WINK LAN Camera Finder 1.1 Adds Device Classification and Six Discovery Protocols

ORLANDO, FL - February 5, 2026 - WINK Streaming today released WINK LAN Camera Finder 1.1, a major update to its free network camera discovery tool. The new version introduces automatic device type classification, smart filtering, and enhanced discovery using six different protocols. The tool now scans 90+ ports and includes a database of 75,000+ MAC vendor codes for instant manufacturer identification.

            What's New in Version 1.1
            Device Type Classification: Automatically categorizes discovered devices as Camera, NVR/DVR, Server, Network Device, IoT, Printer, or Storage
Smart Filtering: Filter results by device type - Cameras Only, Cameras + NVR/DVR, All Network Devices, or High Confidence (60%+)
Enhanced Discovery: Improved SSDP, mDNS, and SNMP protocols find more devices with greater accuracy
Default IP Scanning: Automatically scans manufacturer default IPs (Hikvision 192.168.1.64, Dahua 192.168.1.108, Reolink 192.168.1.100, and 20+ more)
RTMP and Reolink Detection: New port scanning for RTMP (1935) and Reolink proprietary protocol (9000/9001)
MJPEG Stream Detection: Automatic detection of MJPEG endpoints

        

Six Discovery Protocols

Version 1.1 uses six different discovery methods to ensure no camera goes undetected:

ONVIF WS-Discovery Industry standard

UPnP/SSDP Plug and Play

mDNS/Bonjour Zero-config

RTSP Detection Stream probing

SNMP Discovery Network devices

HTTP Fingerprinting Web interface

Device Type Classification

The new classification system automatically identifies and color-codes devices based on detected characteristics:

Camera NVR/DVR Server Network IoT

Classification uses a weighted scoring algorithm that considers open ports, MAC vendor, web interface content, and protocol responses to accurately categorize each device.

Smart Confidence Scoring

The confidence scoring system separates real cameras from false positives by analyzing multiple indicators:

Finding	Score Impact
ONVIF WS-Discovery response	+95
RTSP stream on port 554	+85
RTSP on non-standard port	+70
Camera API port (Hikvision 8000, Dahua 37777)	+40
Known camera MAC vendor	+15
Server software detected (nginx, Apache)	-50
Proxmox/virtualization platform	-100

Devices scoring below 20% are automatically filtered as likely false positives. The new filter dropdown allows users to adjust visibility based on confidence levels.

Deep Scan Mode

The enhanced Deep Scan mode now examines 90+ ports including manufacturer-specific APIs:

Web interfaces: 80, 443, 8080, 8443, 81-85, 8081-8091
RTSP streaming: 554, 5554, 8554, 10554
Hikvision: 8000 (SDK API)
Dahua/Reolink: 37777, 37778, 9000, 9001
XMEye/Generic: 34567, 34599
RTMP streaming: 1935

75,000+ MAC Vendors

The built-in MAC vendor database instantly identifies the hardware manufacturer from the device's MAC address, recognizing Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, Ubiquiti, Amcrest, Foscam, Lorex, Hanwha, Bosch, Panasonic, Vivotek, Uniview, and thousands more.
