I’m a die hard blue iris user but really like these V3 Pans and decided to spend the day connecting up a Raspberry Pi4, loading docker and running the Wyze RTSP bridge. Accessing their API using 2FA was the biggest pain but overall pretty easy. I’m amazed how that little Pi can keep up with 4 HD streams with no loss or latency. This way I can still use the web portal for a quick view of my Wyze cams when I’m remote and access my BlueIris webserver if needed.
Next step is to connect the streams to Blue Iris and see how that goes.
If anybody has done this and has any tips or advice, let me know. If anyone cares, I’ll post some results here.
Just as a current PSA for anyone who also uses or wants to use Docker Wyze Bridge for something like this, if you’re one of the people who are having problems with v2.7 within the last 1-2 weeks from the time of this post, there are a lot of people reporting that they fixed their issues by reverting back to v2.6 instead while the Docker Wyze Bridge people look into what the issue is with v2.7.
Thanks. Pretty sure I’m running the latest version since I made sure do do updates on everything.
Was wrong about latency. Seeing about 10 seconds. Frame rate is excellent even with 4 cams ar HD. Don’t really understand how the frame rate is still so high while there is such latency.
Haven’t messed with Linux in 30 years when SCO came out and need to dig into the delay.
Blue Iris connects to the RTSP port @ 8554 and the bridge responds with available public commands, but the DESCRIBE request just bombs out. Not sure if there is another authentication issue.
Now running Blue Iris with 4 V3 PAM cams connected with docker-wyze-bridge along side my other wired high end PTZ cameras. I’m amazed the frame rates on the Wyze V3 CAM PANs are actually faster than the other hard wired cams connected at 100 Mb/s and passed into my 1 Gb/s LAN. Kudos to the developers of the bridge and the engineering inside the V3. Looking forward to 4K and ONVIF support but this will do for a while.
FWIW: You were right about 2.7
2.7 causes delays in displayed videos the accumulate. Timestamp is off by second every minute, 2 seconds after 2 mins, etc, etc, etc.
Camera video was off almost 20 minutes after running for the entire day. Reverting back to 2.6 was a magic bullet. My timestamp is less than 1 second off across 8 cameras. From what I read they tried to fix the problem of audio lag and didn’t get it quite right
