A tool to locally capture your own Nest camera stream. You can read more about my approach in the recently published blog post. This approach supersedes the previous implementation that relied on the /get_image API and instead captures the H.264 stream directly through the Nest WebSocket service.
To get the project to work, edit camera_config.json.

Open foggycam.sln in Visual Studio and build the application. In the long run, I will make sure to make this easier and remove the need to use Visual Studio.
