If you take a look at any of the past Wyze Cams, they might seem to resemble cameras from Chinese vendors such as Xiaomi or Neos. However, the firmware is gimped in such a way that you most likely won't be happy about the news.

Integrating the Wyze Cam V3 with Home AssistantĪlthough I was pessimistic about the chances of it happening, you can now download and install a RTSP firmware for the Wyze Cam v3.

Integrating the Wyze Cam V2 and Wyze Cam Pan with Home Assistant.

Update: Wyze has released a RTSP firmware for the Wyze Cam v3.

But the V2 does currently have one major advantage, and it concerns users of Home Assistant. You might be thinking there is no reason to go with the Wyze Cam V2 now that the V3 is available. The Wyze Cam Pan has similar specs to the V2 and is additionally capable of panning. It looks and functions very similar but with improved specs, a wider field of view, higher-frame-rate recording, and weatherproofing. The Wyze Cam V3 is a direct upgrade to the V2.

The free option is limited to 12 seconds per clip, with a mandatory five-minute gap between them.Ĭurrently, there are three Wyze Cams available for purchase: the Wyze Cam V2 and its successor, the Wyze Cam V3, and the Wyze Cam Pan. For only $2 per month, Wyze's Cam Plus offers support for unlimited-length event recordings, with no cool-down time between them. Not only do you get great hardware, but you also get 14 days worth of cloud storage for free, and support for local microSD recording (for which you should definitely be using Endurance rated microSD cards).

When compared to the competition, the Wyze Cam V3 at that price is an absolute steal. With the latest model, the Wyze Cam V3, only $20 get you an IP65-rated, simultaneous 2-way communication capable, Full-HD security camera with a Starlight CMOS Sensor (this allows the camera to see colours in near darkness). The Wyze Cam is a top-rated security camera not only due to its low price point.
