You can also configure things like zones, motion masks, and a bunch of other features. Yes you can have it do continuous recording and/or record clips and/or snapshots on motion and object detection.
SECURITYSPY BETA INSTALL
Yes frigate is free and open source, and yes your can install it on any computer that can run docker. If I want notifications when I am not home of the triggered recordings, the SSID the Frigate computer is connected to needs to be connected to the internet, but that connection will still be totally controlled by me, and it does not give the Wyze cams a back door to the internet - I still have no chance of sending cam data to China or elsewhere in this setup through Wyze - cam data is still private, subject to how well I set up my security.
SECURITYSPY BETA SOFTWARE
The Frigate software analyzes the stream and triggers the recording on motion if I have it set that way. In this scenario the Wyze cam connects to a local computer that runs something like Frigate, and the connection is over my local wifi, which can be an SSID not connected to the internet. If I want, I can run only the Wyze RTSP and not allow the Wyze cam to connect to the internet, so then the Wyze software does nothing, and with RTSP software the Wyze cam will continue to function without internet access even after a power outage. I can have both the Wyze native software and the Wyze RTSP running at the same time. So to be sure I understand this Wyze RTSP thing. But if I could install Frigate onto some existing computer or hub, that would be awesome. Looked that up and if I understand correctly, Frigate is free open source software? A bit concerned as further googling indicates people need to buy computer parts to make it work? I think that is beyond me. Thank you so much for taking the time to respond!Īlso thank you for the Frigate info. Shouldn't be any major disadvantages, this just didn't exist until now so the community put together "hacked" methods. I believe the previous method also required a seperate computer to act as the bridge while this is streamed directly from the camera. What is the advantage of a "native" Wyze RTSP software vs the one at github?įor one this is "official". You can use that stream to view it from a browser/media player or stream it to an NVR like blue iris or frigate to do object/person detection, capture clips, record to a disk, etc. This firmware allows you to stream an rtsp video stream from the camera in addition to the stock Wyze functionality. Notifications probably still require the frigate/blue iris host to have internet access though. The Wyze-powered cloud stuff should also still function simultaneously from within the Wyze app. Yup, not 100% sure on blue iris but frigate does really impressive person/object detection completely locally.Yeah that's one of the main attractions to doing this.No, at least not for the blue iris/frigate part.I use frigate not blue iris, but I think the answers should be the same: Quickly tap the Setup button and go through the setup process in the app. Once this process is finished, you should see flashing red lights.Instead, both the blue and yellow LEDs will be on at once, making it appear to be a lighter blue.

Note: The “Solid Blue” in this case is not the same as the one normally seen on the camera.The camera will reboot, and the status light will change during this time. Once the light is solid blue, release the Setup button and wait for 3-4 minutes.Hold the camera’s Setup button while plugging in the USB cable and continue to hold the Setup button until the light turns solid blue/purple.Unplug your Wyze Cam and insert the prepared microSD card.Unzip the file ( demo_wcv3.bin) and transfer it to a microSD card’s root directory.
SECURITYSPY BETA HOW TO
How to install the RTSP Firmware on Wyze Cam v3 NOT demo.bin like the support article says. The firmware needs to be named demo_wcv3.bin for the V3 cam. Thanks to /u/chevyman142000 for figuring renaming to demo.bin was incorrect. Sadly I can’t get a solid blue light to appear on the v3.
