No but I often delete my apps after completing my review. I plan on keeping the WYZE app however. Yes, it's hard to find time to post videos when working full time. I'm nowhere near creating videos full time.... yet - lol
Thanks for this video. I am amazed by how clear you manage to convey your message. I also love the time-stamp overview that you included in your video. A true example for other wanna-be UA-camrs!
Blue Iris looks great but in light of the problems that wyze has had lately maybe they should continue work on RSTP and PC monitoring software to use with it so we don't have to setup an account and give out personnel info. Regardless, I am going to give this a try. Thank you.
Hello Sir, VERY interesting procedure! I am planning to try the Wyze Cam Pan v3 on a PC, to use a biomechanical analyze program, Kinovea. Have you by chance already tested this cam on your computer?
this wasn't working with my v3. following the instructions here (and in the wyze support article) when booting with the .bin file on the SD and holding setup, the camera announces "ready to connect" but does not reflash the firmaware. I had to replace the SD card that had been in the camera with a fresh one with *only* the RTSP firmware. then it re-flashed. but never came back up. the purple light came on, then the red flashes. I had to un-plug, re-plug holding setup and run through re-adding the camera back to the app.
I read a while back that WYZE updated the firmware to prevent people from flashing the firmware, but apparently that was removed. I wonder if your camera had that older version. Also, if the Micro SD card 32gig or less? I found that it needed to be formatted it with a computer as FAT32. (Don't use Quick Format). I recently bought a couple new V3's and updated the firmware and then flashed them. I did have to try a couple times. I just assumed that my finger slipped on the setup button, or I held the button for too long. In the end, after a few tries, I was able to get the RTSP firmware on there but ended up totally factory resetting the devices. Not sure if this helps.
@@HomeTechDIY thanks for the follow-up. in the end I got it working. I think the downgrade in FW causes problems with artifacts left by newer FW. the Wyze app has some trouble connecting with the older FW and the network stability isn't as good (app kept timing out). BUT the rtsp interface, once setup, is working!
I guess I asked you this question a 1 YEAR ago so has ANYTHING changed So where you ever FINALLY able to set up your wyze cams v3 up on a NVR as of 2024? IF so what's is the video called?
I did buy a couple more WYZE Cam V3s and I did installed the RTSP firmware on them for connecting them to my Blue Iris machine in 2024. I did not connect them to an NVR however and I doubt if anything as changed with that since this video.
Denmark, and Newbie here 🇩🇰🇩🇰, this is awesome, thx a lot. 👍 Do you have any videos on how to move, recorded videos, to exampel a NAS. Keep up the good Work 🙏👍
Thanks! Welcome and happy to hear you like the videos. No, I haven't done much with a NAS. I tried one about 7 years ago and the NAS couldn't keep up recording the footage from 10 cameras at once. Not sure if it was due to my configuration, but that's when I decided to move to a dedicated NVR and PC for recording and playing back footage.
The may be some differences in the app. The firmware is a little old and newer features may not be supported or may function a little differently. If I recall correctly, they were minor and worth the switch.
There is no way to set a static IP address from within the camera itself. The only way to do this is through your router using a DHCP reservation where you reserve an IP address for the camera's MAC address.
Hi Home Tech DIY. Just wanted to say thank you so much for your informative videos. I have 5 wyze cam v3 in total. Using your videos I was able to build myself a cheap Ryzen 2600 based system and now I have it all setup with all the cameras and the footage is being recorded. Only issue I ran into was I use Tenda Nova Mesh system and due to this it wasn't picking up my cameras. Perhaps you could make a video showing people the networking side of things with routers/mesh networks on how to set it up, as I had to do a bit of googling to figure it out (ended up having to switch the nova system to 'Bridge Mode' to get Blue Iris to detect the cameras. Other than this, again thanks alot. Very informative videos, easy to understand and in depth. I have now subscribed and look forward to more content! All the best 👍
I'm not sure what 'plugged off' means, but the camera actually connects to WiFi on your local network and not the Internet directly. The local network is connected to the Internet. If there Internet connection is off, the camera will use RTSP on the local network and continue to stream to any device on the network. So, if there is no Internet, the camera will still record to an NVR or stream. If the camera is not connected to WiFi, then no other devices on the network will pick up the stream. If the camera has a micro-SD card, it doesn't need a WiFi connection to record footage. Hope this helps.
I have cctv camera system at home and I forget the password to on cctv to check they record. I can see they record on my phone but I can on to because it asking for password and idont know how to rest that.will u help plz?
I've been waiting for this on my blue iris since the v3 came out. Great video. I have loaded the firmware on the camera and checked that it is now the updated version and generated the rtsp link and tried it on VLC but it just shows a black screen and the time increments with nothing showing. Can you suggest a way to troubleshoot this? Maybe something like wireshark or such? The camera still shows in the wyze app and the rtsp selection is in advanced settings but vlc doesn't seem to be able to find it like you are saying the hikvision did. My v3 was originally on fw 4.36.0.150. I guess I'll see if there is a newer version and update if possible and then try the rtsp again.
OK, I reverted to latest fw and redid it and vlc then gave an error that it couldn't find the stream. Tried it one more time and vlc now sees the stream and everything works like it should. Thank you very much for this video.
Thanks for letting me know. I will ping this comment for others. Basically, the firmware updates are getting old and WYZE is coming up with a plan to deal with the multiple versions going forward.
I have uploaded the V3 RTSP firmware I used in my video here: www.hometechdiy.com/wyze_cam_v3_rtsp/
You Sir, Are a Camera Wizard! Thanks for sharing! 😎👍🎥📸
Thanks for getting me started with the demo Blue Iris and Wyze v3 cam!
Do you use a separate cell phone for apps and cams(privacy)? Good seeing you post some vids!!
No but I often delete my apps after completing my review. I plan on keeping the WYZE app however.

