Comment on Wyze security camera owners reported that they could briefly see feeds from cameras they didn’t own

Puzzle_Sluts_4Ever@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

So I have a few wyze cameras but it isn’t the end of the world as I specifically placed them where they would benefit me but i wouldn’t care if cops got access to the footage (so specifically pointing at my front door, not the street).

But apparently amazon has both the coral USB dongles and yet another pi 4 that I really don’t need on sale so… yolo, let’s frigate.

Anyone aware of any good wireless outdoor cameras that play well with that ecosystem? Will eventually run ethernet for POE and the like but “eventually” is not any time soon.

These cameras work very well with the wz_mini_hacks firmware completely cut off from the internet. I’m using frigate and home assistant for notifying and it’s honestly way better than the wyze app ever was.

I’m running frigate on a Lenovo m900 with the coral USB accelerator and my CPU usage is super low so you could probably get away with the Pi4!

I’ve been using Amcrest cameras with Frigate and a Coral USB. It’s been working perfectly. My cameras are on a VLAN with no Internet access and it hasn’t caused any issues.

  Do you have any of their doorbells? I went back to a physical doorbell button with home assistants sky connect dongle linked up to a motion sensor at the door just so I know when someone’s there but would love to get a camera up there that isn’t some ring bs

    I have the Amcrest AD410 actually. I’m pretty sure the Amcrest app uses cloud but I could be wrong. That said, it integrates with home assistant and frigate perfectly at the local level so I get instant notifications when there is motion. If they ring the doorbell I leverage home assistant to be notified immediately along with a picture of when the button was pressed. I’ve been very happy with it.

Is the Pi4 on sale still around the 100$ mark?

I’d love another Pi at the original.prices

  Less than that. I can get a pi4 2GB for about $65 CAD in stock right now and about $10 more for a 4GB. Looks like the 1GB and 8GB are out of stock.

I’ve been partial to amcrest they’re affordable and “us” based even though they’re rebranded dahua cameras. Everything I’ve read says they’re compatible with frigate and even home assistant if you plan to use that as well. I’ve been trying to do a similar setup for myself.
