Wyze Cam v3 in Self-Hosted Mode: Local Network Communication Failure Without Internet #779

Open MichaelLulev opened 4 months ago

MichaelLulev commented 4 months ago

I have a Wyze Cam v3 on my local network running wz_mini_hacks with a static IP address, currently using the 4.61.0.1 RTSP firmware. Normally, when I block the camera from having internet access, it works fine for about one minute before losing all communication with the local network. At that point, I can't reach it in any way until I restore its internet access, after which it returns to working normally.

When I enable self-hosted mode by setting ENABLE_SELFHOSTED_MODE="true" in the wz_mini.conf file and restart the Wyze Cam v3, the blue light blinks continuously at one-second intervals while it has internet access. However, after blocking its internet access, it continues to work over the local network for about an hour before it again loses all communication, making it unreachable. From what I understand, this is not the intended behavior for self-hosted mode.

What could be causing this issue, and how can it be fixed? I have been trying to resolve this problem for several days now without any success.

I had issues using that firmware and wz_mini until I downgraded it to 4.36.9.139. Also the local network mode seems to work after I patch iCamera. just ssh to the cam and run /opt/wz_mini/usr/bin/patch_icamera.sh and see if that helps.
