In home surveillance camera
-
Because of some mental health issues with one of our children we're looking at getting a camera for the main part of our house. I don't need the typical features since this isn't there to catch people or animals when we're not home. Key features would be audio quality capture, WiFi, and ease of use/management. Have any of you worked with anything that might fit these requirements?

WyzeCam, and their cheap. $20 / each

At that price it wouldn't be a big deal if they weren't what I needed.

Drop a 32GB (max) SD card in it for full recording. you get about 2 days at HD quality. Long at SD.

32GB is the largest they'll take? (Haven't looked through specs yet.

Nevermind, found it. That is too bad, but not terrible.

I haven't looked at the specs in months, but I believe so. That would be the only reason I bought 32GB cards.

Okay, so install an 8GB SD card, flash the firmware on the camera, setup zoneminder and pull an RTSP feed from the camera into ZoneMinder.
Have as much storage as you can provide to ZM.

That's way too much work.

Hey she started with the complaining. Can't piss about one issue, and then say the alternative is "to much".

Go drink more coffee or something..
ZoneMinder is a decent solution, but is a ton of work to setup for a simple home solution.

Maybe piping the RTSP feed into OBS studio and just recording that to disk somewhere then.
I've not done this, but from looking at their forums others have looked at and done the same thing. (not sure with what camera though).

There is no native RTSP feed with Wyze cameras.
It requires a third party firmware.

That was mentioned above, and was what I was discussing.

Ignore @DustinB3403 here. The basic Wyze firmware with the card is more then enough for what you want to do. IIRC you can also subscribe to Wyze to get more data storage in their SaaS system. The only big problem I have with it is that you can't see the live feed or recordings from a PC. Although I think they are working on that.

:middle_finger_light_skin_tone: :middle_finger_medium_skin_tone: :middle_finger_medium-dark_skin_tone: :middle_finger_dark_skin_tone:Not sure what else you want from me here. I didn't start with "Use Wyze Cam and Zone Minder". I started with just "use Wyze Cam".
So go pound sand.

One of their recent communications said they will work on getting rstp in the official firmware. So they are improving. Which is quite impressive at that price point, you don't normally see continued development.

You're right. Sorry. I meant ignore the part about installing a 3rd party firmware and Zoneminder. It doesn't seem like that's a good use case here.
