I use my Android phones to see the Wyze cams but often I would prefer to use my computer (Windows 10). The only way I have found to do this is with BlueStacks but I don’t need that program for anything else and it is a resource hog. Any chance of getting an app just for the Wyze cams for Windows?

Wyze needs to get on the ball and make these items available. It would really be nice to be able to watch and control our cameras from our desktop. Please get this going.
Thanks.
Good news, since Wyze dropped support for RTSP I began to look for another cam solution. For many automation folks out there, who needs to use cams in conjuntion with HomeAssistant or OpenHub, we need to see at least our cams in our browser. Perhaps WebRTC can do the job as well. My upvote for a web version, not a desktop one, everyone has a browser, but not everyone uses Windows or mac, specially if you are using HA or OH.
EDITED: I can see it seem they changed their mind and a month ago and released a newer RTSP firmware version and they say now they eventually release a beta firmware
So, my information was outdated, but who knows, they can change their mind again. I hope they don’t.
Agree. Anyway, it sounds ambiguous to me when they stated “Using the RTSP firmware will prevent the camera from supporting any future functionality additions and bug fixes”. For me that means end of support by all means.
If you see the newer announce, they removed preisely that statement. Don’t know if because they recognize that sounded ambiguous or because many people complained about end of support for the beta firmware last year and the reconsidered to release a newer beta version this year.
Anyway, it’s a good new they still release a version with RTSP, I’m going to burn it on my cams as soon as I can to integrate them into HA.
With a new camera coming out, I wished they would focus on getting a windows interface. A lot of my friends use PC or Mac and only use their phone for calls. After all this time, this wish list item is still listed as researching with 3673 votes. I guess this and dark-mode are hopeless requests.
Yes. I can understand not supporting FTP, or Home Assistant, or SD card improvements, or even RTSP. None of those encourages the Wyze ecosystem directly. But letting us view cameras in a browser or on a PC/Mac ? A no brainier that instantly makes the product line much more attractive and usable…
I gave up on Bluestacks long ago. I don’t know all the technical reasons why this seems to be such an impossible task. But for me I would much prefer being able to see my cameras on my computers than on a phone. And I don’t need or want to see them on the internet. Plus I get so tired of everything like this nowadays requires opening another account with (of course) another blasted password. But maybe that’s just me.
