Well, I doubt too that your newer version makes the difference!. Maybe this is a combination of many settings. This is my cam configuration:
@Skycam Thank you!! I’ll give that a try in just a bit, I’m now trying to get my WIFI extender to play fair with the V3 and BI. The extender has an IP that BI doesn’t appear to like. Sam at BI Support emailed me a quick fix but that didn’t work either. Crazy stuff. 
@MarkTX I’m going to give some of your ideas a try. Thank you. BI Support gave me a quick fix, but it didn’t work. I’ve emailed Sam back to see what he suggests next.
In case this isn’t already referenced in this thread, Might ge good to pin to the top of this thread:

@Skycam Funny. This configuration didn’t work for me just now. However I went back to one sent by @MarkTX and it worked. This stuff is just crazy. Anyway, I’m happy to have just the video at this point on the Wyze App, the Echo Show 8 V2, the BI iPhone App, and VLC. Someday it will all come together for all of us!
Glad to see this finally made it to Beta
Two questions:
- Once this is out of Beta, will it require a CamPlus subscription to utilize it on the camera?
- Why can’t we use a Special Character for a password?
Thank you,
SJ
Current understanding is that RTSP will never be part of production firmware - dammit.
Can you tell if this is a limitation in BlueIris or Wyze? My RTSP password has upper, lower, and numbers, but does not have any punctuation.
Hey Mark…
@MarkTX I’ve created another post regarding an issue I’ve had with the Wyze Cams v3 since I got them.
Have you ever seen this before… here is the link for my post.
@Skycam You had me excited there for a minute, but 5.5.1.5 x64 doesn’t have the registry keys that are shown in your screen shot.
I have the same Blue Iris version as @itravel…apparently it does matter. I think its pretty cool that you noticed the difference in the registry, even if I"m not a big fan of registry hacks. As @teredactle said, I think the question might be, is it “wrong” in Blue Iris, or is it closer to the truth to say that Wyze has done something unexpected with their RTSP beta? It is beta, after all.
I’m still wondering how we will ever get from beta to stable if Wyze doesn’t interact with those of us who are testing…(?)
@MarkTX @Skycam IT WORKS!!! I forgot that I had audio disabled in BI. Once I enabled audio in BI then went back into the registry I was able to make the edits you recommended. SUCCESS with Audio!!
@Skycam Not sure if you would have received this but… IT WORKS! I forgot that I had the audio disabled in BI for my V3. Once I enable the audio and went back into the registry I was able to make the edits you recommended. Thank you for a great fix!!
You’re welcome. ENJOY 
It’s strange that the registry keys are not the same since @itravel has the same version. I agree that the problem could still be the Beta version and not necessary Blue Iris, hard to tell.
But as far as I’m concerned, I just can’t wait for a released version. I want to enjoy the full functionality of the V3 cam NOW 
It is occuring in the Wyze App on my iPhone, as shown when you first setup RTSP on the V3 on my phone
With the special character of “?” on the password line, it get the 'username and password cannot contain special characters, and the Generate URL button is disabled.
If I remove the special character, that message disappears and the Generate URL button is available.

Does anybody know if using the blue iris app impacts the cpu usage on the pc running BI?
I know viewing the stream on a browser even on LAN does increases the cpu, but wasn’t sure if using the app would as well.
@macster2075 I haven’t seen any measurable impact. I use the BI App multiple times a day on my iPhone and have watched the UI3 on my Mac at the same time. Haven’t noticed any issues.
Yes, most certainly. Most any PC will have enough power for a small number of cameras…I myself started out with an Intel Core 2 Quad machine which was enough for a single 5MP camera…probably similar to (4) Wyze V3 cameras, since they use heavy compression.
The single most important factor is Intel Quick Sync, which comes with sixth generation and later Intel Core processors. BI can run on other processors, including AMD, but Quick Sync is the most powerful and efficient option.
Blue Iris can also leverage higher-end GPUs in order to take stress off of the CPU, but again, it is less efficient than Quick Sync.
Realistically, all PC software uses resources. Blue Iris is continuously streaming and recording video from every connected camera. If you view, either locally or remotely, it must then re-encode video for streaming, so naturally, that requires more resources. Although, with any modern Intel Core processor, Blue Iris can handle many, many megapixels of video.
One of my Blue Iris machines is an old Intel i7 2600K (which does not support Quick Sync), but that machine does have a NVIDIA GTX 970 GPU. With (15) 4MP cameras, the CPU utilization is typically around 20 percent. It can go higher under certain conditions, but it is totally usable.
Real numbers. I just brought up task manager on my server that is running Blue Iris. BI is running between 50 and 70% of the CPU, and it is using about 8GB of system RAM. Note that I am currently streaming 28 Wyze cameras and three other cameras to BlueIris. The server has two Xeon L5520 CPUs and 48GB of RAM.
Now that there is hope for the v3 RTSP Beta, I’ve submitted a new wishlist request: Event playback from SD card beyond 12 seconds.
Please VOTE 
Not too bad for non-Quick Sync processors. Just out of curiosity, how much power does it use while it’s doing that?
Here are real numbers from my i7 2600K machine:
That was with Blue Iris console open, showing ~45 kB/s of bandwidth
Keep in mind that this machine is also hosting two database applications and and my weather station software. Blue Iris is responsible for around 18 percent of the total CPU and nearly all of the GPU. utilization. Blue Iris’ share drops to around 12 percent when the console is closed. Essentially all of the GPU utilization is Blue Iris and seems unaffected by whether the BI console is open or not. Because of no Quick Sync, the GPU is doing most of the work, so this machine averages around 120 watts of power consumption.
