Wyze Cam V2 only connects intermittently

prismsky commented 2 years ago

Running unifi-cam-proxy built off main and Unifi Protect 1.19.2

I've been able to add 4 wyze cam v2's into my Unifi Protect but they behave rather strangely.

they seem to connect and disconnect intermittently
they can crash Unifi Protect iOS app

The one strange thing about Wyze Cam V2 with official RTSP firmware is that they stream at 10fps in night mode and 15fps in day mode.

I tired playing around with various ffmpeg parameters, but they didn't seem to affect anything.

--ffmpeg-args '-c:v copy -vbsf "h264_metadata=tick_rate=60000/2000:fixed_frame_rate_flag=1" -ar 32000 -ac 1 -codec:a aac -b:a 32k'

I tried changing tick_rate, fied_frame_rate (setting to 0), and disabling audio.

I'd like to see the wyze cam v2 work with Unifi Protect. I'm new to both this project and Unifi Protect so need some pointers. Is there any info I can provide to help debug this?

FWIW, I have other cameras working just fine:

Hikvision DS-2CD2032-I (using RTSP with rtsp://admin:@192.168.1.230:554/Streaming/Channels/101)
Unifi G3 and G4 cams

Of note, when the cameras are having issues (not recording, no live video), the logs have frequent spawning log entries:

Another piece of data...when a Wyze camera is in an unhappy state, in Unifi Protect Timelapse section, the scrubber shows a section of time with "Camera Settings Updated" Screenshot 2021-10-04 154404
