Has anyone tried this on the V4?
Also thanks wyze for letting us use what we bought and paid for how we want to!
If you saw the instructions, it is only firmware for v3 and pan v3.
- Is the intention to continue updating this one topic in Wyze News when RTSP Ī² app/firmware updates are released, or should we be looking to track Beta topics for new updates, like when @WyzeAndy posts about new releases to the regular beta channel?
- Itās cool that you have a separate form for feedback. Should testers be expected to use that exclusively, or will this Forum topic become a megathread for collecting issue reports and/or Log IDs, or would that sort of issue tracking be better served on a release-by-release basis, like with separate Beta topics for each new RTSP Ī² firmware/app/ātesting roundā release?
@echo off
set "vlcPath=C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe"
set "url=rtsp://username:password@192.168.xxx.xxx:554/stream0"
start "" "%vlcPath%" --loop --qt-minimal-view --no-video-title-show --no-qt-error-dialogs --no-qt-video-autoresize --no-audio "%url%"
If anyone wants to test, I use the above in a .bat (batch) script file to auto pull up my feeds in VLC. The extra commands are to loop playback and stuff in the event the network drops out (because all wireless things eventually do)ā¦because then VLC will stop playing and you would have to manually hit Play again.
With this beta firmware, could this be used with FTP to send to a server? I have a weather station that gets uploaded to Weather Underground and a couple other weather sites, but was thinking of adding a weather camera to my station feed. It requires FTP though.
Though I didnāt see any mention of it, it would be fantastic if FTP was included.
Absolutely, but you need to use a bridge or intermediary tool that:
- Connects to the RTSP stream
- Captures snapshots at intervals
- Saves them as image files
- Uploads them via FTP
Popular options include:
- FFmpeg + Cron + FTP Script (DIY, Linux-friendly)
- Blue Iris (Windows, GUI-based) -but itās paid software
- MotionEye (Raspberry Pi or Linux)
- Agent DVR (Free, cross-platform)
Ask any major LLM AI to give you a walkthrough for any of those options.
Thanks. Looks like Iāll have some reading and tinkering to do. Maybe I can find a package for my Synology NAS since I know there are some FTP options in Synology.
Oh yeah, Especially since Synology has built-in support for docker containers.
You could look into a GitHub project called docker-record-rtsp-to-ftp
- Record RTSP streams on motion or schedule
- Upload the resulting video or snapshots to an FTP server
- Run entirely within Docker on your Synology NAS
But it would require a little bit of scripting, though an AI can probably help do that for you.
Another option is what I mentioned above:
Snapshot + FTP via Synologyās Built-In Tools
If you prefer a simpler setup:
- Use a tool like ffmpeg or MotionEye in Docker to grab snapshots from the RTSP stream
- Save snapshots to a shared folder on your NAS
- Use Synologyās built-in FTP client or scheduled tasks to upload those images to Weather Underground or other services.
Okay, Iāve been lurking in this thread, but now Iāll pipe in.
A while back I attempted to get the third-party Wyze docker bridge to work on my Synology box, but unbeknownst to me issues had arisen preventing it to work a couple of days before I tried it.
Question: If new Wyze camera firmware is going to directly support RTSP, the Synology āSurveillance Stationā package should be able to directly connect to a Wyze Cam Pan v3 (with the firmware) without a ābridgeā, correct?
Hoping to find a solution to use RTSP with Surveillance Station myself. Glad to see the development is working forward on this requested protocol.
Absolutely correct! 
I am planning to do this as well. 
(though it will only be able to view the video/audio, it wonāt have PTZ controls to move the camera view or turn the camera on/off, etc)
Any progress with the Android app?
They are still working on it.
Very excited to try this as well. Got the firmware loaded up, but sadly in the Android app, when I go to setup RTSP, I put in the username, and then it just backs out to the RTSP setup page again, so no way to enable it for now.
I just want to point out, that people are so excited for this announcement, that there are a bunch of forum flags above comments pointing out that this is the first time many people have ever posted in the forums or that they are posting after a hiatus of like 5 years or something. There are a bunch of those. Probably a lot more percentage wise than for most news announcements. Itās an interesting sign to me. Hopefully Wyze is taking note of this as well. People are interested and so far It is kind of only launched for two cameras and iOS And just in testing and really only announced here on the forum. There have been people on Discord and Reddit and other places who didnāt even have any idea and were wondering why this wasnāt more popularly announced. I expect that as time goes on and more is supported and it moves on to a production launch that there will be even more excitement from people who havenāt commented before or in a long time.
Also, a big welcome to all the new people and the returning people. 
thanks for engaging to help make sure Wyze sees how much we all appreciate these efforts finally!
Iām still waiting for it to work on Android. 
Android users here is a new link! https://d1z7w5i616oq48.cloudfront.net/088d8139acdc4006/1412d35fbb77c46c7b986b88f78d6d92/3.9.0.a903/Wyze_3_9_0_a903_542750.apk
Same problem for me. Put in a username, then it backs out to the previous screen. Shows he same subversion as the previous apk btw
It has the same error or is it the same app?
