Does Wyze support streaming the video feed from a computer? ---

You can [Flash the Firmware](https://support.wyzecam.com/hc/en-us/articles/360022732931-Wyze-Cam-Firmware) for [RTSP](https://support.wyzecam.com/hc/en-us/articles/360026245231-Wyze-Cam-RTSP) into your cam and then use a compatible video player like VLC to stream. I’ve tried a couple of others but have had no success using my older laptop. ---

I use Motioneye/Motion on my ubuntu system to stream video from multiple cameras. It supports RTSP/ONVIF/USB cams. It also does motion sensing, alerts, video and still images. I have it working currently with Amcrest and Wyze cameras (using RTSP). Forgot to mention, it is free. ![Screenshot_2020-01-02 gumby](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/wyze/original/2X/1/12d4bfddfbb2f65a44c02b1ad04c7923e6fd9898.png) ---

VLC will only stream one camera correct? I will check out Motioneye/Motion on ubuntu as I have an old laptop that can run this. I am guessing I will still be able to see it on the app if I flash it. I posted this and put in a ticket to get information quicker one way or another. I would like to check up on my house while I am at work. ---

The Wyze cams work with the Wyze application after flashing with RTSP firmware. The main disadvantage is that the RTSP firmware is a fork of the main version and isn’t being maintained with regular updates. You lose certain features such as person detection. As to VLC, it is primarily a one to one thing …one video stream at a time. You theoretically can open multiple instances but I didn’t find that useful. ---

I have attempted to do this and all i get is it saying ready to connect. I have followed the instructions by disconnecting the camera, waiting 5 seconds, hitting setup and then putting the power back in. I see blue for like less than 1 second. ---

Are you holding the reset button on the bottom of the camera during the power up? I found it very difficult to hold so you may need some sort of “tool” to press it during the bootup process. ---

I was able to get it. I think I had to put the card in the camera nad format FAT32 as it is normally formatted NTFS. ---

You are very correct that it is a pain to do the reset. Wyze should have the following items on their roadmap - easier set up button location and configuration - native live streaming support - support for ntfs file systems - support for 5ghz wifi signal - support for wired network connection The last two are just items that I am pretty sure would increase the cost of the cameras but they are suggestions nonetheless. I think the first two are much higher priorities.
