GrowCam PC v1.0.0

GrowCam PC 1.0.0

GrowCam PC 1.0.0 is the first stable release of the local desktop/browser viewer for the VIVOSUN GrowCam C4.

Highlights

• Watch the local RTSP feed, capture snapshots, and opt into live audio.
• Browse a full day of microSD recordings on a 24-hour rewind timeline, select shorter windows, and continue across adjacent footage.
• Inspect the camera's reserved time-lapse partition, preview completed or in-progress captures, and manage the native time-lapse schedule with guarded writes.
• Browse, preview, and safely download ordinary recordings, snapshots, and time-lapse files.
• Use a responsive tabbed dashboard with persistent cache, rewind, continuation, and HEVC/H.264 settings.

Safer first-run behavior

• The camera address must be supplied with --host or GROWCAM_HOST; the package contains no developer-LAN default.
• Camera-local RTSP/DVRIP credentials are separate from the VIVOSUN cloud login. The tested firmware defaults to admin with a blank local password.
• If DVRIP controls cannot log in, the working RTSP view remains available in Live feed only mode while storage-dependent features are clearly marked unavailable.
• DVRIP errors now explain common return codes, including Ret=205 account lockout. Stop guessing credentials; a factory reset clears camera settings and requires VIVOSUN app pairing again.

Install and start

Requires Python 3.11 or newer and FFmpeg.

uv tool install growcam-pc==1.0.0
growcam --host 192.168.1.50 web

pipx install growcam-pc==1.0.0 is an equivalent isolated install. Replace the example address with the camera's LAN address.

See the GrowCam C4 setup guide for pairing, credentials, storage layout, and reset recovery.

Verification

The release passed Ruff, mypy, Pyright, pytest (145 tests with branch coverage), package validation, documentation/link/security checks, and installed-command smoke tests on Windows, macOS, and Ubuntu with Python 3.11 through 3.14. The GitHub and PyPI wheel/sdist digests match.
