yes, this is absolute garbage from Wyze. I bought my first and last Wyze cameras (OGs) after finding out i can’t flash an RTSP rom via custom firmware. the community wants features they can use. Will be returning to Amazon where I left a review warning others.
goodday.
They can’t extract extra money if we can produce our own service on HA.
Just gunna gut it for anything useable and not risk this pos to still exist for them to exploit others for features that should be standard not non existent diy options. Crap corporate one liner excuses and lack of support to the ppl that bought ur products means u have a very low repeat customer rate
Wyze seems to be full of excuses rather than solutions. Thanks for making me regret buying your products. Guess I will look for a better system.
What do you expect from a $15 camera? They’ve been very upfront about the fact that they sell these cams at break even and frequently a loss in hopes that they can upsell subscriptions. RTSP and Cam Plus Lite were available on the older, more expensive cameras only.
Where in the specs did it claim you could record directly to a network NVR or use RTSP? When I was considering purchasing, I looked up features and limitations and knew before buying that it for certain did not support RTSP or Cam Plus Lite. However I’m perfectly happy with the cam and an SD card. If I was going the NVR route, I wouldn’t want a cloud cam that has 99%+ compression rate on the video anyway. At that point get some real POE hardwired cams.
There are ways to potentially make it work with tinycam and some docker programs on a NAS, not sure if the OG works with that or not. But it is a very inefficient setup regardless.
