Reddit AMA - 5/9/2023
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.

Why can't someone (WYZE ?) come up with a way to send cam recordings to a folder or share on the wifi network instead of to the sd card. that way if there was a breach of any kind where the camera got destroyed, you would have a recording of it elsewhere.
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

- Is there any Centralized Local Storage option for Wyze, like the Eufy HomeBase?

Unreliable RTSP
Perhaps you're thinking of WyzeHacks or Xiaomi-Dafang-Hacks? (the latter does not work with V3 hardware)
- Wyze Cam RTSP support removed

How many 'No Signal' is acceptable for a WiFi camera?
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.

2/16/24 Wyze Security Incident Update
I'm having great success with half a dozen v3's in tandem -- for $30 a camera, the quality is really unbeatable -- setup / notes below.
1. all cameras have 64gb+ micro SD cards and record to local storage -- many people seem to have issues with anything greater than 32gb in v3's but I've found that this Verbatim tool [0] formats FAT32 at high capacity with no problems
2. all cameras have wz_mini_hacks [1] on the SD card with RTSP enabled
3. all cameras are connected via ethernet instead of wifi using this adapter [2]
4. network blocks all outgoing internet connections for all cameras to keep them LAN-only -- this means I have to connect to VPN to review video when outside the house, but I'm cool with that
5. all RTSP streams are also recorded over the network via Agent DVR [3] to a NAS
6. the Wyze app (free tier, not paid) works normally with all of the above in place -- I find it much more intuitive to review recent videos in-app (streamed off the SD card), and then review the very occasional older video from a computer off the NAS (scrubbing through in VLC on a computer)
For what it's worth, I don't use them like a Ring camera where you're responding to realtime video events / talking through the camera to a delivery person -- this is mostly just for 24/7 recording. I have all object/motion detection events turned off, just a straight uninterrupted feed recording local and on the network.

How I changed my D-Link camera from cloud camera to a locally managed IP camera
I have been using wz_mini_hacks [1] on my Wyze V3 and have been pretty happy with it. Among other things, it has a “self-hosted” mode which patches the binaries running on the camera to no longer phone home to Wyze servers. I’ve been using it on my local network over RTSP with no issues.

How to setup & selfhost cameras so they are blocked network access (Wyze cameras specifically) and using something Like Frigate?
I use wz_mini_hacks RTSP server on my Wyze V3 cameras. wz_mini_hacks also has a selfhosted mode that enables the cameras to be used offline. Then I just pipe the rtsp stream from each camera into frigate. I've been using this setup for 6 months now. They work great.

Are there good open source CCTV mobile apps? I want to replace my Wyze cameras with a self-hosted alternative, but I still want to have a good way to access it from my phone
There’s also wz_mini_hacks, you don’t have to flash a firmware either, you just upload it to your sd card and it gets installed the next time the camera boots. This one can RTSP but you can run any firmware version you want.
