WebRTC/RTSP/RTMP/HLS Bridge for Wyze Cam

Create a local WebRTC, RTSP, RTMP, or HLS/Low-Latency HLS stream for most of your Wyze cameras including the outdoor, doorbell, and 2K cams.

No modifications, third-party, or special firmware required.

It just works!

Streams direct from camera without additional bandwidth or subscriptions.

Based on @noelhibbard's script with kroo/wyzecam and bluenviron/mediamtx.

Important

As of July 2023, you will need to update your bridge to v2.3.x or newer for compatibility with the latest changes to the Wyze API.

See the supported cameras section for additional information.

Quick Start

Install docker and run:

docker run -p 8554:8554 -p 8888:8888 -p 5000:5000 mrlt8/wyze-bridge

You can then use the web interface at http://localhost:5000 where localhost is the hostname or ip of the machine running the bridge.

See basic usage for additional information or visit the wiki page for additional information on using the bridge as a Home Assistant Add-on.

What's Changed in v2.7.0

• Audio sync - bridge will now try to make minor adjustments to try to keep the video and audio in sync Thanks @carlosnasillo and everyone who helped with testing! (#388).
• Refactor for compatibility with Scrypted. Thanks @koush (#1066)
• Use K10050GetVideoParam for FW 4.50.4.x (#1070)
• Fix jittery video in Firefox (#1025)
• Retain MQTT Discovery Message Thanks @jhansche! (#920)

Home Assistant:

• Now uses addon_config instead of config Additional info
  • May need to cleanup old config manually.
• Reset alarm/siren state (#953) (#1051)

FAQ

• How does this work?
  • It uses the same SDK as the app to communicate directly with the cameras. See kroo/wyzecam for details.
• Does it use internet bandwidth when streaming?
  • Not in most cases. The bridge will attempt to stream locally if possible but will fallback to streaming over the internet if you're trying to stream from a different location or from a shared camera. See the wiki for more details.
• Can this work offline/can I block all wyze services?
  • No. Streaming should continue to work without an active internet connection, but will probably stop working after some time as the cameras were not designed to be used without the cloud. Some camera commands also depend on the cloud and may not function without an active connection. See wz_mini_hacks for firmware level modification to run the camera offline.
• Why aren't all wyze cams supported yet (OG/Doorbell Pro)?
  • These cameras are using a different SDK and will require a different method to connect and stream.

Compatibility

Should work on most x64 systems as well as on most modern arm-based systems like the Raspberry Pi 3/4/5 or Apple Silicon M1/M2/M3.

The container can be run on its own, in Portainer, Unraid, as a Home Assistant Add-on, locally or remotely in the cloud.

Some network adjustments may be needed - see this discussion for more information.

Basic Usage

docker-compose (recommended)

This is similar to the docker run command, but will save all your options in a yaml file.

1. Install Docker Compose.
2. Use the sample as a guide to create a docker-compose.yml file with your wyze credentials.
3. Run docker-compose up.

Once you're happy with your config you can use docker-compose up -d to run it in detached mode.

Caution

If your credentials have special characters, you must escape them or leave your credentials blank and use the webUI to login.

Note

You may need to update the WebUI links if you're changing the ports or using a reverse proxy.

Updating your container

To update your container, cd into the directory where your docker-compose.yml is located and run:

docker-compose pull # Pull new image
docker-compose up -d # Restart container in detached mode
docker image prune # Remove old images

Web-UI

The bridge features a basic Web-UI which can display a preview of all your cameras as well as direct links to all the video streams.

The web-ui can be accessed on the default port 5000:

http://localhost:5000/

• WebUI page
• WebUI API page

WebRTC

WebRTC should work automatically in Home Assistant mode, however, some additional configuration is required to get WebRTC working in the standard docker mode.

• WebRTC requires two additional ports to be configured in docker:

    ports:
      ...
      - 8889:8889 #WebRTC
      - 8189:8189/udp # WebRTC/ICE

• In addition, the WB_IP env needs to be set with the IP address of the server running the bridge.

    environment:
      - WB_IP=192.168.1.116

• See documentation for additional information/options.
