It is about $50 per camera for the lifetime. Once you add the RTSP “side load” to your Wyze camera, the camera(s) still function normally with the Wyze app.Īt the same time, the camera works as expected with the Synology NAS app.Ī downside I discovered, and something that has never come up in the multiple years I’ve been using Synology devices: There is a license fee per camera once you go over 2 cameras. If you don’t have a Synology NAS, this becomes a slightly expensive security camera system that can also be all the other things a Synology NAS can be like a file server, private cloud, backup device, etc…. IF you already have a Synology NAS, this becomes a bargain security camera system. I’m thrilled because this has been a long saga, and the Wyze cameras are inexpensive and high quality. Now you’ll have a place to put that RSTP link.
Give a un/pwd and you’ll get an RTSP “link”. Update your Surveillance System to the latest release.įollow the directions for updating your Wyze cam firmware – don’t forget to rename the file.Īfter the firmware update you will go into advanced settings on each camera and turn RTSP on. While I don’t know much about these two, my understanding is ONVIF is better, but I’m not sure why.Īnyhow, since Wyze cameras are under $30 I bought 2 to test whether I could connect a Wyze cam to Synology Surveillance Station. This is somewhat of a universal standard like ONVIF. Not long ago I discovered that Wyze put out a firmware update that allowed the use of RTSP streams. I’ve proven that to be not true (not on purpose).įrustrated with the camera selection I shelved that idea for a while a bought a low end “traditional” wifi security camera system. They say they are compatible with any ONVIF camera. This is the Synology security camera management app. One that I’ve been trying to use, and unable to, over the years is Surveillance Station.
One of the cool things about Synology is the operating system has all sorts of apps you can add.
Yes, it is apparent that support has been trimmed over the last few years, but not necessarily the quality of support. I’ve written before that I’m a fan of the Synology NAS.
