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).

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.

Software like iSpy for Wyze?
I think OpenMiko is what you're looking for.
-
Wyze app alternative?
You probably want a custom firmware. Something like dafang or openmikothat would give you full control over the camera.

Ask HN: Self-hosted open source IP security cameras?
For open source and self-hosted, I've been pretty pleased with openmiko (https://github.com/openmiko/openmiko). I put this on a couple $20-ish wyze cams that are used adhoc right now, but will be combined with frigate and home assistant when I can get ahold of a Coral USB device.

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

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.

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

Wyze app alternative?
Another option would be a “jailbrake” like WyzeHacks or wz_mini_hacks that run on top of the stock firmware and give you telnet access to the camera.
-
What is the best alternative firmware for wyze cams?
WyzeHacks is another option depending on your needs. I guess it's maybe not a full firmware and more of a patch, but NFS mounted storage is nice.
What are some alternatives?
