Have you looked in this long arsed thread, much of it applied when only SD flash was the thing.
Quite a few references and things to try for being stuck in the username password loop.
Does SD flash still work? I’m asking because I don’t know. Could try that if it does.
AHA! I never mentioned it, but my issues are at work, on a Ubiquiti wireless network. I have a couple Wyze Cam v3 at home, and last night I tried to set up RTSP and it all worked like a charm, no issues whatsoever. So, my issue is clearly related to the Ubiquiti network at work. So far this morning I have had no success, but at least now I know I’m not losing my mind.
(By the way, I’m not using UniFi Protect, just a bog standard wifi network using Ubiquiti AC-Pro units.)
Anything from Packet Capture for those devices?
You should be able to see the traffic to/from those devices. I believe they route to a cloud based system to validate their authorization. I dont know offhand what IP space those cloud servers run or their locations but you could be locked down from that aspect.
No packet capture yet, but I’ll get that going; thanks for the suggestion.
tl;dr: Set “Forward Unknown Multicast Traffic” to “Flood” on the network(s) for the cameras and monitor stations, in Ubiquiti Network Application → Settings → Networks.
Alright, I got this fixed. First off, is RTSP multicast or unicast? For some reason, this question lingers over me any time I have trouble with RTSP traffic of ANY sort. I know it’s unicast, but this question is what led me to the fix.
In the Unifi Network Application → Settings → Networks, there is an option to “Forward Unknown Multicast Traffic”. Since deploying Ubiquiti access points years ago, I’ve had this set to “Drop”. I just changed it to “Flood” and selected the Default network (which is configured for IGMP snooping), and BAM, RTSP setup on my Cam v3 cameras works immediately. SUCCESS.
Thanks for coming along with me on this journey of discovery. 
fyi, im enrolled in the beta program, i had a v3 4.36.8.15 fw released December 2021, and i was able to to do multiple updates right upto the rtsp beta fw 4.36.16.5654 successfully, all within the official wyze app, i enabled rtsp and i could change wifi ssid within the app, no sdcard flash needed. tried it with my other v3 but i could not stream or log into it after first update request, meaning i have to go on a ladder, winter here, and hit the reset button
finally got blue iris v5 and my wifi ap’s setup correctly for streaming and recording pan v3 as i had one wifi ap not working correctly with the beta rtsp, i have a few wifi access points running, one key factor for blue iris is to use the vlc model option and for wifi cameras is to keep watchdog enabled, no options need to be checked but just being enabled keeps the stream alive. now i just need a working ptz configuration for blue iris
@WyzeEric Are you expecting to have RTSP for v4 cams soon? @WyzeDave said January was target for v4, which clearly hasn’t panned out. Also, does Wyze have plans to enable RTSP for doorbell cams too?
Side-note. Do you know if Wyze has plans of integrating with Home Assistant? It’s been requested since at least 2018. 8 YEARS later I’m guessing not. I love Wyze, but their lack of integration is disappointing (especially when unpaid volunteers have been able to figure it out).
Hello! I realize soon is relative and it will never been “soon enough” for those anticipating this feature that I really wish we would have baked in when we launched these cameras but I am super glad the team is implementing it now (finally). From what I can tell the team is working to get RTSP into our most popular cameras codebase first and has quite a backlog but still making great progress. I did read internally that dev team started incorporating RTSP code for v4 last month (Jan) and planned to start internal testing too.
Unfortunately, I do not know if Wyze has plans for an official HA integration but RTSP is a great way to integrate with HA and other platforms. I can tell you that I was a first hand witness that Wyze really does listen and care about their users (like you) when the unofficial HA integration was overloading our API servers instead of blocking them to shut it down (easy path) we worked with the unpaid volunteers to help keep it running.
Thanks for the update! 
I can understand if things take longer. It’s just nice to hear updates every so often.
@WyzeEric is it possible to run the cameras on rtsp only mode. Basically turn off all internet communication and just have the cameras expose the rtsp feed (with router configurations) on an internal intranet only mode?
If you want rtsp only with no connection to Wyze cloud at all, You may be interested in looking up the Thingino firmware and load that firmware on the Wyze camera models that support it:
are you able to comment on battery cameras? i exclusively have a battery cam pro plugged in 24/7 to power. i would like to have rtsp on this device…all it would take is a toggle-warning about battery drain before turning on rtsp, so those who try are aware it wont be good if running solely on battery. please?
I just wanted to hop on and say that this is just brilliant! I was able to hook it into Frigate easily, and the flexibility is great! I can’t wait for v4 support!
@carverofchoice When using RTSP, is there a part of the Wyze framework that needs to be “allowed“ for the cam to continue functioning? I personally use it in both ways, but your previous post made me wonder. 
That’s a good question. I know cofounder Dave mentioned during development that they were looking into multiple options. They wanted to allow it to be able to function completely offline, but he had indicated that making that happen might have some obstacles to overcome in the firmware. He originally said they might have to require people use a “Patch” on an SD card to be able to run it completely offline, otherwise the cameras may need to initially authenticate when they turn on/restart and then you can shut off the internet after that. I think they also had to disable a feature that was set to auto-restart cameras that lose connectivity for x minutes (meant to help people with bad connectivity issues by forcing the camera to pull a fresh handshake with their router).
I recall some people confirmed they are definitely able to use these cameras on the new firmware without internet and the RTSP stream keeps working, but I don’t know if they also tried restarting the camera without internet and verified whether the RTSP stream would start back up with the stream after a restart without internet, and thus without authenticating with the Wyze server after a restart. This is an issue we have had in the past with previous RTSP firmware and even recording to SD cards, etc when cameras restart but can’t authenticate first. I am not sure if anyone totally verified that yet. So it is possible that these cameras still require initial authentication after a restart and THEN they will work completely offline indefinitely until they restart.
It should also be mentioned that that these cameras do still require internet to initially activate and set them up in the Wyze app. So they will at least be cloud dependent during setup.
However, Thingino firmware referenced above is absolutely 100% local. No cloud needed during setup or after a restart. I hope that clarifies.
Is panning supported on the Cam Pan v3 with this firmware update and RTSP enabled? If so, how is it used? I’m using Blue Iris and updated one of my Pan v3’s. I’m able to stream and have audio in Blue Iris, but not the pan controls.
no panning, might not ever be enabled
FYI, I am confirming with the internal dev team (waiting on a response). I also have one of the new Solar Pan Cam which has a battery but I use one of these POE to usb c adapters to power/charge from a far distance in my yard instead of using the solar panel so I do not have to deal with the Power Save Mode experience.
This would be nice if the camera didn’t require internet access to work. At least in my testing if I block access to the WAN in my openwrt router the rtsp stream no longer works like the original RSTP firmware did years ago. I don’t want my camera streaming leaving my network to phone home to Wyze. Am I doing something wrong or has someone replicated this issue?
So far I am unable to view the stream on my local network once I block WAN access, once I allow access to the internet the stream works again.
