Wyze Cam V3 not showing video

Describe the bug

I got fed up waiting on wyze to do what they said they would do about implementing the RSTP for v3 and i’m still waiting.

So i decided to order a Wyze V3 and and link it with the Wyze Bridge to display the rtsp url, i went through the motions and voila it works as stated after a few permutations in my config to get it working and displaying the rtsp url …phew…

After playing around with the configs in all sorts of different ways to get a pic in VLC etc i have it working, also in Blue iris and HA but i cant seem to get this working with Frigate.

I did first try it on a Wyze Cam v2 in Frigate to see if it works and it did with no issues, also in VLC, Blue Iris, Frigate.

Dose anyone no what the correct path is to get the video to show in frigate ? as stated i have tried a whole heap of different permutations, all i get is a green screen and i have tried different resolutions to no avail, just cant get it to show the view of the cam picture.

Yes, after the bridge is when I start frigate. I’m at a loss. Sorry.

[andiewill]

Nice one got the docker running and i will try this all again the see if i can get it to work with this wyze docker later on and keep you updated…thanks once again.

Update … i tried it with your wyze docker config and it works great as i would like it, but the same thing happened as before even as a stand alone, it won’t pull in the Wyze cam v3s.

But at least i learnt something new today regarding setting up a native docker ui, thanks @ mitchross, this will come in much need as like you i want to keep everything in a docker container if i can.

Update…

Well well well… Wyze has now released the RTSP firmware for the Wyze cam V3 which is great news, “may be something to do with their recent issues to gain more support” anyway i loaded that onto the camera and all is working fine in frigate, still not sure what the initial issue was but this has now been resolved with this new rtsp firmware from wyze.
