I believe it was estimated that the beta release of the RTSP firmware for the v4 cams was January of 2026. Since that has come and gone, I was hoping to get an updated estimate on when this may be released. I am trying to decide if it’s still worth waiting for, or revert to a previous firmware that worked with RTSP applications. (The latest v4 firmware in Dec 2025 broke every 3rd party RTSP implementation)
For those who haven’t yet seen it, this message from this morning is the most recent official mention I’ve seen about RTSP for Cam v4:
Please keep in mind that, as primarily a user-to-user support community, there is no guarantee that anyone from Wyze will see or respond to a given topic or post here in the Forum and that when Wyze employees do post it’s often in the official Wyze News and/or Beta categories.
Doesn’t look like the v4 RTSP firmware will be released anytime soon, so I just flashed all my v4 cams back to the official firmware version 4.52.9.4188. Went perfectly on 5 cameras, and all are back to working with 3rd party RTSP implementations. (In case anyone else was thinking about it.)
So, you are saying that if I revert my Wyze Cam V4 to 4.52.9.4188, I can then swap over to a different firmware which enables RTSP? Or does 4.52.9.4188 have RTSP built in or something?
If you have a little more details on how you accomplished this, I’d love to know.
I’d love to use my v4 cams inside Frigate using this method.
No, they’re saying that the 3rd party programs that rely on the old authentication require you to downgrade to the previous firmware. There is no RTSP firmware for the v4 yet, not even beta as far as I know.
Those programs (like Tiny Cam etc) actually use your wyze login to access the cams. A new version of Tiny Cam came out and I think now supports the latest firmware, but there are others like Wyze Bridge that aren’t updated yet (wyze bridge converts the wyze stream into RTSP so you can then send it on to an app that uses RTSP).
Gotcha well that’s pretty cool. Do you happen to know if something like Scrypted can bridge over a Cam V4 stream into something that accepts RTSP streams?
Ideally I’d like to stay away from things overly bloated, but just find a way to expose an RTSP stream for Frigate (which is NOT running inside Home Assistant).
I have no idea but you’d need to build an interface into the Wyze API and that’s no small task.
Wyze Bridge which can run in a docker container on a NAS or low powered Linux PC does exactly what you’re looking for. I believe Tiny Cam Pro (paid) can do it too but I’m not 100% sure. @carverofchoice can probably confirm.
Should even be able to run Wyze Bridge on windows using Windows Subsystem for Linux.
FYI Scrypted basically copied Docker Wyze Bridge into itself, so it is actually using Docker Wyze bridge inside of it. If you want to avoid bloat then you would use Wyze Bridge without Scrypted. I’m fact, when I asked about it in the Scrypted Discord server, most people using Scrypted actually recommended using Wyze bridge separately instead of the one included within Scrypted, though they said it does work either way.
Best options are as follows:
Just wait for the official release from Wyze for RTSP instead of a conversion bridge.
Use Tiny Cam Pro on an old Android phone or through an Android emulator to convert the streams to RTSP (or another format)
Use docker Wyze Bridge (or Scrypted) to convert the steam to RTSP… But you might have to flash the firmware back to an earlier version that is compatible with the earlier security protocols that recent updates break.
Hopefully an RTSP firmware comes out for the v4 sooner or later.
In the mean time I am setting up docker wyze bridge - currently having issues which may be docker related (cam shows up, stream does not) but I’ll try this method and see how it goes.
That’s the issue - I am. Thinking it may be a docker or networking issue, though it didn’t work in scrypted either which is why I tried docker wyze bridge.
OK, so probably not that. People are reporting that stepping back 1 version has fixed 3rd party connectivity so I don’t think you’d need to go further back than that.
Maybe something in your docker implementation is blocking UDP traffic or something.
I suppose you could try version 1134 before Verified View was implemented but I don’t think that should be needed based on what other have said. Might be worth a try to rule it out though.
FYI, my understanding is that the latest version of the standalone mrlt8/docker-wyze-bridge is v2.10.3 while the current version of the built-in Scrypted Wyze Plugin may be as low as 0.0.52 and may not have all the ongoing compatibility updates that the standalone version has made. I recall there have been multiple breakage periods for the Wyze Bridge, and it’s likely that Scrypted didn’t patch them all when Docker Wyze Bridge did.
