Hey Vishnu, sorry I don't think you can. Last I checked, outdoor cam was never provided this firmware.

[@netdoctor1]

Be advised that if you replace your firmware with the RTSP enabled, you will no longer receive FW upgrades to your individual cameras. Wyze has stated that they will not continue to support and develop both firmware platforms. They will continue to update the legacy FW for both versions of Wyzecam. And you can always revert back using this same procedure and the non-RTSP FW.

[@JM_and_Nats_House]

First of all thank you Brian for the excellent videos. I have a couple of questions to ask. First when you downloaded the actual file and re-named it a .bin file, what type of file extension did your laptop or computer assign to it? It was hard to tell on your video but it looked like a notepad file. For me initially it was a VLC file???? I couldn’t make out what type of file you showed us on your computer but I I assumed it would be opened with notepad because the icon on your screen looks like a notepad icon. Therefore I changed the properties of the file to open up with notepad and that did not work either. Initially when the file was downloaded it was downloaded as a dot VLC file which I found strange. As you said to do and As it was the described on the wyze support page, I downloaded the correct file and now I’m not sure if it’s the SD card which must not exceed 32 GB, the file extension is wrong, or before my computer SD formatting begins, it provides me with only two ways to format the card space ExFat as a default or NTFS? Any advice would be great, thanks again for the excellent videos, and thank you very much from Ottawa!

[@AutomateYourLife]

Hey! So lots to explain: The file is downloaded as a .bin (stands for binary) which is an executable file. It’s a program in its basic form. So, I renamed the name of the file, but it’s was always a .bin and therefore nothing changed that way. As for what your computer recognizes it as...it’s basically the way your computer thinks it should open a .bin file. Basically, ignore this for the purposes of what you’re doing here because it doesn’t matter.

[@AutomateYourLife]

The SD card needs to be greater than 32 GB so that it is an SDXC type

[@AutomateYourLife]

Fat32 is the formatting you need! Just don’t choose NTFS :)

[@JM_and_Nats_House]

Hello again Brian and thanks for the really quick reply. I just read all three of your comments and everything makes sense. I double checked my microSD card is a SanDisk 64 GB SDXC, I have formatted it three or four times (never using NTFS), and I have always renamed the download file “demo.bin”. This must be the fifth time that I follow all of the directions and unfortunately as you say in your video I’ve had to reprogram the camera. LOL! Again, thanks for answering all of my questions. I’ll keep on plugging away at it and I’ll let you know if I can figure out the issue. Have a good evening and keep up the great work!

Hi there, I plan to get a Wyze cam and do the RTSP firmware update so that I can access the camera feed in Home Assistant. Does the camera also stream audio from the camera's microphone? One of the uses I plan for such a camera is to use one to keep an eye on the backyard, but mostly to determine if the dogs are barking or not, thus would require the stream's audio.

[@AutomateYourLife]

Hey Glen - I should have said this! Yes, it does stream the audio...good question.

[@LeadAllSoulsToHeaven]

Thanks Brian I was looking for this info for a long time just didn't know the technical terms to find it lol. Almost went down a rabbit hole with raspberry Pi 😬 Q1: does this work with v3's? Q2: what kind of small monitor can I view it on besides like Google nest or something expensive as I don't own any Alexa or Google tech. I just want something affordable and basic seperate from my computer for viewing, if that's possible? Q3: can I view all cams at the same time, like 4x4 split screen? Thanks so much Brian I will be checking out your other vids.

[@AutomateYourLife]

Hey, so yep this should work with V3's! I believe that's on the article on Wyze's website. Might need a slightly different firmware, so check out their page. As for your other questions. The Nest Hub and Echo Shows will show your Wyze Cams regardless of RTSP being used. RTSP can help you pipe video to some of those other security systems though, so that's when you'd use this. And that would open up your other options. :)

[@izsakitt3711]

Why does streaming stop after some minutes? - VLC and other apps as well, under WIN10 Is it the WYZE camera? It really is not useful for continuous security application

[@macster1457]

I tried this, but the video feed is slow, it looks like in slow motion and I notice is skips frames a lot. This does not happen when viewing the video on the app. My Wyze cam is about 8 feet from the router and I have a pretty fast router, Asus RT-AC68P. This RTSP option is a good idea, but not very reliable for security purposes as there is a fairly big delay of about 8-10 seconds of the actual video capture... if someone passes in front of the camera, it takes about 10 seconds for it to show on VLC.... but on the app, it's instant.

[@AutomateYourLife]

I would agree with this assessment, having used it now for some time. It’ll also mess with the network overall

how to RTSP on your PC when the IP cam is on a hotspot network via your cell phone. note, I can't use the 192.168... address because the PC and IP cam are on different network.

[@AutomateYourLife]

You'd have to have the IP to your phone to even try, but I don't think you could do it. Your phone's not a router and it's not going to allow port forwarding that you might need to do.

I just installed the beta firmware (v4.28.4.41 ) to get RTSP and both cameras work for a few mins and then the stream just ends. I have to kill VLC and restart it before I can reconnect. I haven't tried it on my Android devices yet but this is kind of disappointing. The funny thing is this firmware made my cameras start to send notifications and capture video.

