Two years and still not available on on PC… I just got the WYZE outdoor cameras, I think I may return them and just get a decent wired system.
I just plug my phone into my PC and use DEX as another window, or on aanother screen. Works perfectly to see 4 cams at a time
You can even use a spare phone for this option and leave it there dedicated as a wyze cam viewing system.
Many people that want to use a PC also want a large display. Others because they want to view from work, but aren’t allowed to connect to the company’s WiFi and can’t get a carrier signal (or aren’t allowed to use mobile phones at all).
Is DEX a phone app or computer software?
I have an iPhone but I use a windows pc.
DeX is specific to Samsung devices:
For anybody using MEmu Play on a Windows 11 PC, how do you get it to be on the same network as the Wyze camera, to be able to view it on the LAN, rather than over the Internet?
The forums here have discussed the “same LAN” topic, with some relevant router settings, but not how to do it with MEmu Play, which has a strange network setup, that doesn’t let me add the network the camera is on to it.
What I mean by viewing it is watching either the live view or the SD card history.
What I believe is supposed to happen on the phone, where both it and the camera are on the same name/ SSID network, is the network traffic doing this travels on my Wi-Fi LAN only, and doesn’t go out to the Internet to Wyze servers and then back to me from those servers.
Most of my viewing is done on the PC, using MEmu Play with the Wyze app.
When I got the alert from my ISP that I had used 75% of my allotted download capacity, I realized something wasn’t right.
In the MEmu Play emulator, I find the Internet is connected in some way, with a name it created that and settings I don’t understand, with no apparent way to tell it to connect to the same network the camera is on.
So my question here to those who use Android emulators to view their cameras on the PCs, is if they aren’t concerned with the excess Internet traffic created, and having to pay their ISP more, or have figured out how to have the emulator join the same network the camera is on.
Is this the “bridge connection” topic about emulators vs. local machines?
After following some directions on MEmu’s “LAN(Bridge Connection) Setup” help page and some tinkering, I got the “Bridged Network” option to work.
So now the MEmu Player shows up in the router’s “Attached Devices” screen, along with my Wyze camera.
(This change was done on the same day my ISP usage cycle starts over, so I’ll see how it does this month.)
UPDATE: I found that the similarly named “Mumu Player” is a much better emulator, and free.
Setting up its bridge network connection is much simpler than in MEmu Player.
