(NEWBE) Capturing video from action camera

First time user here. I'm trying to understand communication between a wifi enabled action camera and an iPhone so that I can ultimately use a Raspberry Pi to access an image stream (and do other stuff). There's no documentation for the camera--just a phone app. I figured out how to intercept communication between the camera and the phone, but it was not what I expected. So when I start streaming video to the phone, there's some apparent handshaking...

...and then the presumed video frames get interpreted as a SKYPE protocol...

210 12.111497 192.168.100.1 192.168.100.103 SKYPE 1036 Fragment/Forward/Resend

Can anyone tell me if there is hope for being able to emulate the phone with an RPi. If so, what should I do next?

The capture session is posted here: https://osf.io/3bpc8/

I would attach my capture session but I don't have any user points for this site. The phone has IP address 192.168.100.103 and the camera is 192.168.100.1

Thanks for any help.
