sigh, spent a lot of money on 8 cameras. HATE paying a recurring fee to see the cams in a browser with an app that sucks (sorry, why don’t you just license stuff that is already proven… 
). The Wyze cameras are good and competitively priced. Don’t know why they want to FORCE everyone to an expensive recurring revenue stream in order to view cams in the way we want. Please consider the MIND OF THE CUSTOMER on this topic… That said, it appears the answer is NOT INTERESTED and thus, my Wyze Cams shall soon be on Facebook Marketplace and Ebay …

For those of you following the official wishlist for this, you might like to go read a new survey from one of the Wyze Cofounders about how they finally want to build it, but they are trying to financially justify it. There are some good ideas and good points made by people responding to it. I would encourage people here who have been interested in RTSP to consider filling out the polling and sharing your feedback and insights:
Note, he does not say they will only do it if enough people agree to a subscription, but that would potentially make the pitch easier to get approval since it would cover the R&D costs. He did say:
We really want to make this happen this year. Just trying to build a business case if we can, but might do it even if there is no business case for it.
Feel free to read some suggestions other people made in the thread and make your own. It would be nice if they finally go through with making this more widely available on newer cameras and without being a separate firmware that eventually becomes deprecated.

I feel that Wyze should keep up with competition Like TPLink Tapo which does have RTSP included for many cameras. I am a long time user and subscriber to Wyze products and services and one complaint I have is when the internet is lost, my cameras are down.
Tapo will still work on your local wifi network without an internet connection.

Maybe I should buy their stuff instead. Sick of not having my cameras when the internet is out, which can be any time. RSTP solves that problem and I feel safe again.
I would really really really like to have RSTP on all of my many varied Wyze cameras and doorbell cameras. Sadly only V3s will run the RSTP bin file.
I paid for the cams doorbell cam and the Unlimited already.
As “hopeful” as the RTSP bin file was back in the day it still is not sufficient as the cameras stop cooperating when the internet is done for an extended period. Wyze just won’t let them operate without phoning home somewhere along the line. Amcrest, Reolink, Unifi and many others provide true internet independent RTSP support.
I use my V3s with Home Assistant and I’m happy enough. (but happier with all of the previously mentioned)
When I need real RTSP I go elsewhere. I pay more and I get the function I need.
Heck, I even use OG cams for $10USD each when price and no-RTSP fit a the requirement.
There is no single answer and among the alternatives I rarely consider Wyze.
