Wyze Cam RTSP idle no stream

Hi, newbie here …

I have tried searching the forum but have not yet found a solution.

I just purchased a Wyze Cam V2 and have the following in my configuration file, but it doesn’t show up under entities?

ffmpeg:

Camera: 
  - platform: ffmpeg
    name: wyze
    input: "rtsp://xxxx:[email protected]/live"

Hassbian, Raspberry pi 3 B+

Have you flashed the rtsp firmware from Wyze onto the camera? There are instructions to do so on Wyze’s site, along with the firmware files.

Yes, i can see the stream in vlc

I can now see the entity i HA, but in lovelace nothing shows?!

What are you running HASS on/what flavor of HASS (hassbian/docker/hass.io, etc).

If you’re running on a Pi you may need to install ffmpeg from what I can remember.

Hi, as i wrote i’m running Hassbian, Raspberry pi 3 B+

I have ffmpeg installed :slight_smile:

It will not work as a direct intergration in HA as rtsp, you have to use Motion-Eyes (etc.) to be able to stream the WyzeCam…

Check out this video to walk you through.

Ok thanks … i will try that :slight_smile:

That was happening. I kept regenerating the URL and eventually it stopped failing. There’s an update I need to install I hear.

I got it to work with motioneye - thanks all
