Best Features of the Wyze App

High-solution images even at night

The Wyze Cam v2 camera is equipped with a 2.8mm focal length and a 110º wide-angle lens for full HD 1920 × 1080 (1080p) video quality.

On your PC screen, you can zoom up to 8 times technically to see every detail clearly. Wyze Cam continues to produce clear images at night thanks to the LED technology.

2-way conversation

Wyze Cam can provide clear, full live images both day and night through your smartphone. Besides, the camera and the App also offer 2-way audio, which helps you to communicate with people through the App.

Advanced motion sensor

Technology “motion detection” allows Wyze Cam to detect and highlight moving objects. When setting up the sensor, you will receive an alert through the App whenever Wyze Cam detects a motion. Alerts include video timelapse 10-15 seconds.

Besides, Wyze Cam can also detect smoke alarms, CO, and send notifications to your App. This feature can prevent a fire accident from your house.

Cloud storage for free

Wyze Cam automatically records 12-second warning videos when motion or sound is detected. The video is stored securely on the Amazon AWS Cloud server for 14 days completely free.

Do not disturb feature mode

When the camera is in an area where people are frequent, it’s annoying that your phone will receive the alerts regularly throughout the day.

Luckily, you can limit that when setting the time that you want to receive alerts on your app. Set up via phone app, go to Alert Settings> Alert Schedule.

Works with Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa, and IFTTT

Wyze App directly supports Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa, allowing video display from Wyze Cam to devices with your Smart devices or PC screens.

Just say “OK Google, show living room camera” or “Alexa, show me the living room,” and the image of your living room will display immediately.

1. Install an Android emulator such as Bluestacks . As the Wyze app is only available for Android devices, so if you want to run it on the Windows operating system, then an Android emulator is indispensable.
2. Login to your gmail account after installed the emulator
3. Search and Download the Wyze app on the App store.
4. Now you can use Wyze app like your phone.

Wyze Cam on Apple HomeKit

GPU Transcoding with Raspberry Pi

Wyze Cam on Apple HomeKit using the Raspberry Pi 4 hardware accelerated transcoding.

Wyze Cams are inexpensive and awesome web cams. Unfortunately Wyze will not support Apple HomeKit on the current cameras. An alternative is to use Homebridge on a Raspberry Pi to “bridge” the cameras into HomeKit.

NOTE — 16th of Feb, 2020: A YouTube video by Tech Craft explains how to check an RTSP stream for native HomeKit H.264 support. This is luckily the case for Wyze Cams and therefore there is no need to transcode the stream with h264_omx as this post originally described. The post has been updated to use the more performant and simpler stream copy stream technique.

Performance Notes

• The Wyze Cam RTSP output format is H.264 encoded which is the stream coded required by HomeKit so no transcoding is required.
• The Raspberry Pi 4 has a lot of hardware updates to support higher bandwidth video processing. This may also work on older Raspberry Pis. The RPi 4 supports H.265 (4kp60 decode) and H.264 (1080p60 decode, 1080p30 encode).
• While live streaming with the setup described here, memory usage peaked at 200Mb and CPU peaked at 50% on a single core.

Prerequisites

1. Get a Raspberry Pi 4 B 1GB with Raspbian Buster or newer

Setup

This is where experimentation was needed to find a successful setup.

On the Raspbian Buster apt repos all dependencies are ready to go with no custom compiling required.

Install the following packages with the respective package manager:

• apt: libavahi-compat-libdnssd-dev
• apt: ffmpeg
• npm: homebridge-camera-ffmpeg — The fork homebridge-camera-ffmpeg-omx is not needed because the stream does not need to be transcoded.

Finally, configure Homebridge for each Wyze Cam. The key here is to use the copy vcodec to copy the native H.264 video stream strait to the HomeKit stream.

This config also has the combination found to work best with both streaming and snapshotting for HomeKit. Check out the homebridge-camera-ffmpeg docs and defaults before adding unnecessary configuration options.

Confirmation

At this point, it should be possible to add the accessories to the Home app and see both smooth live streaming and preview snapshots from the cameras.

On the Raspberry Pi, run top or htop to confirm the load is not on the CPU while streaming.
