  • In today's video Rennie shows his neighbor Bubba, (and the rest of our Smarthome Riggs community) how to setup TinyCam Pro on a Fire Stick to monitor his Wyze Cams in real time. Which allows him to monitor his home from his office, using his Fire Stick. Or from anywhere in the world, using his Android tablet.
    Check out our video, and leave us a comment to tell us if you're using the TinyCam Pro app with your cameras. TinyCam Pro has been around for a while, (since way back when Rennie and I first started using Foscams for our smart home cameras) but we didn't learn about this kind of setup using more than 4 cams at a time, till we saw a video a few years back from our friends Bob & Sue over at Lucky Dawg Productions. You can check out their original video here, ( • Setting Up Tiny Cam Pr... ) and if you leave them a comment, let them know Smarthome Riggs sent you.

    Hello!
    I have an older fire stick model so the app isn’t available on it like you said. Do you have any other suggestions (besides upgrading the fire stick) in order to view my Wyze cams with it?

    • @SmarthomeRiggs
      @SmarthomeRiggs  6 місяців тому

      Unfortunately, the security required to view the updated firmware running on Wyze cameras, requires the newest version of TinyCam Pro, and that requires the updated FireOS on the newer sticks (any current gen fire stick with a blue Alexa button, or I have it running on fire TV 4K, and 4K max from the previous generation.) On older sticks the only option to view a Wyze camera is to press the Alexa (mic) button at the top and call that camera by name and bring the cameras up one at a time. I hope this helps you get the most out of your current equipment. Thanks for supporting the channel.

    • @SmarthomeRiggs
      @SmarthomeRiggs  8 місяців тому

      Sorry for the delayed response. Yes you will have to configure the cameras you want to see on each firestick. This is why I love the "copy/pasta" feature of TinycamPro. The biggest advantage of this is that it allows you to customize each stick to show only the specific cameras you want (if you have several like us.) There are several sticks that are setup for every compatible camera (4 per screen with 4 screens) this uses more resources, but allows me to cycle through them when needed, but most are set to show the main cams (Front, back, driveway and side yard.) I hope this helps you out, thank you for the comment, and thanks for supporting the channel.

    • @SmarthomeRiggs
      @SmarthomeRiggs  Рік тому +1

      This video shows an app called Tiny Cam Pro which allows several cameras to be viewed at once. There is currently no way for a motion event to launch this app. There is a way to write a routine for certain camera that will, on a motion event show the image of that specific camera on the fire stick and (with the 4K Max) even show that motion event in a picture in picture while you are watching something else. I hope this answers your question. Thank you for the comment and thanks for supporting the channel.

    • @SmarthomeRiggs
      @SmarthomeRiggs  Рік тому +1

      yes the order is determined by the order of the cameras in the Wyze app. If you have a Wyze outdoor plug or 1st gen doorbell, these have ghost items that will change the channel number by 1, but once you get the channel number for the top camera in your list, the others will be in order from there.

    I get a lot of those "P2P failed to start" errors constantly like you got at 6:34 any fix for that?

    • @SmarthomeRiggs
      @SmarthomeRiggs  Рік тому

      Thank you for the comment. This is an error from the camera itself losing it's connectivity (even briefly) the error displays because the app tolerance is low. Sometimes the camera will refresh itself. Sometimes I've had to close out the app, clear its cache and relaunch it. In my case, this error was due to a loss of signal strength at that location. In the Tinycam Pro app you can turn on info like signal and frame rate, that allowed me to narrow down the issue and adjust my network accordingly. I hope this helps.

      The channel is determined by the order of the cameras in the actual Wyze app. If you have a Wyze outdoor plug or 1st gen doorbell, these have ghost items that will change the channel number by 1, but once you get the channel number for the top camera in your list, the others will be in order from there. Also if you choose a channel that is not correct the TinyCam Pro app error on the screen should show you what channels you have devices on. Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment.

    Is there a Pacific fire stick model to use my last one just died

    • @SmarthomeRiggs
      @SmarthomeRiggs  7 місяців тому

      I would say any of the new generation sticks should work, but I'd say the latest gen 4k Max is my 1st choice, then the current 4K model. As long as it is running Fire OS 6, it should run the latest version of TinyCam Pro. I have a Fire TV Stick (2nd gen) but it only runs Fire OS 5.2.9.5 and it will install the current version of TinyCam Pro but it will not allow connection to my Wyze cams due to the new login process which is only supported in android software versions higher than 5.

      Eufy is one of the manufacturers listed in the new camera setup, so I can’t imaging why you wouldn’t be able to use Eufy cameras with TinyCam. We use it with a mix bag or Wyze camera mostly, but some Reolink, TP-Link, Blink, Foscam, etc.

