RTSP BETA RELEASE FOR v3 and Pan v3!

Hi all, I have a question. After the latest V4 firmware update, my V4 will no longer stream on Tiny Cam Pro.

All my other cams (V2 and V3) are fine on Tiny Cam Pro.

Will enabling RTSP on V4 fix this issue that was caused by the V4 latest firmware update or RTSP has nothing to do with that?

The only way to fix it is to go back to an earlier firmware. Wyze changes have broken tinycam for every camera model that I have updated lately. RTSP would be a way to use the camera in tinycam, unfortunately it doesn’t work in tinycam (works everywhere else). The developer seems to have abandoned tinycam.

By the way the latest beta firmware for the V3 also breaks tinycam.

Thanks for the clarification and the quick response.

I just flashed back the old firmware on the V4 and it’s working again on Tiny Cam Pro. Also, thanks for the heads-up regarding the V3. I am not going to update the firmware until further notice.

Yeah, disable auto update at least until the V4 rtsp firmware is available. Per the reply a bit ago it sounds like it’s in the works.

I had one spare camera in a drawer and it works with the docker wyze bridge where the rest fail. Going to see if downgrading to the oldest firmware works for me, I was reading that it doesn’t always work.

Being able to use the wyze app and also my local infrastructure is great.

I’d echo the earlier questions (not sure if in this thread or the other one) about reliability when totally offline. Whether because of an outage or a preference to isolate local devices from the wider ā€˜net that’s a big one and someone was reporting that the cloud retries took down the rtsp stream.

I bought a Wyze Cam Doorbell Duo a couple of weeks ago (still unopened) to replace my Wyze Doorbell V1. I’ve since read that it may not work with TinyCam Pro, and I haven’t tested it yet.

If it doesn’t work with TinyCam Pro, I’m unsure whether I should keep it or return it. I’m also wondering if it makes sense to wait and see if RTSP support is added, or if I should start looking at other options.

Longer term, I’m trying to find a good way to stream all my cameras on devices like a Fire TV Stick. My Wyze V2s probably won’t ever get RTSP support (they’re less critical), but it would still be nice to have everything in one place.

What do you think is the best option, and what would you do with the Wyze Cam Doorbell Duo?

There was a V2 rtsp firmware released several years ago which I still use. The Wyze app works with it and the rtsp has been running well for me. Wyze removed it from their web site (because it*s Wyze) but you can still find it in other places.

Funny I was just going to ask @wyzedave if we can get an updated v2 firmware pushed for V2 cameras should not be that hard seeing the firmware already exist out there. I did the same thing with some of my V2 cameras but I would like a updated security one. I also have like a five V2 cameras running down at my mom’s house that I would like upgraded without using an SD card.

To be precise, technically they just delisted it, not removed it. It’s still available to get directly from the Wyze website:

[Insecure] RTSP FIRMWARE [missing critical updates] Directly from Wyze:

If needed, they are forever saved on the internet through the wayback machine:

All the other old RTSP firmware is still available too.

Ha…ha… I’ve got to be more careful on what I post on FB. The Internet is like a cockroach, it’ll survive a nuclear blast.

Man, I wish. People commonly say that anything posted on the internet is forever, and I was actually excited about that. I tried to go recover some blogs and public discussion threads I had on MySpace years ago. Some really deep, interesting and important discussions. I couldn’t recover that public data anywhere. I even tried the wayback machine and Some data brokers, and everything. I even had exact links to the exact URLs I bookmarked. Nothing. It was totally impossible to recover things I previously said on my space. I’m actually kind of heartbroken about that. I felt lied to. I was promised anything that I ever posted would be on the internet forever, only to find out that’s absolutely not true. Things I desperately want to recover are forever lost. :sob: I learned I have to manually save anything that I want to keep.

Additionally, I got screwed over by a company once (Coinbase) that had a promotion I qualified for, but they didn’t fulfill (I found other people. They did the same thing to). I tried to go prove it, but somehow they had wiped all records of the details and terms and the wayback machine only has a limited reference but no explicit details anywhere. It was frustrating. Thankfully, for me it was just a loss of like $20 around 2020, so minimal. But it was crazy that something which used to be plastered everywhere and had terms and conditions and all sorts of stuff that was publicly published suddenly had 95% Of all references about it wiped off the internet.

I feel like the ā€œstays on the internet foreverā€ thing is only true for if you say or do something really dumb or frivolous. That stuff will be around forever, but if it’s something you actually want to recover, that stuff magically disappears forever without a Trace. :rofl: There is apparently some kind of magical algorithmic karma rule about what stays around forever and what doesn’t.

Just wanted to let the Synology users know the V3’s can be added to Surveillance Station cameras by using these settings: Brand: ā€œUser Definedā€ with Type: ā€œStreaming-RTSPā€ using Path: ā€œrtsp://[user ID]:[passwpord]@X.X.X.X:554/stream0ā€ using your specified credentials. With the current FW version 4.3616.5654. I have submitted to Synology to have the model added to the IP Camera Listing and device pack and waiting to hear back from them.

I’ve got this working myself on my Synology box.

Right now I’ve only had one of my five Cam Pan v3s on the beta firmware, so that I can monitor for any show-stopper glitches before I move all the other cameras over to RSTP.

But overall, piping in native RTSP versus using the Wyze Docker Bridge (which, unbeknownst to me at the time, quit working for most people three days before I tried to set it up months ago) is a superior solution.

The Surveillance Station app on the Synology box has far better recording and video management capabilities than in the Wyze app anyway.

I just noticed this was available for HA today and installed the version (4.36.16.5055) from the website. In the app I noticed there’s an update to the BETA software. Should we be following the upgrade path of the Beta Software in the app Beta app currently version (4.36.16.5654) ?

Welcome to the Forum, @jiggy_nubn! :wave:

I would, as that’s the latest version announced here:

If you’re playing with beta firmware anyway, then you probably want to grab the latest version, and you should be able to do the OTA update for that—no need to re-flash. I don’t have any Cam v3s, so I can’t speak to that experience, but updating my Cam Pan v3 to the latest beta firmware with RTSP cleared up the ā€œ(code -36)ā€ error for me when trying to view the live stream in the current production app.

I completely agree with @Crease update OTA with most current version. Hoping V4 FW comes within the year. :crossed_fingers:

v3 rtsp and panv3 rtsp has video streaming artifacts and flickering, very noticeable at times, hw acc on or off, noticed in wyze latest official android non beta app and with blue iris, the recording with bi recording its almost unwatchable at times, quite a few artifacts, banding, bad video rendering etc

Hard to say since I don’t use any of that.

But no flickering in Ubuntu, Frigate, or Home Assistant, Coral or Openvino, lots of horsepower in my PC etc.

Having said that, tuning Frigate models etc. has been a trip and is still a mystery.:thinking::grimacing::person_shrugging::joy:

And unknown RTSP stability, which I’ll never know on the Wyze end.

to be clear, no flickering in blue iris, some random artifacts and maybe banding, the flickering, a very quick momentary off and on video feed is noticed in the wyze app, blur iris records that as video artifacts, banding etc but the streaming feed is not bad as compared to the recorded video