Great Video.. Thanks for sharing your knowledge...
Now it's 2 years later, can I use a Wyze cam v3 this on a Hikvision NVR now ?
Hello Sir,
VERY interesting procedure! I am planning to try the Wyze Cam Pan v3 on a PC, to use a biomechanical analyze program, Kinovea. Have you by chance already tested this cam on your computer?
Thanks. sorry, but the firmware is not for the Pan cameras.
thanks, converted 4 cameras but, now on the next 2 it did not work
Would this work for the Wyze Cam V3 and do I understand that the the change dos not give night vision which I do need. Thanks
I'm not sure what you're asking; this video shows how RTSP works on the WYZE Cam V3.

Do you need the subscription for this to work with blueiris
You don't need anything from WYZE but you will need to buy a licensed version if Blue Iris.
9:25 That look like the Swann UI

After doing this rtsp firmware flash, does the app work any different? Will everything still be as normal in the app?
The may be some differences in the app. The firmware is a little old and newer features may not be supported or may function a little differently. If I recall correctly, they were minor and worth the switch.
Can this also work with the Floodlight and the Cam Pan?
No, RTSP is not an option with those cameras.
Why not? My floodlight cam is just a V3 attached to a floodlight. I would think I'd should work.
Hello sir, Am appreciative for your videos. Wanted to ask about the best backup power supply for a CCTV system
Hell. I'm not sure what the best is, but here is how I back up my security camera system: ua-cam.com/video/DQ4hqNvziFQ/v-deo.html
Thanks for your video able to get wyze v3 to but it changes ip frequently and have to setup again can’t figure out how to set static ip
Thanks
There is no way to set a static IP address from within the camera itself. The only way to do this is through your router using a DHCP reservation where you reserve an IP address for the camera's MAC address.

Thanks for the feedback and I'm happy to hear it all worked out. I will add your suggestion to my list of future videos. Thanks again!
So have they updated the link to nvr yet?
No, it seems they are still not supporting it: support.wyze.com/hc/en-us/articles/360051619871-Does-Wyze-Cam-v3-support-RTSP-
I have uploaded the V3 RTSP firmware I used in my video here: www.hometechdiy.com/wyze_cam_v3_rtsp/
So lets say camera is plugged off or not connected to internet. Then it wont record right?
I'm not sure what 'plugged off' means, but the camera actually connects to WiFi on your local network and not the Internet directly. The local network is connected to the Internet.

Thank you for this video ! Worked great adding Wyze Cam 3 to Blue iris.
how you obtaing the blue iris?
How to make this work with the V3 PAN cameras?
I don't think there is an RTSP firmware version available for the PAN camera.
Nice
is no longer available for download
Thanks for letting me know. I will ping this comment for others.
Basically, the firmware updates are getting old and WYZE is coming up with a plan to deal with the multiple versions going forward.
@@HomeTechDIY Where could I get a hold of the old file, safely?
I have updated the V3 RTSP firmware I used in my video here: www.hometechdiy.com/wyze_cam_v3_rtsp/
