Can Wyze be modified to be used with Synology Surveillance Station? The software is BY FAR So much superior

If it supports RTSP you have a couple options.
On the v3 you can install the old RTSP firmware but that is old and unsupported so not a great option.
Run tiny cam server to convert the streams to RTSP
Run wyze bridge in a docker container on the synology assuming it supports docker/linux, also with the intent of converting the streams to RTSP.
Any of the options will obviously put a bit of strain on your wifi, with each cam streaming constantly, but each one is only around 1Mbps so depending on your 2.4ghz environment, may or may not be a concern.

Yep, thanks dave27. I have absolutely had my Synology surveillance station record the video stream of my Wyze cameras.
As dave27 said, you need to use an RTSP converter to get the rtsp stream from your wyze cameras. Synology has a built in docker container manager to simplify this process, so I recommend installing docker Wyze bridge on Synology then you can get the rtsp stream from that to plug into surveillance station.
When I did this, I looked up a YouTube walkthrough for installing docker Wyze bridge on Synology and just followed that. It made it simple. I recommend doing the same.

WOW!
I recently acquired a Synology DS224+ and did not realize this capability existed. I’m going to try this. Here are some links I found…
