RTSP on a V3

Cameras

1

I am trying to set up my V3 camera with RTSP so I can stream it to Youtube.

I downloaded an ISO and flashed the firmware. I installed OBS Studio.

In the Wyze app, I tried to set up RTSP and it says the camera firmware needs to be updated to use this feature.

I did and it hasn’t helped.

I don’t know what to do, or if it’s even possible

What should I do, or is there an easier way?

What firmware version is your V3 camera?

I just looked at a couple of mine and the have the RTSP setup on the Advanced Settings page with 4.36.16.6114 firmware.

My thoughts:

  1. Clarify which Cam you’re using. You tagged your topic for Cam Pan v3, but the firmware version @K6CCC mentioned is for (non-Pan) Cam v3.
  2. Share the versions of both your Cam’s firmware and the Wyze app you’re using.
  3. Consult the Wyze RTSP Testing Instructions if you haven’t already done so.
  4. Confirm that you can view the stream in VLC as described in the instructions.
  5. If you’re able to consume the stream in VLC and still having problems with OBS, then see if a local firewall is causing the OBS issue. That’s what I ran into when I tried using OBS for RTSP with Cam Pan v3 a couple of months ago.

I did not notice the tag, only the topic subject - hence the V3 reference…

Looked at one of my V3 Pan cameras and with firmware version 4.50.16.6242 and the RTSP settings are available.

Make sure you’re running the latest release wyze app too (in addition to making sure you have the latest release firmware already mentioned in this thread).

You need 3.11.x app to work with the latest firmware.

I have 3.11.6

That is the exact version I have

  1. It’s the V3. I wasn’t able to type in my own tags, I had to choose from a drop down menu and didn’t notice it said Cam Pan v3

  2. Camera 4.36.16.6114 App v3.11.6 (765)

  3. I printed them out and am working through them. I did create an API key

  4. No luck there yet. I’ve tried it with the RTSP address and adding my user name and password before the RTSP address. I’m using the secure RTSP
    5. I’ll check the firewall

    Thank you for this help. It really helped me

    I’m using OBS studio on my PC. I tried to download it to my Android tablet, but what I found in the Play Store didn’t seem to be it

With VLC, I am trying

rtsps//192.168.1.196:322/stream0 and

rtsps://username:password@rtsps://192.168.1.196:322/stream0

I got rtsp set up in the app

Thanks for the info. I changed it to reflect your use of Cam v3.

That’s not necessary just to get access to the RTSP stream, but you might get other benefits from that. I’ve never created one because I haven’t had a use for it, and I’ve been able to stream via RTSP into several different PC-based applications.

The 3rd Party Software Compatibility table of the Wyze RTSP Testing Instructions indicates that Wyze’s RTSPS doesn’t work with VLC, so I wouldn’t spend a lot of time attempting that. (I’ve tried and have not been successful.) I would switch the Cam to RTSP mode and try that instead.

I’d try to get VLC working with regular RTSP first. Once you can do that and have it streaming, then you can see if you can get the proper URL working in OBS without mucking with the firewall. If you can stream into VLC but not OBS, then look at the firewall. That’s how I’d approach it (essentially what I did).

I got it working with VLC and OBS Studio.

And I have a live stream of a rabbit nest on Youtube.

Thank you all very much!

Nice! I saw your pre-edit post before you got it working on YouTube, so I bookmarked it to return to later. Good to know you got it working! :+1:

It’s funny that this is what you’re streaming, because when I was thinking about an example that I might actually consider streaming on YouTube, this is exactly what came to mind. :grin:

I have a wyze cam on mine right now too, but just to monitor to make sure mom comes back. Neighbor’s dog got one of them last night and had to box the nest in to protect the other 3.

Other than that its a pretty boring view at this point, just a mound of grass. It was in the 20s here last night, hopefully there’s still life in there. She’s due for the first feed sometime overnight tonight, fingers crossed.

They’re a pain and a nuisance on my plants and shrubs but I grew up with a pet rabbit so it is hard to hate them.

I’m sure you know but be aware that like 1 in 10 at best survive, usually the nest gets raided by something (may not want to see that you youtube). I guess that’s why they each have like 30 a year.

I have lawn chairs around the nest to discourage our 70 pound Goldendoodle from getting to the nest.

There was a third. I ran my mower right over the nest, not knowing it was there. The late rabbit was laying on his back and squirming a lot. I didn’t see any blood.

Yeah around here if they make it past the mowers and dogs (no mowers yet, too early in the season right now) the coyotes, foxes, cats, racoons, etc get them. Even saw a possum raid a nest once and they’re not supposed to eat living things…..

How did you make it working with VLC ? I have the same versions but not able to see the feed.

Here’s the link I used

rtsp://username:password@192.168.1.196/stream0

I got this 192.168.1.196 from the advanced settings/rtsp in the wyze app. That’s a colon between the username and password

I have 4 Wyze V3 cameras and only got it to work with one of them
