Wyze Cam

There are many camera's that are supported by Homebridge Plugins that also work with their native app. I have Nest camera and they work. Also I have some Wyze camera's that can be setup with the Real Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP) and their is a homebridge plugin for that. In-Fact any RTSP camera can be used. Using homebridge does not disable your use of the native app so there are solutions that will work for you. Remember, most Homekit enabled cameras also have a native app for android as well as IOS.

I have three Wyze cameras and have been running the RTSP software on them but it’s hit or miss on whether they will work or not. Tonight I wanted a little better reliability so I installed the latest “regular” firmware on one camera. That loses the RTSP connection to HB/HK but OK, I knew that. Well, that software doesn’t work either, and it is the latest. So, what are my options? I have looked at several inexpensive cameras from China but can’t decipher whether they would support RTSP. They all say to use their own app, some even say that Windows support is available but nothing about …

Hey there OP! So, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but you can’t use that plugin with Wyze Cams. But hope is not lost though! There are MANY ways to work around this. However it is worth noting I am unsure if this will effect your existing sensors. 1. You can install the Wyze RTSP firmware and use Homebridge-camera-ffmpeg. This is a solid method of adding them, and very popular! 2. You can flash the Dafang Hacks firmware on them and use either Homebridge Camera FFMPEG or Homebridge-Dafang to stream them. The benefit of this method is you can use their motion sensing to send notifications …
