I finally got around to load a V2 with RTSP, and can’t see why I wouldn’t use it on all of them?

downsides? I dont use RTSP myself as there are other features I want with my cameras, but here are a few minor takeaways I’ve gotten since it’s release. no person detection previously and I don’t believe there ever will be( when Wyze releases their version) some people have issue with it discon…

What’s CMC? And that forum mod with the funny hat replied in another post last week that someone was working on it, and that was all he could/would say.

CMC stands for complete motion capture. I could give you the low down on it, but why muddy the waters when Wyze can explain it much better and clearer than I can. :slight_smile: CMC details and when you say MOD with the funny hat, im going to guess that you are talking about LOKI …

Ahh… I think the whole part of RTSP is that either you’re not interested in a subscription service, or you just want to view your cams on something other than a tablet or firestick. Some sort of cheap 40" flat screen perish the thought. I think it may be that first part of people not wanting a su…

yes, agreed. a lot of people wanted a way to put the stream directly to a backup server/ hard drive so they could basically fill a full hard drive with continuous footage similar to that of a standard security system too.

Ok, so I may have found a drawback. I did a short hour and a half Timelapse on my one V2 with RTSP firmware. Now I did stop the Timelapse early (stop & save), and it did show in the album, but every time I tried to download it, it would say file not present. After rebooting everything backwards …

Do you want the camera to provide functionality for you? If so, use the software created by Wyze. They are committed to implementing person detection, improving motion tracking, and generally building on their existing user experience. Do you want to manage what functionality is available yourself?…

I want Wyze to do what they said and implement the two together. There is nothing that makes the two mutually exclusive. Except maybe a locked in business model. btw, Both versions were created by Wyze. And they were/are(?) committed to RTSP, but I really don’t expect either because of the flood…

The thing that’s making the two mutually exclusive is the amount of space available on the camera to support either RTSP or the native firmware. They can’t both be on there right now.

@DeanSmith is correct. With the current camera offerings, Wyze is unable to merge the two because of lack of space on them. However, there is a Wishlist thread for a hypothetical V3 camera.
