What are the other options that have local access, with home assistant integrations?
For standard cameras I’ve been really liking the ReoLink RCL520A for most everywhere that can have a cable drop ran to it. For Doorbells, I’ve been using Amcrest AD410’s. Haven’t had really anywhere else I’ve needed to go that these 2 options didn’t handle.

Checkout wyze docker, not RTSP required. It lets you live stream all your cameras to home assistant, GitHub - mrlt8/docker-wyze-bridge: RTMP/RTSP/LL-HLS bridge for Wyze cams in a docker container

My Wyze cams are working alright with the RTSP firmware, but ignoring the concept of “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it”, I thought I’ try the Docker Wyze Bridge.
Have you had success with the Home Assistant Docker add-on?
My Docker Wyze Bridge Config
WYZE_EMAIL: user@service.com
WYZE_PASSWORD: secret
NET_MODE: LAN
SNAPSHOT: API
MQTT_DTOPIC: homeassistant
IMG_DIR: /share/timelapse/WyzeDock
QUALITY: HD120
FRESH_DATA: false
FILTER_MACS: A4DA22xxxxxx, 2CAA8Exxxxxx, 2CAA8Exxxxxx, 2CAA8Exxxxxx
FILTER_BLOCK: true
DEBUG_FRAMES: false
DEBUG_FFMPEG: false
I can see all of my local cameras “connected” in the Docker Wyze Bridge log.
In configuration.yaml I have:
camera:
# Wyze V2 OilTank TEST
- platform: generic
still_image_url: http://127.0.0.1:8123/local/OilTank.jpg
stream_source: rtsp://127.0.0.1:8554/OilTank
name: Wyze V2 OilTank TEST
I used the loopback address as above and also tried the IP of my Home Assistant server.
Either way I don’t find any images here: /config/www/ in Home Assistant mode. (it is an empty directory)
or here: /share/timelapse/WyzeDock
I FILTERed/BLOCKed my offsite cameras to avoid confusion and allow NET_MODE: LAN to stay on my local LAN.
I FILTERed/BLOCKed my Wyze Cam V1 to suppress messages in the error log.
I also see high CPU utilization: 20% to 44%, for the add-on.
I’m guessing I don’t have things right in the configuration.yaml file. If anyone else has had success, I’d appreciate your feedback. I’ve disable the add-on until I get another inspiration to try.
Thanks!
Here is what my current setup looks like and it works great for me, but yes, I am running HA core on RPI4 and I also do get CPU usage too.
But this is the setup I made and it works perfectly for me.

Thanks! I’ll bang my head against the wall to see what I can shake out.
At he moment it’s a mystery to me why I don’t see files in the www directory.
[EDIT} got it…
Change:
To: (just go with the default… images now appear in www )
IMG_DIR:
Even though the camera name is OilTank and is initially shown in the log as:
2022/03/26 18:21:34 [WyzeBridge] 
Connecting to WyzeCam V2 - OilTank on 192.168.210.47 (1/3)
2022/03/26 18:21:36 [OilTank] 
Getting 120kb/s HD stream @15fps via LAN mode (WiFi: 78%) FW: 4.28.4.49 (2/3)
when the “path” is shown it appears as:
2022/03/26 18:21:41 [RTSP][OILTANK] 
‘/oiltank’ stream is UP! (3/3)
so… change:
To: (all lower case)
still_image_url: http://127.0.0.1:8123/local/oiltank.jpg
the rest should be easy 
Thanks for the screen shots of your config!

Nice, glad you figured it out! and Np.
Year FIVE of waiting for Wyze to listen to their customers.

Any updates to share Wyze team?
They’ve responded in multiple different places that they need to see how the Matter initiative affects everything. I can share a little bit on that…but the Matter alliance keeps delaying the first version (multiple times)…latest news is that the first version of matter should launch this fall sometime (I’ll believe it when I see it since the Matter Alliance has changed it so many times already).
Then it will take some time to test and see how others implement support for it, including SmartThings, Apple HomeKit, and even what Matter options Home Assistant will have (there are several projects working to integrate Home Assistant with Matter, such as through Home Assistant Amber), and implement them into which Wyze devices that would be compatible (not all will be).
That’s really what it all boils down to at this point. We almost definitely won’t have any 3rd party access until the end of the year at the soonest, and probably not until 2023 sometime. It’s also quite likely that a lot of the early devices won’t be able to support the Matter minimum requirements, so some older devices may not ever be compatible.
But I am eager for it myself. I want it for Home Assistant and Hubitat especially, if not some others. 
Wyze has actually discussed it in some fireside, and AMA’s and even in some other threads (WyzeFrederik is one of the ones in charge of the Matter initiative for Wyze and he’s discussed the situation pretty frankly). We basically have to wait for that to launch before we can really get a whole lot more info.
The Matter project was primarily launched by Amazon, Apple, Google, Comcast and the Zigbee Alliance/CSA…and now some subsequent members, but in short, the delay isn’t from a single company, the whole alliance has had setbacks making this take forever to get released so that everyone can start implementing it…on the downside it’s a pay-to-play scheme that pretends to be open-source even though the Matter specification is actually licensed and must be paid for…but at least we’ll soon have a lot more integration options.

I see they came out with a new door lock. How much you wanna bet they took out Zigbee so you have to use thier app and can’t use a thiers party Zigbee hub
This looked promising and then… it was gone.

Doesn’t this also require the hardware bridge be plugged into HA’s USB port? Or is that only if you want to control Other Wyze things like bulbs and sensors?
Also, has anyone had luck getting these to run V2 Pan cams on standard hardware?
Looks like it’s all on GitHub, there is a link in the comments.

But still not local. Requires credentials and a “cloud push”. 
That is true,
However, the other day I started my HA to see if Josh had any updates and was faced with big updates. The Josh Wyze github update said to do the install for Local processing of the bulbs. Did you see that? I have not checked it out yet.
