Note: For the firmware upgrades listed above, please ensure your app version is 3.8.5 or later.
If you are a shared user, please pay special attention—older app versions may cause camera connection issues. Updating the app should resolve the problem.
Yeah, you could ditch the Beta RTSP app way back when app version 3.9 launched. It was no longer needed once it was added into the v3.9 public app.
But some people might enjoy having a second app on their phone for various purposes. For example, I keep a some with specific filters saved in the events tab so it just automatically shows a specific set of filters instantly without me having to constantly adjust them for different purposes. There are some other potential benefits too, but regardless, the extra app is no longer needed (and is actually inferior), you can uninstall it.
So far do good on Wyze Cam v3. RTSP was a little sluggish within like the first 2 minutes and timed out connecting from Home Assistant with the generic camera. After 2 minutes it was ok.
Update. Was curious how Wyze implemented the “Change WiFi”.
Did they continue with the hybrid Bluetooth /WiFi solution where Bluetooth on was required.
Or did they take the hard road and design a wifi only solution. Not trivial and if it was they would have done it years ago.
My testing just proved it’s a wifi only solution. I turned off Bluetooth and changed my wifi without incident.
Just beware. It appears they changed the configuration then told the unit it was configuring. Result is you will hear the same responses as when you manually reconfigure ie “joining the network”. I was surprised when I heard this, but that’s ok.
Kudos Wyze for taking the hard road. It will payoff in the future.
Cam V3 will still restart itself automatically when the internet is out for more than 30 minutes. Once the camera is restarted then it will start recording with the timestamp of 2025-12-22 21:18, but the footage is still in the MicroSD correct folder continuing where it left off. As a result, there should be no gap on the timeline in the Wyze app now, but the actual timestamp in the footage will be based on the firmware build date (Dec 22). I double checked again to make sure the footage is in its correct folder in the microSD.
When I powercycle the camera and while my internet is turned off to simulate power outage, the footage will continue to record to the latest known folder and continue where it was stopped previously. This is a new behaviour and IMO much better than before where it was based on the firmware build date.
This actually addresses a critical issue before which I mentioned previously below:
AFAIK, this issue is finally fixed based on my early testing. Good work. I didn’t have a chance to test this with RTSP setup yet so I don’t know if the above behaviour will change.
Thanks. Yeah, I think they changed this on purpose so that people who use RTSP and then disable Internet access don’t keep having the camera restart. I know they talked about this at least. It’s great to get confirmation that they appear to have implemented it.
Yeah, they may very well implemented this change when they first introduced the RTSP 4.36.16.5055 firmware, but I was too lazy to manually install via microSD.
This sounds like the way my dash cams operate. The way they set the internal clock (if the battery is dead or the time has gotten off for some reason) is actually by reading the date and time of the most recent clip (so when you use the app to set the time, it changes the date/timestamp on the most recent clip, then the cam reads that to set the clock). Sounds like something similar is being done here. I’m guessing that the time is actually off by like 30 seconds or however long the outage was? When I set the time in my dash cams, I add 30 seconds to give me enough time to put the card in and boot up the cam.
30 seconds (or even 30 minutes) off is better than totally missing so it is a nice improvement. Hasn’t been an issue for me with fairly reliable power and internet. I did test at one point and with my router’s built in NTP server (which has an option to spoof responses to all NTP requests) I can unplug the internet and reboot a cam and it gets the correct time from the router, even though the internet is down. That’s another option some people might be able to use, but not that many routers support that unfortunately.
I have a GPS Stratum 1 NTP server that I took out of e-waste at one of our data centers. But since I don’t need microsecond accuracy, probably a bit overkill to set that up.
I updated the firmware on one of my V3s and good thing I didn’t do it on the rest. After the update it fails to load and I have to launch the app several times before it loads. I don’t have the issue on my iPhone. Not sure what’s causing it. The camera is the closest to the router, about three feet straight line of site through window.
I was optimistic seeing so many successes, but v4.36.16.5654 has bricked my Cam v3.
After updating from 4.36.16.5055 to 4.36.16.5654 through the app (WyzeBeta 3.9), the camera successfully installed the firmware but after rebooting it no longer connects in the app. I’ve restarted the camera and the app several times to no avail. “Failed to connect. Error: (code 23)”
Manually reinstalling 4.36.16.5055 and re-adding the device to the app gives me back a fully functional Cam v3.
