I still have a few wyze cams so this was a very troubling claim, I couldn’t verify it, could you please provide some citation?
The only troubling thing I found is that the emergency response company they outsource police dispatch to (noonlight), but they claim they don’t share any videos with them and only use their dispatch API for the home security system sensors, they explicitly say:
“Videos and/or the live streams from your Security Cameras are not shared with any Wyze employees or third parties (including Noonlight and the monitoring center).”
And in the same FAQs:
“Wyze does not share monitoring data with law enforcement or any third parties.”
How were you able to get that to work? I just got a Reolink Doorbell camera and couldn’t get it to work on anything outside the Reolink client/app. I can’t even access it from a browser. All their documentation seems to indicate that it does not support it.
Although the other cameras I got from them just had an option to turn it on.
I think you gotta use the app to provision and then turn on the RTSP or ONVINF settings in there, then once you have the IP address, you just add the RTSP stream to Frigate
Dang, those options do not show up for me. It does for the other plugin cameras, but not for the battery doorbell camera. I wonder if they patched that out of the app.
I want HomeKit compatibility. OR something hackable that requires no cloud connection. These companies are not our friends and have betrayed our trust at every step.
It would be interesting if it is also compatible with Home Assistant. That could be a really good entry level video doorbell
Oh man if we get rtsp support that would be the best. I could finally swap out my inlaws wyze doorbell. Wyze are working with ICE btw.
Wyze has its own issues but working with the US I.C.E. doesn’t seem accurate. Where did you read that?
Amazon Ring does, not seeing evidence of Wyze doing that (but also no evidence they haven’t, just their claim they require warrants for it)

I use Reolink front door camera with RTSP (thru Frigate) to HA if that’s at all interesting

Same, but I don’t want to run Ethernet to their door and the reolink cams are too expensive for them.
Ideally ONVIF support too, to get events (person detected, etc)
