I’m waiting for this because I don’t want to get on a ladder in 20 degree weather with snow and ice.
@WyzeAndy Is there any update on this (rtsp firmware being OTA, @WyzeDave alluded it in a Reddit post)? I’m in the same boat as @talormanda and have a couple of cams I’d prefer to OTA vs manually flashing.
Can’t seem to add the cameras to Home Assistant. However, I am able to add it to other apps like Shinobi or IPCams. Even trying with RTSP (not RTSPS) and no dice.
Is there some special config needed for “Generic Camera” in Home Assistant?
Also, cannot load it with VLC, but can with ffplay.
what worked for me…
stream source: rtsp://192.168.0.6:554/stream0/

Yeah, I am starting to think maybe there is just something wrong with my Home Assistant.
I have tried your exact settings (using my camera IP and credentials), and still get “Error starting stream, see logs for details (Stream never started)”.
I go to Home Assistant logs, and see nothing recent (no logs in the last 8 hours).
However this works with ffplay
ffplay ‘rtsp://jslay:password@10.3.1.108:554/stream0’
I can also install ffplay inside the Home Assistant container with apk, and test that it can connect from the container
/config # ffplay ‘rtsp://jslay:password@10.3.1.108:554/stream0’ -nodisp -an

FIXED: Hmm, I had capabilities NET_ADMIN/NET_RAW added to the container (which I would think would be enough), but I was able to get it working once I ran the container as privileged.