      This is not an easy question to answer as I don't know the security or firewall configs you're using at your work (nor would I ask you... lol) I will however say that I set the TinyCam Pro app up on my FireTV 4k Max and recently I traveled to another state to visit a friend.

    • @SmarthomeRiggs
      @SmarthomeRiggs  8 місяців тому +1

      what model of firestick and what version of TinyCam Pro are you using? The latest version is currently 17.0.5 - Amazon Appstore (this stopped asking for the 2FA and got my cams back online, )?
      Have you been able see the feed fromeven one Wyze camera to show? An easy trick I use to determine the first channel, is to start by setting up a single camera on channel "1" and then save it and hit the back button. If the camera is on channel "1" it will show up successfully, if not, when TinyCam Pro doesn't see the camera, it gives an error that says something like Error: no device found, cameras on channel 5,6,7,8, and 11, this will show you what channel to start with, from there setup a camera and once set, confirm the camera shows and then go back into the settings of that camera.
      In the camera settings go to the top and select "Camera Status", under Advanced Info it lists "Relay type - Not relayWyze devices" under that is a list of every device it sees. Camera are labeled as such with it's channel number in front of it. Now you can copy/pasta the first camera and just name the "copy" the name of the new camera and set the channel number.
      With the new V3 Pan and the OG and OG Telephoto I also had to go in settings to "Camera UID and selected the camera by name to make them viewable. You only need to change the model if it is different from the one copied ( Pan cam or regular cam). I hope this helps and thanks for supporting the channel.

      @@SmarthomeRiggsthanks man! i figured it out the following day I wrote this comment and i managed to somehow get it to work with 2FA. Now the issue was that for some reason P2P wasn’t working and I had to auth tinyCam to access my Wyze account through the google authenticator. After 2 hours of trying to figure out how that worked I managed to do but not without its issues.
      First one being that anytime any sort of device other than the cameras and firestick themselves would connect to the Wifi it would cause either quality or connection drop-off’s. Now normally it stays at around the max around 720p and whenever this would happen go to 240-144p. Second issue is that anytime that the camera or Wyze app had to update it completely shit itself idk why or how but it would get back up and running on it.
      I appreciate your help I had my firestick up to date and both my cams as well as the app and even the tv i set it up on.
      Now i’m having another issue wherein the cams, after updating failing and re-updating will not for anything in the world connect to TinyCam i’ve tried everything and currently i’m restarting and going to factory reset them both.
      The sign in don’t work, no more 2FA request, Wi-Fi’s good-stable, Firestick up to date and tiny app too. The error it spits out is “P2P fail to start session (AV_ER_IOTC CHANNEL_IN_USED)”. Contrary to what it reads P2P is working fine and the forums don’t help at all as i’ve already tried all their troubleshooting options, anyways hope you see this soon there’s lots of shootings where i live and i’d love where they’re coming from!

    How do I find my channel number on my Wyze camera

    • @SmarthomeRiggs
      @SmarthomeRiggs  Рік тому

      The channel number for the Wyze cameras is based on the order of the cameras in your Wyze app. however there are a few Wyze products that install with a link between them and the router (door lock, outdoor camera base, outdoor plug unit itself.) these create a "ghost device" that can not be moved lower in the list and this can cause your top camera to go from "1" to "4". My top item is "3" and since I moved my Wyze task lamps to the top of my device list this made my first actual camera channel "5". An easy trick I use to determine the first channel, is to start by setting up a single camera on channel "1" and then save it and hit the back button. If the camera is on channel "1" it will show up successfully, if not, when TinyCam Pro doesn't see the camera, it gives an error that says something like Error: no device found, cameras on channel 5,6,7,8, and 11, this will show you what channel to start with, from there each camera lower in the list in the Wyze app is a channel number higher so if you copy/paste you just name the "copy" the name of the new camera and the channel is already correct> Then you only need to change the model if it is different from the one copied ( Pan cam or regular cam).

When adding a camera, name it whatever, after choosing Wyze and Wyze cam (or pan depending on model) sign in with your Wyze login username and password and just below select the Camera UID and you should now see a list of all of your cameras by name. Select the camera you want to choose and it should automagically rename it correctly. You can copy that camera and let it name it whatever and the channel as well, then edit that camera and go straight to the Camera UID and select the next camera. Please let us know if this was able to get you up and running. I hope this helps and thank you again for supporting the channel.

      While we were waiting for a pickup at our local IKEA, we stuck up a conversation with the people waiting next to us and my kid Tommy was telling their kids about our UA-cam channel.
      Gotta love Tommy's "Guerrilla Marketing". LOL

    What is tiny cam for ?

