Fully-Local Wyze Cam V3 in Frigate
Problem Statement Wyze makes some really great and unbelievably cheap WiFi cameras with some equally unbelievably garbage firmware, terrible subscription-pushing software, and Highly Questionable security practices. Good news: there are some wonderful projects out there to solve basically all the problems… but none of the docs I’ve come across are truly comprehensive and completely accurate. I’m going to attempt to fix that here.
References, Sources, Prior Art I am obviously standing on the shoulders of giants here, others have done WAY more work than I have, I’m just trying to synthesize and clarify what worked for me, if only so it’s all in one place whenever I decide I need yet another camera.
