If I had it set and never moved it, might be better, or if I had a more updated and newer DSLR that I could use my phone to check focus I might have kept using it, but I went through too many recording sessions that when I imported it into Adobe, found it was fuzzy or way out of focus. SO I said enough with that.

I was getting ready to do this, and then read this (just above the download link): Will RTSP continue to be developed? We don't have the resources to keep developing two branches of firmware for Wyze Cam v2 and Wyze Cam Pan. This means that the RTSP branch will be upgraded infrequently. Using the RTSP firmware will prevent the camera from supporting any future functionality additions, such as A.I. for Human/Animal/Vehicle recognition, event video tagging, further stability improvements, and bug fixes. The currently available firmware is an updated beta version. This contains improvements over the prior version, but still has potential to include minor stability issues. Once we're in a position where we can confidently say that any present issues have been fixed, we'll push out a release version of the firmware.

The Wyze cameras all connect through their app so no need for any centralized system. Just download the app and view them wherever you are.

Sure enough, I didn’t have internet, as verified by my computer loosing internet connection but still had my LOCAL network intact. I then powered up my phone and Wyze camera that I just flashed. I started up VLC on my phone and input the RTSP URL into “stream”....IT WORKS! I was able to view my Wyze cam feed ONLY through my local network with no internet but it did lag a little. I can only conclude that username, password, and IP address are stored on the camera itself.

So they set that limit to kinda give it a break or at least restart it to kinda refresh the stream.

A good CCTV system would be ones by either Reolink or AvertX makes really amazing ones as well. A dash cam, not really sure haven’t had great success with the ones I’ve tried so can’t help ya there.

Honestly the best and easiest way to record what goes on those cameras is just to put a microSD card inside.

rtsp wont accept the username and password? says needs to be 4 to 10 characters. even if i put more than 4 still says the same thing, cant get past that part. the rest of the setup went without a problem. got the rtsp option on the camera advanced settings go to it turn it on and then when asked to create username and password. it doesnt take the user or pass, just keeps saying more than 4 characters even when there is more than 4. any suggestions?

Sadly no, never had that issue. I’d suggest first resetting the camera, and putting Wyze main firmware back on. Update it all and then download the newest wyze app update, and then reset it up with the most updated rtsp firmware and go from there. If all else fails, contact Wyze, their support has been very helpful.

Wyze have removed the Beta Version so this does not work pending a final release of the RTSP load.

Yeah, you’d have to have a mobile device that supports their app. Or download Bluestacks on your computer and install the Wyze app through it.

How many cameras can this feature use at the same time?

@GrossTechnology

3 жыл бұрын

Well you can install it on as many as you’d like, but if you mean viewing multiple ones, that would depend on what software you are using to view the stream. If VLC like in my video it is only one at a time. But there are some that can view multiple RTSP streams at once.

Looking for how to view on an Apple/Mac

You can do it the same way through VLC. My wife uses it on her iMac the same setup and all. Just the Mac version of VLC.

i went to wyze site and the RTSP download is not there now

Might not be a complete solution, but I use Bluestacks, which is a free Android emulator, and then run the Wyze Cam app in it on my desktop.

Hey Joshua, I deleted my first two comments because I have become smarter since I watched your video. I now have set up my driveway cam with the RTSP and it works great. A bit choppy but I figure that won't matter. I can live with it. I DO want to say THANKS for your great and very detailed video tutorial. I'm waaay old and sometimes it takes a bit for me to grasp what exactly I am doing. I was trying to view the cam via my browser only but after reading and watching the video again, I had to install the video player software. Now, all is good with the world. I am going to be installing one more of the V2 cams and also one of the PAN cams. Is there a way to have all 3 open at one time on a single monitor? If you can expand on that, I'd be most grateful and humbled by your brilliance. Thanks again.

@GrossTechnology

Ray! Glad that you got it up and going! The only way to view more than one RTSP camera at a time is to have multiple windows open streaming each camera. Since you are viewing a specific camera, that would be the only way to use the RTSP to have all three open at the same time. You may find some software that is able to view multiple streams at the same time, that would work as well. But using VLC you'd have to open multiple windows.

Do you know if i can then use an ftp server to connect to the sd card this way at all?

No, sadly it only will go through their app, no other way without the RTSP to connect to it, but even then it only see's the feed, not access to the SD card.

Ha, yeah you are welcome! Unfortunately RTSP was an afterthought and really not something they cared to do, so they made it a new firmware that won’t be updated or even really looked at by their team after they released it. Sad, but I think they were really thinking the MaxDrive was going to solve it and so they wouldn’t need to do RTSP. But that company fell through and they had to do something. But I agree, would’ve been a great ability to do as well.
