All my cameras just say 'authenticating' endlessly and no longer work as of the past 24 hours

Tx. Would be nice if we could get a push message or something when problems with a version you are running are identified …

But then we would miss your valued interaction !
Are you capturing 4 RTSP streams at the same time?

:wink: … I haven’t been able to get live streams in Home Assistant … Just haven’t found the time to try even more to get it working.

I’ve managed to do it via Blue Iris. Still get some random disconnects but for the most part it’s fine.

Same here, keeps hanging in authentication, local all worksfine (homeassistant, Motioneye etc) but APP fails to stream. Connect even after reinstalling Cams

If you want feedback about RTSP or the current beta app , your posting in the wrong place here.
You will get much better feedback on the current beta app by posting in the Beta Section.
If you want feedback about RTSP , post in threads about RTSP , click on the magnifying glass , upper right and search for RTSP and you will find many threads pertaining to that.
This keeps things organized , but , the best thing is, you have a whole lot better chance of getting the feedback that you want.

Same issue here, cant connect to one of my cameras. Hands on authenticating and then times out.
Power cycled everything, including my network.

Edit: I forgot to mention the camera loads just fine in a group with other cameras. It’s only when I try to watch it by itself. I’ve tried changing the quality and stuff like that. I think its on Wyzes end

Whats going on? I don’t know if the last Firmware update did it, or with all the new items you can add on did it. I want my cameras back usable. they were very nice at the beginning. Now are always cycling offline and catching nothing. I don’t want to add people motion. All 4 Cameras since 8/2018 USE TO WORK GREAT. 1 was replaced twice (different issues). However, now I have multiple issues all 4 camera’s are constant cycling (9x etc) or OFFLINE. 1 camera is not recognizing the Wyze SD card. Resetting is horrible (removed SD CARD, Held set up button 10 seconds, waited past 5 mins for initialize) 2 attempts finally got a sold yellow however, 2 devices will not recognize the QR code. I wish I could get refunded for everything.

What versions of the app and firmware are you running on what platform. I’ve got 12 cams running, 2 on RTSP and only the 2 on RTSP are not loading.

Yep same here. On latest iOS beta & Wyze beta app. The one cam not working is RTSP

@AllEyesOnMe, please provide more specific information so the community can assist you better.

  • Type of phone/tablet OS (Android or iOS) and which version of OS on the device
  • The app version you have installed
  • The firmware installed on the cameras

Hello everyone,

I received reports about the new beta app not successfully connecting to cameras running the RTSP firmware and have confirmed it to be a bug.

Cause: We updated the connection module for better connectivity. However, this also introduced a bug causing authentication issues with the RTSP firmware.

Action: We will release an updated RTSP firmware version in a few days to fix this issue. The new RTSP firmware will also include security updates from the v2.5 firmware (V4.9.4.169 / V4.10.3.169) and other minor performance improvements.

Thank you.

Do we get a notification when the firmware is ready?

Depends who “we” is. And what you mean by notification. And what you mean by “is ready”.

I’m in Beta, generally I have to fish around on here and Facebook to find out there is going to be a new release. Several times I’ve not found out for almost a week. Generally when I fire off a cam it will announce new firmware is AVAILABLE,

But “ready” can mean when Wyze wants to throw it out for us to break. Or it could mean it’s a good stable firmware you can load on your camera and expect ALL old functions to work as well as they did previously and the new functions to perform flawlessly.
I’ve only been here since April and have not seen the latter. Invariably something stops working,

But Wyze seems to be on a high speed development track and trying to cram a gigabyte of code into a gigabit of storage space.

Meaning Access via app?

Yupper

My camera still does not work…have only had it since July and it worked only a few times. What it being done about this?

@TWins, Did you file a Support Request ??

I have not…I seem to be having the same problem as other folks here…I am a IT professional and have tried it all with this camera, even bought the mini router to try and get it to work…it seems like a bad program…and then to top things off, I get an email where WYZE is having an anniversary and is giving folks that buy these cameras so much off…fix the problem with the unusable stuff first! I will file a support request…although I don’t think there is anything that can be done that I have not already done.
