Yeah I got it working. It streams ok. Going to bed now. I’ll post my config.json file up tomorrow. I didn’t use OMX.

I just found that exact comment and confirmed my Wyze v2 cams are FINALLY working with that config. It has taken me a few days of messing with them to finally get it working. I'm only using the Wyze RTSP beta firmware but would like to try the Dafang Hacks next.

I posted this over on the Hoobs page but then thought maybe this one might get more exposure. I have updated my camera to the latest Wyze Beta RTSP firmware and am able to see the stream from VLC. I am running version 3.1.20 version of Hoobs with FFMPEG built-in. I also installed the plugin Camera-FFMPEG and have the camera recognized by Homekit but get the notification "No Response" when I open the camera from Homekit. I followed this thread to get it up and running. When I run "debug" I get the following message in the log "\[Homebridge\] \[1/20/2020, 09:52:19\] \[Camera ffmpeg\] ERROR: …

I have Homebridge running on Ubuntu Server 18.04 using the homebridge-camera-ffmpeg plugin: https://github.com/homebridge-plugins/homebridge-camera-ffmpeg#readme I followed many guides and with a ton of trial and error i have audio working with Wyze Cam V2's using the RTSP firmware from Wyze. I had to download and compile FFMPEG with libfdk-aac. Here's what worked for me, as well as the camera settings in the Homebridge config: `### Homebridge Camera-FFmpeg Plugin ###` `### install build tools` `sudo apt-get install git pkg-config autoconf automake libtool libx264-dev` `### download and build …

I am using my Waze V2 camera with HomeBridge via the HomeBridge-Camera-FFMPEG plugin, and I finally got the camera linked up but when I tap the still to open the video feed it takes a good 10-12 seconds. Mind you I'm running HomeBridge off my $7,000 workstation on a gigabit network. Is there any way I can speed this up? What I've tried: Several encoding methods Unbridged mode (manually added) Lowering bitrate and resolution Disabling audio Different networks Config: `"name": "Printer Camera","manufacturer": "Wyze","model": "V2","unbridge": false,"videoConfig": {"source": "-rtsp_transport tcp …

Hey Guys! I’ve added a wyze cam v2 to HomeKit via homebridge camera ffmpeg and it’s working honestly flawlessly. Streams is loading in >5sec, very good quality and sounds work. There’s only one feature that I don’t seem to understand and it’s the motion sensor. I’ve checked exemple online and everyone seems to simply turn the motion to true, but I don’t get much explanation. Is the motion sensor simply a dummy sensor? Or can it be tied through the software motion detection of the camera? Is the wyze v2 using HTTP? How does that work? Right now I’m running the rtsp firmware from Waze but …

This is cool but my experience with the RTSP firmware was poor at best. The v2 cams always started dropping frames and losing connection after a while.
