Wyze Cam v2 WiFi Security Camera with Custom Hobby Firmware

The Wyze Cam v2 wifi security camera is a very capable camera, great for a smart home project, but I don't want to rely on a vendor's cloud service. Lets take control!

Can you please add what is the latest OK version of the original firmware for the v2?

towerofpower256 commented 2 years ago

I've been using the latest and greatest available. Mine is currently running a snapshot from 2021-07-20, but I'd imagine that the latest would work.

Are you having issues with the latest version?

nospam2k commented 2 years ago

So what I'm refering to is I'm on 4.9.5.36 version of Wyze v2 firmware. Is it ok to upgrade to the latest (4.9.7.1068) Wyze firmware for the v2 Camera. Will I still be able to use Xiaomi-Dafang-Hacks? If not, what is the latest version that will still allow me to use the Dafang hack?

Ah gotcha! I believe the latest version of the official Wyze Cam v2 firmware that will let you install Dafang Hacks is 4.9.4.28.

However you can roll-back the firmware version by updating the firmware on the SD card with a saved copy of the older firmware from here:

Xiaomi-Dafang-Hacks/firmware_original/wyzecam_v2/

The official instructions should still work to install the older firmware from the SD card: https://support.wyze.com/hc/en-us/articles/360031490871-How-to-flash-your-Wyze-Cam-firmware-manually

This is amazing! Is there a custom notification for "sd card ejected" or something similar? And also when my cameras lose power due to an outage, I would like to be notified. Is there a way to set this through Arduino? Or should I try something like Blue Iris? I am a beginner, and I know very little about Arduino or Blue Iris. Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much!

All good, we all started somewhere.

For the custom notifications, those aren't currently implemented unfortunately. The SD card ejected one could be tricky because that's where the custom firmware is, so it would be like saying "my head has been chopped off" after your head has been chopped off. The customisations and custom MQTT message functionally is on the SD card, which would've been removed. Same with the power loss one. You could possibly implement a graceful shut down flag feature where it'll send a message saying "I have just booted after being shut down improperly, likely due to power loss", but not "I am about to lose power".

An IVR system like Blue Iris or MotionEye might be whys you're after there, a central application on a server somewhere that's using feeds from all your cameras and can tell you when they go down or when motion is detected on them.

Welcome to the wonderful world of home security cameras! Try new things, learn from mistakes, find what you like and dislike, and remember to have fun!

Any idea how to enable 'guest' access? I've got this installed on a clone and it's excellent, but would like to allow others to access it without them being able to change everything.

What's the device?
