- I found 3 Wyze cameras and haven't used them before. Is there anything for the home tinkerer to do?

Can't stream video
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

IP webcam and external access
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.

Octo4a or OctoPI?
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

Can I still buy an actual IP camera?
I bought a used Wyze Cam V2 relatively cheap and installed OpenMiko on it for example.

Docker instance won't connect to IP cam
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).

Does a hardware webcam over IP exist?
OpenMiko is one example.

Ultra popular Linus Tech Tips abruptly drops their sponsor, Eufy Home Security Cameras, when it's revealed that Eufy has been secretly uploading images of the home owner, despite explicitly stating that the product only stores images locally.
That's why I only use cameras flashed with open firmware: https://github.com/openmiko/openmiko

[Security Camera] WYZE Cam v3 with 3-Months Cam Plus (2-Pack) $35 free shipping
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.

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.
