camera.ui VS openmiko

CameraUI (https://github.com/seydx/camera.ui) Opensource NVR software for cameras, built on modern progressive web app (PWA) architecture. Beautiful software, unfortunately the original dev has gone AWOL but the latest release is stable and easy to use for recording and viewing cameras.

For my apartment, I run rtsp-simple-server[1] on my home server and use Raspberry Pis with generic USB webcams running ffmpeg to stream the audio/video to the RTSP server. Then I run camera.ui[2] separately for a nicer interface on top of all the cameras, HomeKit integration, etc.

The only downside hardware-wise is I don't get any indoor IR night vision with these, which some of the nicer "smart home" account-locked ones do.

It's honestly not too bad to set up if you run [1] and [2] in Docker. I've done disaster recovery scenarios of my home infra where I straight up disconnect the modem's uplink and everything works without any issues.

In the past I’ve played around with using Scrypted or Camera.UI to bring non-HomeKit IP cameras into HomeKit. I think HomeAssistant and HomeBridge both have basic modules which would do this too (ffmpeg at bare minimum). A docker image running on a RaspberryPi or Synology is probably good enough.

camera.ui

You could try https://github.com/SeydX/camera.ui. Some say its CPU usage when recognising movement is not as high as scrypted. You could give it a shot.

Have a Wyze Cam V2 running openmiko. I can pull the feed via the camera's IP, but Klipper (Fluidd, Mainsail on BTT CB1) shows like below. Additionally, moonraker-timelapse throws an error. This was working fine until I tried Hyperlapse. Now I can't wrap my head around this

I'm running MainsailOS, and a Wyze cam v2 running openmiko. I have Tailscale installed on the Pi for remote access. In Mainsail config, I have the camera configured via private IP. When I access the web control panel externally, I do not get video output. Is there a way to get this to work? I do not think there's a way to connect the Wyze cam to my tailnet.If it's not possible, have any good recommendations for a good, cheap, wide-angle (110 degrees FOV or better) camera I can purchase? I wouldn't want to spend more than $25 for one. Quick search yielded this one, but don't know if there's a Klipper-community recommended one that everyone uses.

you wish lol. the mod allows you to get highest possible resolution video out of it without all the compression pixelation. its super easy to install. but it does take a little bit of linux knowledge to edit config files and stuff. heres the link if interested: https://github.com/openmiko/openmiko

I bought a used Wyze Cam V2 relatively cheap and installed OpenMiko on it for example.

I have a WyzeCamV2 running OpenMiko firmware, which supports (and I have configured for) H264 RTSP streaming. I can view the video stream through VLC with the url rtsp://192.168.1.199:8554/video3_unicast. I am executing the command docker run -p 8081:80 --name mycamera -e AGENT_CAPTURE_IPCAMERA_RTSP="rtsp://192.168.1.199:8554/video3_unicast" kerberos/agent:latest on my host. The agent seems to run fine and I can connect via browser. With our without AGENT_CAPTURE_IPCAMERA_RTSP... set, I cannot add the RTSP stream; no cameras show attached and when I try to connect one via dashboard->settings, it just spins. The logs aren't really helpful (see below).

OpenMiko is one example.

That's why I only use cameras flashed with open firmware: https://github.com/openmiko/openmiko

If all else fails, you can flash different firmware and use them locally. I'm using [OpenMiko](https://github.com/openmiko/openmiko) on my Wyze Cam v1 (I'd assume there's a similar open-source project for the v3), and Wyze themselves publishes an RTSP firmware. Without a bit of technical know-how and some supporting hardware (namely a router than supports OpenVPN) you won't have access to the stream off your local network, but you can stream locally with VLC Player.
