@JaredBusch mentioned alternative firmware for the Wyze cams the other day. Looks like someone has made the update process easy, and open source.

I might have to try it out once my new home lab box arrives and I have a place to put a DVR of some sort.
Worst thing that can happen is I'm out $20
OpenIPC is crap and dead. It is a fork of Dafang and hasn't been updated.
The firmware I mentioned is Dafang.
It is super easy.
Glad I mentioned something before jumping in!

This is interesting. . I'm assuming @travisdh1 you're thinking of doing this to multiple wyze cams and recording to a digital DVR?

ZoneMinder is the solution I mentioned elsewhere. I have it spun up but not configured yet.

So you have to flash the firmware on your cameras and use zoneminder to capture the feed.
Has anyone done a how to on this yet?

ZoneMinder doesn't even support Windows and has no plans too.

What, you don't put devices on a production network that you have to put a 3rd part firmware on to get them to work how you want?

@JaredBusch I'm probably just blind but where did you get the boot.bin from as I'm not seeing it.
I have a Wyze cam PTZ if it matters.

It is named something else. You have to rename it that.

Well, I apparently messed up a setting for the auto might kode. It was working last night.

Is Dafang still the best choice here?

Yes, but not for long. Wyze is finally going to be adding things native.