    • @SmarthomeRiggs
      @SmarthomeRiggs  Рік тому +1

      TinyCam Pro is an application that allows you to see a large variety of WiFi or IP connected camera's ranging from the old Foscam - to the new Wyze Cam Pan V2, (There are a few camera that are not supported due to their increased security protocols like RING, or because the cameras get their connection from a bridge like the Wyze Outdoor Cams,) But with this application you can see multiple cameras on any TV using a fire stick or Google TV, or in a widget on your home screen if you have an android phone or tablet.

      You can view up to 25 on one screen. But honestly, your mileage may very depending on what your network can support. In the video we show the multiple templates you can use, but 4-8 on one screen is all I would recommend, (unless your TV is huge and your internet is super fast). Hope this helps.

      While it is true that you always had the option showing a single "linked" camera for a limited time on your TV (and now with the 4K Max in Picture in Picture) By saying the name or making a routine. This app (and there is a free version as well but the paid version) allows software motion detection and cloud DVR among other awesome features. But the point of this video was to show how to monitor several cameras (2-20 depending on your network tolerance) at once and for a long time instead of just one. But thanks for taking the time to leave a comment telling us how you're using your smart home tech.

    How do you know your channel number?

    • @SmarthomeRiggs
      @SmarthomeRiggs  8 місяців тому

      The channel number for the Wyze cameras is based on the order of the cameras in your Wyze app. however there are a few Wyze products that install with a link between them and the router (door lock, outdoor camera base, outdoor plug unit itself.) these create a "ghost device" that can not be moved lower in the list and this can cause your top camera to go from "1" to "4". My top item is "3" and since I moved my Wyze task lamps to the top of my device list this made my first actual camera channel "5".
      An easy trick I use to determine the first channel, is to start by setting up a single camera on channel "1" and then save it and hit the back button. If the camera is on channel "1" it will show up successfully, if not, when TinyCam Pro doesn't see the camera, it gives an error that says something like Error: no device found, cameras on channel 5,6,7,8, and 11, this will show you what channel to start with, from there setup a camera and once set, confirm the camera shows and then go back into the settings of that camera.
      In the camera settings go to the top and select "Camera Status", under Advanced Info it lists "Relay type - Not relayWyze devices" under that is a list of every device it sees. Camera are labeled as such with it's channel number in front of it. Now you can copy/pasta the first camera and just name the "copy" the name of the new camera and set the channel number.
      With the new V3 Pan and the OG and OG Telephoto I also had to go in settings to "Camera UID and selected the camera by name to make them viewable. You only need to change the model if it is different from the one copied ( Pan cam or regular cam). I hope this helps and thanks for supporting the channel.

    • @SmarthomeRiggs
      @SmarthomeRiggs  11 місяців тому

      Are you referring to the Wyze Battery Cam Plus? If so once the firmware update is released it should work with the MicroSD card and not need the Cam Plus. If you are referring to this video I do not have a Cam Plus subscription, and my Wyze Cam V2, V3, V3 Pro, V2 Pan, and V3 Pan are all working in TinyCam Pro and we were told by the developer that the Battery Cam Plus should now work as well. We will be testing that soon and we'll post a comment in that video with our results. Thanks for the comment and Thanks for supporting the channel.

      This video was made before the 2 factor authentication was a thing Wyze offered. I'll definitely consider making an update video showing the 2-factor setup as well. Thank you for the suggestion.

      The simplest solution would be to get a camera compatible with your device. Or in this case a device compatible with your camera.
      A FireTV (Or Insignia TV with FireTV built in) Would connect and view your camera through the Alexa interface by adding the DZEES skill and using the alexa buton to call up the individual camera. As for the TinyCamPro used in this video, I just checked and DZEES cameras are not listed as supported . There are tons of cameras that are compatible, (even an option for "ip camera for android" that can be configured to connect by ip, username, password, etc.) that may work, but no guarantee. The cameras I used in the video are made by Wyze (available on Amazon, wyze.com, and Home Depot.)
      The "Roku" branded cameras are the same hardware as some of the Wyze cameras I use, but almost everything else is different and proprietary like the access, app, firmware, etc.) To my knowledge, The Roku cameras are only accessible from the Roku app on a phone or the smart home app on the Roku TV. I hope this answers your question and thanks for supporting the channel.

      If your Insignia TV has FireTV then any camera that can be added to Alexa is able to be pulled up on the TV ( like the Wyze outdoor cams, etc. To bring the camera up just press the blue Alexa button and asking for that specific camera (example: "Bring up the Backyard camera." ) this should bring up the backyard camera until you press the back button.

      The password is the one that you setup for your wyze app. You are setting up the TinyCam Pro app to log into the Wyze platform. Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment.
