Wyze Cam V2
This is the latest toy I’ve been messing with. This is the Wyze Cam V2 indoor camera. I typically link things like this to Amazon but you can pick these up at HomeDepot for about $25 which makes them a bargain.
Much like every other smart device they are controlled by their own app. Before you know it you have an app for the doorbell, one for lights, and another for cameras, among a multitude of other devices. Apps, apps, apps.
When I buy smart devices I like to make sure they are compatible with my home automation system which is Home Assistant. Well the Wyze camera can be pulled in however you have to use what is called a Real Time Streaming Protocol or RTSP stream.
Here’s the bad news. Right out of the box the Wyze V2 does not support RTSP however, Wyze does offer a beta firmware that enables RTSP.
