In the event someone comes across this thread as I did and is struggling with the fact that the custom firmware breaks the automated night mode I used the following solution. I have a batch file that sends three curl commands:

morning.bat
curl -u dafang:ismart12 http://192.168.1.420/cgi-bin/action.cgi?cmd=auto_night_mode_stop
curl -u dafang:ismart12 http://192.168.1.420/cgi-bin/api.cgi?action=ir_led_off
curl -u dafang:ismart12 http://192.168.1.420/cgi-bin/api.cgi?action=ir_cut_off

night.bat
curl -u dafang:ismart12 http://192.168.1.420/cgi-bin/action.cgi?cmd=auto_night_mode_stop
curl -u dafang:ismart12 http://192.168.1.420/cgi-bin/api.cgi?action=ir_led_on
curl -u dafang:ismart12 http://192.168.1.420/cgi-bin/api.cgi?action=ir_cut_on

If you've changed the username and password then you'd change the dafang:ismart12 (I've shown the default username/password here for reference) and you'll also need to customize the ip address. This obviously assumes that you have curl installed on your system. I just have Windows run the batch files in the morning/evening but you could also schedule BlueIris to do it as a scheduled PTZ command.

For reference, the first turns auto night mode off. I have it run every time because if the camera resets it turns it back on. If you don't do this the camera will turn the led back off on its own. The second turns the ir leds on/off and the third turns the ir filter on/off. If anyone has a better way to do this or suggestions on how to improve this solution I'd love to hear them.

Just an update from my testing. The Wi-Fi in the custom open firmware is not as good as the Wi-Fi in the default proprietary firmware. Because I have these cameras installed outside, and they go through brick walls, they don’t have enough bandwidth to do proper streaming video. What I have done is configured blue Iris to connect to the JPEG stream once per second. They also get strange color glitches every few seconds. However, in the current set up, I have had them running this way for a few months with no more tweaking, and they have been mostly hassle free. Unless I can tweak these to operate better, I would not buy them again, unless I could get them with a wired ethernet connection. I have three of them.

These things are $15 shipped today on AMZN. I agree they are junk, but I ordered one so I can learn about how to update it to the open source firmware / software etc.
My expectations are low, and I won't use it for any mission critical tasks.

My guess is they are closing them out since they are so cheap, but I may be wrong.
And I got ripped off. Order never arrived and I had to get a refund from Amazon. What a total scam. Dozens of similar complaints with the seller I used.

I've moved on to better cameras. Not going to bother.

How did you do that in BI?

HI There,

I came a cross a youtube video yesterday showing that Wyze have released a Beta version of Firmware that will allow RTSP streams without the need for the custom firmware hack. Which in theory means we could add them too Blue Iris.

I tried one of these about 6 months ago with the Dafang hack and the quality was horrible compared to my 4 Amcrest cameras. My father-in-law has 3 of the Wyzecam V2's and a Wyze Cam Pan. With the original firmware the quality of the streams is actually quite good.

Has anyone tried this new firmware from Wyze? Maybe I'll have to try and convince my father-in-law let me try one of his cameras lol

yeah the quality is fine too issue that I've had with wife cams and blue iris is the concert dropout because the Wi-Fi simply isn't good

Just tried this. Works slightly better than custom firmware (No strange colors, decent image quality, wifi isn't weaker), but for some reason there are frequent connectivity drops right now. Not quite stable just yet. Similar to what other people are describing here:

Having trouble with RTSP firmware

I wasn't able to get the beta firmware to flash last night after screwing with the camera for 45 minutes +/-

Has anyone else had issues flashing this firmware? I'll probably try again on the weekend.

Currently have firmware rev 4.19.4.48 installed. I've seen some rumbling on other forums about this being sensitive to micro SD card size, formatted to FAT32, etc. Does anyone have any specific knowledge or experience with this?

This is what I did

Put the files on the SD card insert the SD card in run the setup when the camera reboots and starts flashing yellow remove the SD card run setup again and then insert the SD card and it should work.

Thanks for the feedback bboy. The way I read the instructions was that you needed to have the camera paired/synced in the Wyze app before attempting to flash the new beta firmware. I think you're saying you paired the camera in the Wyze app at the same time as flashing the new firmware? I'll give that a shot.

Sort of. I followed the instructions but when I rebooted the led just flashed yellow. I then removed the SD card. Re-booted and paired in the app and put the sd card back and it was running the beta
