream in VLC

Open VLC Media Player, then select "media", then "Open Network Stream".
Copy in this address:

http://10.5.5.9:8080/live/amba.m3u8

Click on Play and the video will show. If the video shows for only a second, try again.

The camera actually has its own home page.

The page has Ambarella at the top so that must be the company who manufactures the systems in the Gopro.
There is also a list of options that don't do much.
