WyzeHacks VS tinycam-api

There have been several community developed projects for the wyze cams like WyzeHacks, wz_mini_hacks, and docker-wyze-bridge, however, it seems as though each project is slowly getting killed off with every new product and firmware release.

This firmware supports NFS mounts in favor of sd cards. It looks like it hasn't been updated recently, but it worked when I last tried it. https://github.com/HclX/WyzeHacks

Perhaps you're thinking of WyzeHacks or Xiaomi-Dafang-Hacks? (the latter does not work with V3 hardware)

I'm running the wz_mini_hacks image (https://github.com/HclX/WyzeHacks) where you run from a SD card and it has a rtsp server. You have the ability to ssh into the camera (which is pretty cool) and it's running Linux so you can do some troubleshooting.

You can also try this to try and make use of your existing wyze cams. https://github.com/HclX/WyzeHacks

look into WYZE cameras you can hack them to access and configure the cameras online. https://github.com/HclX/WyzeHacks

TinyCam: failed to work on Chromebook. I plan to try a Fire Stick next.

I bought a license of TinyCam Monitor Pro, and then each display is either a tablet or a streaming stick (pretty much anything that can run android and load apps from google play store).

If the Wyze app is not available for your tablet, try Tinycam Monitor. You can view cams and use Tinycam's motion detection, but the Wyze notifications will not work.

On the more positive side, I got my five security cameras running in a browser window, so I can keep tabs on them while watching a movie or whatever in another window. (I'm broadcasting the cameras from this app - https://tinycammonitor.com/) Also, one of the cameras is located in the room in which I am testing, so I see myself in glorious full colour 1080p sitting there with the headset on. I suspect I could get a camera working to show the view in front of me to augment the Oculus ones... hmmm....
