Introducing Wyze Duo Cam Doorbell - Released 10/21/2024

Does the purple marketing color indicate we will actually be able to use our Wyze cameras with our Roku devices? :wink:

Funny. But no. No Roku access to stream to the TV yet.

Speaking of Roku, it looks like Roku is starting to do their own stuff now. Look at this non-Wyze looking camera:

Thatā€™s funny. My thought was that the color in the marketing photos was indicative of a future Roku-branded version of the product. :wink:

While Roku releasing new Wyze-like products, Neos Smartcams is shutting down in the UK. Neos is the UK equivalent of Roku.

They finally released it. It was spotted couple months ago on FCC report.

@p2788deal Perfect time to try out thingino.com for those cameras.

I donā€™t have those Neos cameras, just mentioned them in passing.

What I have are lots of unused cam V2s that Iā€™d like to try flashing with Thingino. But Iā€™m too lazy to try opening them up to flip a UART switch or somethng.

The Roku cameras have been for sale at WM for at least a few years. The ones currently there look exact like the V2.

Interesting but link is deadā€¦

Having the capability to watch cams on Roku is a definite plus without an additional subscription fee, I hope.

Yeah, the ones that Wyze helped them start with have been out for a long time. I was taking about the new ones just barely released this summer/fall that donā€™t look like Wyze at all.

@Earl.Automation,

When you install the doorbell I would be very curious if you have to setup one wireless connection (good) or two, as in the OG stack (ouch).

Iā€™m holding off getting one as my doorbell v2 is finally 100% reliable and wife is looking at me strangely - - changing the doorbell every yearšŸ˜¬.

I think itā€™s just 2 cameras jammed into a 1 camera view. We will see though.

There are 2 cameras and looks like each one has a resolution of 1140 x 800.

One setup only.

Iā€™m interested in the transmission method. The OG stack made me nervous, but at least they were an inch apart. Having 2 transmitters and receivers just a few cmā€™s apart makes me nervous.

Hopefully it will be one wifi. TCP/UDP doesnā€™t care how it got there.

If you know this for sure.

COOL. Wyze did it right

Thereā€™s only 1 network connection, unlike the OG stack,

Yes, for sure, itā€™s only 1 network controller in the device and functions as 1 device, it just has 2 lenses.

Mine seems to be, too, especially since I rewired my mechanical chime after discovering that the original wiring had been reversed on the terminals, probably at the time the house was built.

Thatā€™s not what the comparison chart indicates.

Thatā€™s a good point and should be apparent from watching the unboxing/setup video, which also illustrates that the new Wi-Fi Chime is a separate device setup (separate Wi-Fi connection) and apparently becomes available as its own device within the Wyze app (if I understand correctly).

Thatā€™s weird. The display aspect ratios donā€™t match those resolutions. Theyā€™re both almost squares. Are there areas not being shown?
