Wyze v3 cameras with Blue Iris via RTSP

[atrain99]

Hello looking for a little help with what the settings (if any boxes need to be ticked or not ) need to be within Blue Iris to run the Wyze v3 indoor/outdoor cameras. I already have the cams setup in the Wyze app with RTSP mode running. Just need direction on the settings within Blue iris! I have revisited this in the past and want to try again and maybe eliminate the drops. Thanks

If it already has V3 f/w as you said, jump ahead to about the 10 minute mark:

Thanks . What is the best fps that should be set in BI for these cams ?

I have mine set to 20 which I think was the max but I'm running the mini-hacks vs the Wyse RTSP. Set FPS as high as it goes. The bitrate is low so it won't make much difference as far as resources used.

They kind of suck overall. I spent way too much time messing with the things. Very sensitive to WiFi signal in addition to dropping off for various other reasons. Best thing that you can do is to run the mini-hacks and a hardwired POE Ethernet adapter. Actually not... best thing is to get something different with better support for RTSP, ONVIF, etc., and onboard AI.

Just a tidbit of info for you @atrain99.....many of the Tapo line cameras from TP-LINK provide RTSP and some ONVIF compliance, are very cheap and small in size. Granted, most of the really small ones are Wi-Fi only and are powered by a 9VDC wall wart. They also have no embedded webGUI but are initially configured with a phone app but stream very reliably and with decent quality.....for a cheap Wi-Fi only camera. They stream directly to your network, not via the cloud, P2P, etc. when set up properly. A few months after I set one up TP-LINK updated the firmware so the cam could have a static IP, when first introduced their IP's were set via DHCP.

I've had a sub-$20 C-110 streaming to Blue Iris reliably since Oct. of '22 => Blue Iris Camera Compatibility.

Here's a list of the Tapo cameras that provide RTSP => How to view Tapo camera on PC/NAS/NVR through RTSP/Onvif Protocol

Thanks so much for the information. So I had the newer version of these and they made my network go crazy lol even with the TP Link Decco mesh router ....as soon as I removed them my network was good again. I wonder if the new tapo cams was the prob and I need these older ones?
