I have recently discovered Blue Iris software and I am excited to try to start using this possibly as an alternative to my current setup for security monitoring. I have a dedicated PC that I’m currently running the demo on, and I just got it installed last night, and so to test, I thought I would take the only free camera I have laying around and use the older Wyze Cam v2 camera to test the software out so I don’t have to reconfigure any of my production cameras, since as I understand it, the Wyze v2 camera should be compatible.
The issue I’m running into is that I have the camera flashed to the current RTSP firmware from Wyze, which is build number 4.28.4.49. I have followed all of the setup steps from Wyze for doing this, and have RTSP turned on in the advanced settings, and I currently have a url generated as follows:
rtsp://192.168.1.140/live
I have omitted the username and password from the above URL for obvious reasons. When I try to add that camera to Blue Iris, all I get is a error that says “Cam2: No signal”. I am able to pull up the camera in the Wyze app and see it just fine, and I am able to confirm from my firewall that it is indeed using the DHCP lease of 192.168.1.140, so all appears to be working just fine with the camera at the moment.
I have already posted in the forums at Blue Iris, but am not getting any luck finding a solution, so I figured that someone here must be using RTSP on their Wyze cams, so if anyone has any suggestions, I would be all ears, as I’m not getting anything working at the moment, and I would like to be able to use my investment in Wyze camera with a good NVR to increase my ability to have better security.
Thanks,
Jason
