Help adding Wyze camera (wyze_mini) modded

[bizwog]

I'm new to sysadmin/docker stuff. I see the config file example with ffmpeg option and a series of camera parameters to set below. I've got the Wyze camera setup for RTSP. Can someone provide a configuration example, please?

My other question is where do I look for the documentation that covers the possible configuration parameters such as stream type, etc.

Help is appreciated.

You can find the documentation for FFmpeg here

You can start out small by just specifying the minimum, something like this:

ffmpeg:
  camera:
    camera_one:
      name: Camera 1
      host: <IP or hostname>
      port: <port>
      path: <path to stream, for my Hikvision camera it is /Streaming/Channels/101/>
      username: <username>
      password: <password>

Has anyone been able to get a wyze cam working with Viseron? It seems that its not documented anywhere and doesnt follow standard RTSP cam configurations.

Wyze doesn't do rtsp out of the box. They used to have a non-supported rtsp firmware but its no longer available.
Im trying wyze-bridge (https://github.com/mrlt8/docker-wyze-bridge) and it works with vlc and for general camera view.
So far I haven't been able to get the wyze-bridge rtsp connection to work with Viseron.

For detectors Im using ov (openvino) on an older intel cpu and its ok. Im not sure what the options are for amd/amdgpu, although Id like to use an amd gpu. On to wyze... Im not sure what changed but I do have wyze bridge working with Frigate. For the config in Frigate I just have the path set to the wyze bridge camera . Something like this
zcam1: ffmpeg: inputs: - path: rtsp://dockerhostIP:9554/cam1 roles: - record - detect detect: enabled: true fps: 5 width: 1280 height: 720 objects: track: - person - dog - cat record: enabled: True events: pre_capture: 5 post_capture: 5 objects: - person - cat - dog

ahh you ended up just sticking with Frigate and didnt use Viseron? Thanks for the info!

Sorry it wasnt clear. Viseron detection seems to work better for me but getting the wyze cameras to work was higher priority.

Both Frigate and Viseron use ffmpeg to process the camera streams. If you can use camera in Frigate, you also can use it in Viseron and vise versa. It's just a matter of specifying the correct input args/path etc, and docker network layout.

May be your Frigate container has host network mode? Or may be it's in the same docker bridge network with Wyze bridge container?

AMD GPU/iGpu can be used for hardware accelerated video encoding/decoding/processing via VAAPI, but no viseron compatible object/face detectors can use it, as i know.

I was able to get this working with by swapping both the wyze docker and viseron to custom br0 with their own IP in Unraid. Now to setup cams and all that. I only have a Ryzen 2600 in it at the moment and am shooting for low power so I dont really want to put the spare 1070 ti in it. Was thinking about getting one of those new Ryzen 5500GT/5600GT. I think Viseron can use coral so that should work on that end.
