I recently decided to set up a Wyze camera for a 24/7 live feed on my website. The goal was to have a stream accessible to anyone, without restrictions. I thought it would be straightforward, but there were a few hurdles to overcome. Here’s my journey and the solution I found.Initially, I followed Wyze’s setup instructions, but streaming to an external platform wasn’t as simple as I hoped. I tried using third-party services to embed the feed, but most required subscriptions or had limitations. After some research, I discovered that Wyze cameras support RTSP (Real-Time Streaming Protocol), which allows direct streaming without additional software.**Step-by-Step Guide:**1. Enable RTSP on Wyze Camera: - Log into your Wyze app. - Navigate to the camera settings. - Look for the RTSP option and enable it. This might require a firmware update.2. Find Your Camera’s RTSP URL: - Once RTSP is enabled, the app provides the RTSP URL for your camera. It usually looks like rtsp://username:password@camera_ip:port.3. Set Up Streaming Service: - Use a service like Streamlabs or OBS Studio to stream from the RTSP URL. - Configure the service to use the RTSP URL as the input source.4. Embed the Stream on Your Website: - Most streaming services offer an embed code for websites. Use this code in your website’s HTML to display the live feed.5. Test the Stream: - Ensure the stream works smoothly. Check for latency and video quality.Challenges Faced:- Latency Issues: The initial setup had noticeable delays. I optimized this by adjusting the streaming bitrate.- Security Concerns: I was worried about unauthorized access. Wyze’s RTSP requires a username and password, which I changed to a strong one.Tips:- Regularly update your camera’s firmware to ensure compatibility.- Test the stream in different browsers and devices to ensure compatibility.This setup has been running smoothly for a few weeks now. It’s a great way to keep an eye on my property without being there. If anyone has questions or needs help, feel free to ask!
