Will it support RTSP and will it be sold in Canada? Unless it’s a yes to both I will start to look at other options, just need to know so that I don’t waste time waiting.
Thanks
Wyze doesn’t officially sell anything in Canada.
We’re still making progress on Canadian shipping but I don’t know what that timeline is (especially with the coronavirus impacting travel and such).
I’m not sure about RTSP but I’ll put the request in to the team.

Thanks for the response!! I’m not sure what the release date is on the outdoor camera, but I’m hoping the Canada shipping will be resolved till then. Also, would be quite amazing to have RTSP support (with the current bugs worked out).

You’re welcome!
RTSP for me too!
Wyze is wonderful and I’ll state it but, the outdoor cam is really taking 18mos too long they could have released an official case for a V2 straight out and owned all the secondary markets selling birdhouses for answers and all this time to have been working on whatever may one day come. I’ve reached a point of MEH ! Whatever. Wanna here a fact?. I can’t for the life of me find any step by step anywhere on how to set up rules and apply any of them for my cameras. There’s hints, there’s suggestions but there’s no walkthrough I can find so why bother if it’s 30% of the posts here complaining about updates that disable them routinely. I love Wyze but this hurts interest in moving forward…

This sort of thing has been my concern for a while. Pretty much anything at the street is nothing more than a low res figure. For faces and license plates it is even worse. Unless you have a camera that is installed at the ROW line in front of your property, my expectations are low. In most cases it seems things have to be around 10-15 feet from the camera to get a reasonably identifiable clear picture. At night limitations get more reliant on how far the IR lights from the camera can travel. I think extra lighting will become more common place to help solve this issue like RING has done. I have seen many videos posted on my RING neighborhood app catching strangers doing all sorts of things but most of them share the same theme of issues not capturing enough detail to even be able to begin thinking about identifying anyone.
Best option I’ve seen is an Arlo Ultra with a separate 850nm IR floodlight for enhanced night illumination. License plates can still be hit or miss because of reflection. Clarity to zoom-in for license plates and faces is better when recording in 4K.
I’m not expecting 4K cameras at the prices Wyze is selling their products.
I haven’t posted much on the forum. Use the Facebook groups more. So I think I read the outdoor cam will have something similar to Blinks sync module. Is this the case? And if so why? Wouldn’t a standalone camera be more versatile?
Really hope the outdoor cams are released soon. My main purpose for them is for trail cams…I so need to replace some of my current cams…I can’t wait much longer. lol
Looking forward to hearing news about the outdoor cam … hopefully soon as I need to implement new hardware soon. I need something that will integrate with my Synology Surveillance station, this was accomplished by using the older rtsp firmwares on my V2’s.

There you go. Blueprint plus actual picture of the camera. Does not look as pretty as V2 but hope it will work as great as V2 and Pan.

Nice! I read the article and it sounds pretty cool. I’m a little confused on why Wyze chose to do a tiny hub for the camera(s) that can supposedly only support 4 cams. I like that there is a micro SD slot in the cameras hopefully 24/7 recording is an option if you leave it plugged in.
It looks smaller than I expected.
Wyze would have been smart to release the info and photos first.
Now that the pictures and user manual are out there, maybe they will be more forthcoming with information.
Wyze reminds me of my employer. By the time they announce anything the employees already know more about the topic than management does.

I don’t get it ,.what’s that thing on the left? Is it the camera base? What is a bridge and why will it be required? No word on RTSP…
I expected like a.small dome or smaller bullet type camera, both better outside especially for weather (snow), having something square seems counterintuitive to shed snow/rain.
Can’t really see how the lens is protected on this design.
The thing on the left is the hub.
The hub is required because the camera sleeps until motion wakes it. The hub allows you to wake the camera(s) when you want to view them.
Frankly, this looks ugly and I wish that this is another prototype and we won’t get this model. Because if you see the competitors like Arlo and Blink, their devices looks sexy.

I’m disappointed after reading the information. The potential useful use cases just took a large dropped for me as well has having to run a hard cable to yet another Wyze bridge is very sad.
Sorry, I just do watch wild animals all that much, which seems to be the best use for this device while the the potential owner remembers and makes the recharging effort part of day(s).