I don't think there are major drawbacks. There's a bit of a security differential. I mean, anyone with the URL and access to the URL (which contains username/pass) can see an un-encrypted video stream. RTSP is by design un-encrypted. It's still hard for the average person to get any of that, so I tend to say as long as you're not putting this camera in your private locations in your home...you're good. Wyze explained in their update that they couldn't manage to do a firmware update over their usual process. This had to be self-executed as an entirely separate firmware.

[@FlightSim2703]

Rebooted phone, installed application on my tablet, installed application on second phone all have exactly the same esues.

[@AutomateYourLife]

Hmmmm, it sounds like we've got an update issue. I'll make sure I let Wyze know Brian!

[@mrfeast391]

Does the sd card have to stay in the camera ?

[@AutomateYourLife]

Nope!

[@UAG]

Hey any ideas on house to automate wyze sense

[@AutomateYourLife]

Yeah I’m just waiting for mine to come! I’m in Canada, so I had to get a friend to route it up here!

[@overling1]

rtsp is not stable. cameras lose connection a lot and video recording on the regular app appears to stop as well. so its kind of useless at this stage

[@AutomateYourLife]

I am not having that problem. Is this something that’s widespread because I haven’t seen that either?

[@overling1]

Automate Your Life glad to hear you are not. It’s random between the two cameras I have but the other form of connection keeps working. Which would be ok except that they no longer record events to the sd card in the camera. So if Rstp crashes motioneye doesn’t record events and the camera doesn’t record events. I’ll try dropping to sd instead of hd and see if it helps

[@AutomateYourLife]

I’d look at the card! Maybe try swapping that. I will say the camera is getting close to being overloaded with RTSP, local recording, cloud recording and sensors...so I could see with you trying to do all that, that maybe you’re running into issues

[@overling1]

Automate Your Life for some reason they no longer local record after installing the rtsp firmware

[@amhadora9591]

No matter what I do I can't get it to work.

[@AutomateYourLife]

I'd suggest you chat with Wyze then at this point!

[@oldmaninthemirror]

Can I send you a couple of photos from my Iphone?

[@AutomateYourLife]

Of course :). Check the about page for my email!

[@jimmyspartacus6]

how far do u think this would work outside from you're wifi

[@AutomateYourLife]

I'd say if you're below two bars on your wifi...it's not going to work well.

[@jimmyspartacus6]

@@AutomateYourLife would a wifi extender work

[@AutomateYourLife]

Yep, but...what I’ll tell you is that they will tie up some of your bandwidth all the time. Make sure it has good specs for that, because it’s essentially streaming day at all the time :) I ran into this with my Nest Cams. They need 802.11ac. My extender has AC, but my router had n. It was a disaster for that cam and when I switched my router, it got obviously better.

[@jimmyspartacus6]

@@AutomateYourLife could I use through window at night i know reflection can be prob

[@AutomateYourLife]

Yeah reflection is a real pain for them! Try an extender is my suggestion :)

[@AaronPowell]

How could you Stream wyze cam to KZbin?

[@AutomateYourLife]

Webcam.io will do the conversion from RTSP URL to RTMP stream. :)

[@GuidoLoko]

@@AutomateYourLife Ur So Smart Bro!!! I don't even bother with other ppl's vids anymore cause u have us spoiled with how easy and to the point you make everything. Brian is tha Man ! ! ! ! 😁😁😁😁

[@AutomateYourLife]

Thanks Guido! We are trying!

[@BrianAkaBear]

Tried it like 20 times and it didn't work.

[@AutomateYourLife]

You can give some details and I can try and help.

[@BrianAkaBear]

@@AutomateYourLife I appreciate your time, thank you. I made a video to explain a little more. i think its the SD card "kinda". kzbin.info/www/bejne/iKGtaJ6ogLCUbbM What SD card did you use? One card didn't even get it to programming mode. the other 2 did, but got stuck in programming mode for 20 minutes before i unplugged and tried again to no avail.

[@BrianAkaBear]

@@AutomateYourLife FIXED!!!! I didn't format the SD card to Fat32. Once you do that and copy the file over everything works!!!!!

[@AutomateYourLife]

Great! Yeah, for any SD card put into Wyze, you'll need to format to Fat 32. :)

[@GuitarLessonCharts]

can it use a local ip?

[@AutomateYourLife]

What do you mean by local IP? What do you want to do specifically?

[@GuitarLessonCharts]

@@AutomateYourLife I'm wondering if I can access it remotely in anyway shape or form via access the sd or live stream with wifi but no internet.

[@AutomateYourLife]

So theoretically, it should work but there have been software bugs that have plagued the offline capabilities

[@jimmyspartacus6]

great video

[@AutomateYourLife]

Thanks Jimmy - I hope it helps!

[@georgegardner1500]

Is Rtsp still an option?

[@AutomateYourLife]

Yep!

[@jimtonelli6584]

[@badboyslll]
