Camera FFmpeg Verifiedhomebridge-camera-ffmpeg | Works | RTSP from docker-wyze-bridge exposed to HomeKit via camera-ffmpeg.Saved copy… have to transcode anything to make it compatible. Ffmpeg is only needed to receive the RTSP stream and output an encrypted SRTP stream. I’m using docker-wyze-bridge to get RTSP streams from my Wyze cameras, then using homebridge-camera-ffmpeg to put those streams in HomeKit. Each running stream’s ffmpeg uses maybe 1% CPU on my little ARM-based QNAP NAS. If you are using Camera FFmpeg, for each camera under Advanced set the video codec to “copy”. In the JSON it’s “videoconfig”: { “vcodec”: “copy” } and if you’re using a different plugin the raw ffmpeg arg you want is “-vcodec copy” or … Excerpt saved from Arctic Shift Reddit archive on 2026-10-22. | Local | Reddit comment · 2025-04 |

Camera FFmpeg Verifiedhomebridge-camera-ffmpeg | Partly works | Wyze plugin gives no video; wyze-bridge RTSP plus camera-ffmpeg works, or use ScryptedSaved copyThe Wyze plugin is for the smart home devices. You can turn cameras on and off with it, but not get video. You’ll need Wyze-bridge to provide RTSP/motion events and the camera-ffmpeg plugin for that.

| homebridge-wyze-connected-home-op | Partly works | Plugin only supports sensors, not camerasSaved copyHi, I’m trying to use Homebridge to link my Wyze cameras to HomeKit. The only thing I’ve found so far is homebridge-wyze-connected-home-op, which only really supports sensors. I know that there’s a way using the ffmpeg plugin, but I’m not sure how to do it, and I don’t know if it requires a RTSP flash. Help appreciated.

| Scrypted | Partly works | Wyze plugin shows them as switches; Scrypted recommended insteadSaved copySo I installed Homebridge in a VM on a spare workstation at home. I was able to get my Ring cameras to display but my Wyze cams only show up as switches? I assume I installed the wrong plugin to get the Wyze cams to work correctly. They are running current Wyze factory firmware. Do I have to flash them with RTSP firmware and then install another plugin? I have copies of the official Wyze RTSP firmware I found online but is it better to flash them with something else that supports RTSP? Is there a web link someone can share that is still good that really walks me through all of this as I am a … Excerpt saved from Arctic Shift Reddit archive on 2026-10-22. | Connection not stated | Reddit thread · 2022-12 |
