Find IP Cameras on Your Network

WINK LAN Camera Finder is a free network scanner that discovers IP cameras, NVRs, and DVRs on your local network. It uses ONVIF WS-Discovery, RTSP probing, UPnP/SSDP, mDNS, and HTTP fingerprinting to find devices that other tools miss. Available for Windows, macOS, and Linux.

How It Works

Enter your network range (like 192.168.1.0/24) and click scan. The tool uses multiple discovery methods to find cameras:

ONVIF
WS-Discovery
RTSP
Stream detection
UPnP/SSDP
Plug and Play
mDNS
Bonjour/Zeroconf
HTTP
Web interface scan
MAC Lookup
Vendor identification

Results include a confidence score to filter out servers, printers, and other non-camera devices.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I find my camera's IP address?

Enter your network range (e.g., 192.168.1.0/24) and click Start Scan. The tool scans every address in that range using multiple discovery methods and displays found cameras with their IP addresses, manufacturer, and open ports.

Is it really free?

Yes. No trial limits, no paid version, no registration required. Released under MIT license for personal and commercial use.

What camera brands are supported?

Any IP camera that uses standard protocols. This includes Hikvision, Dahua, Reolink, Axis, Uniview, Amcrest, Ubiquiti/UniFi, Foscam, Lorex, Swann, EZVIZ, Hanwha, Bosch, Panasonic, Vivotek, GeoVision, ACTi, Pelco, and many others. If it speaks ONVIF, RTSP, or has a web interface, we can find it.

Can it find cameras with non-default IPs?

Yes. The tool scans your entire specified network range, not just manufacturer default addresses. Multicast protocols like ONVIF WS-Discovery can find cameras regardless of their IP configuration.

What about cameras on different subnets or VLANs?

Multicast protocols (ONVIF, mDNS, UPnP) can discover cameras on other subnets if your network allows multicast routing. You can also enter multiple network ranges separated by commas to scan across VLANs.

How does the confidence score work?

Each discovered device gets a score from 0-100% based on how likely it is to be a camera. ONVIF responses add +95, RTSP streams add +85, camera manufacturer MACs add +15, etc. Devices that look like servers or printers get negative scores and are filtered out.

Does it require admin/root privileges?

No. The scanner uses standard network protocols that don't require elevated permissions. Just extract and run.

Can I export the results?

Yes. Export to CSV for spreadsheets or JSON for integration with other tools. The export includes IP addresses, manufacturers, open ports, and discovery details.

Is there a command-line version?

Yes. The same executable supports both GUI and CLI modes. Run with --help to see command-line options for scripting and automation.

Does it send data to the cloud?

No. All scanning happens locally on your network. The tool makes no external connections and collects no telemetry.
