Is there a way to grab images via Linux command line interface?

It looks like Wyze cameras run Linux inside…

Is there a way to SSH into a Wyze v4 camera?
Can you use the WGET command to grab an image from a Wyze v4 camera?

Is RTSP streaming active in current firmware (4.52.8.0648) for the v4 camera?

Thanks,
Eric

Coding is not my strength, but here is the Wyze Developer Kit for Python.

It is not, but this is a frequent request in the Forum, and you may want to visit this Wishlist topic to add your comments and hit the Vote button above the initial post:

I’m not aware of a straightforward (or other) way to do this, but I believe similar things have been requested in the Forum, as well. Personally, I’d really like to be able to see the microSD card in each camera as a storage device accessible on my LAN so that I could just copy files over the air to my PC, or even retrieve them by FTP or some other means.

While I don’t know of a way to do this now, at least not with the Cams’ native firmware, I have physically pulled microSD cards from cameras to retrieve batches of 1-minute video files (because that’s how the cameras write the files to the cards) to my local hard disk so that I can concatenate them into longer videos with FFmpeg on Linux. I realize that’s not what you’re asking here, but it’s the most direct way I currently know of for grabbing and manipulating those files.
