Wyze For PC

One way is to use the Wyze app by installing an Android emulator on your computer. This method gives you access to all the features of the Wyze camera and is fairly straightforward to set up. Suitable for Windows and MAC computers.

Here’s how to do it:

1. Download Bluestacks, a popular Android emulator.

2. Download the Wyze APK so that you can install it directly without having to log in to Google Play.

3. Download bluestacks and double click to install.

Use Wyze RTSP For PC

Although Wyze hasn’t developed software to use its cameras on a computer, you can view live video on a Windows or Mac computer by enabling the RTSP (Real Time Streaming Protocol) function. However, this method is more complicated and requires technical expertise.

It’s important to note that RTSP can only stream live video and you won’t be able to use other features such as reviewing video recordings or adjusting settings.

RTSP is only available on certain Wyze camera models, including the Wyze Cam v2, Wyze Cam v3 and Wyze Cam Pan.

RTSP Caution

According to Wyze, RTSP is currently in beta, and AI and other Cam Plus-related features may not be stable when RTSP is enabled.

Install RTSP Firmware For Wyze camera

It’s important to note that RTSP is disabled by default on Wyze cameras, so you’ll need to manually install the firmware to enable it. You’ll also need a memory card to install the firmware. In this guide, we’ll use the Wyze Cam v3 as an example.

Here are the steps to enable the RTSP function:

1. Insert the memory card in your computer.

2. Download the RTSP firmware for your Wyze camera.(Wyze no longer provides the rtsp firmware, you can download it from the link I have provided)

3. Unzip the downloaded file and check that the file name is correct.

  • For Wyze Cam v2 and Pan, the file name is:demo.bin
  • For Wyze Cam v3, the file name is:demo_wcv3.bin

4. Transfer the renamed bin file to the root directory of the microSD card.

3. Select ‘Open Network Stream’.

4. In the Network tab, enter the RTSP URL generated by the Wyze app in the previous section.

Connect to RTSP

5. Click ‘Open’ and you should now be able to view live video from your Wyze Cam v3 on your computer.

It’s important to note that RTSP can only be played on a Local Area Network (LAN) and not remotely.
