In this segment, the speaker discusses the exciting update from Wyze regarding their beta software for cameras and app, which now supports the RTSP (Real-Time Streaming Protocol). This allows integration with any NVR (Network Video Recorder) software. The speaker explains the steps to set up RTSP with the beta firmware—starting with downloading the appropriate RTSP firmware for the specific Wyze camera model, formatting an SD card to FAT32, and copying the renamed firmware file (demo.bin) onto the SD card. Then, they instruct to insert the SD card into the Wyze camera, hold a button while powering it up, and wait for the light to change and start flashing. Meanwhile, they also outline the process of becoming a beta tester for the Wyze app via TestFlight for iOS users.

In this segment, the video demonstrates the setup process for a new camera. The user first observes the camera blinking, indicating it’s ready for setup. They press the button again and hear “ready to connect,” guiding them to select the device type in the app. They then input their home Wi-Fi SSID and password, scan a QR code with the camera which communicates readiness, and proceed by naming the device “wise cam.” After setup completes, they navigate to advanced settings to enable RTSP, generate a user and password, and obtain the camera’s URL. The final step involves integrating the camera into the home assistant, noting the camera’s IP address for further configuration.
