      was fiddling around and noticed you can snag the stream from Octopi in to DWI. Simply add /webcam/?action=stream to the end of your Octopi address.
      example:192.168.123.99/webcam/?action=stream

        @dc42 said in WyzeCamV2 used as an IP camera with Duet Wifi:

        the file \config\usb_eth_driver.conf.dist

        Does anyone have any detailed instructions on what to put in the file \config\usb_eth_driver.conf.dist? I know I need to add SSID and password. I just don't know the format.

          @dc42 There is a mistake in my notes. The line "Edit the file \config\usb_eth_driver.conf.dist and add your SSID and password (only 2.4 Ghz)." is incorrect. It should be "Rename \config\wpa_supplicant.conf.dist to \config\wpa_supplicant.conf and add to it your SSID and password (only 2.4 Ghz)."

                @lvnona I had the same problem when I found two typos and corrected them in short intervals. Waiting a bit, it was possible to save then. spam may mean protection against those broadcasted messages.

                  I wanted to share that I found a way to allow no login access to the still image webpage when using the Dafang Hacks firmware on a Wyze Camera V2

                  You will need to either ssh into your camera or take out the sd card and modify the lighttpd.config file
                  If accessing via ssh you will need to use vi, or if modifying via the sd card on your computer use a file editor like notepad++.

                  path via ssh: /system/sdcard/config/lighttpd.conf
                  path via sd card: \config\lighttpd.conf

                  once you have opened the file find the following line, should be line 40

                  $HTTP["url"] !~ "^/.well-known/(.*)" {
                  

                  and change it to the following

                  $HTTP["url"] !~ "^/cgi-bin/currentpic.cgi|/.well-known/(.*)" {
                  

                  save the file and reboot if accessing via ssh or reinstall the sd card in the camera and plug it back in. You should now be able to access the following link via your browser with out logging into the camera web interface

                  http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/cgi-bin/currentpic.cgi
                  (replace the xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) with your camera ip address or camera host name.

                  Once you have confirmed that this works you can place the link into the duet web control settings under the web camera config section in the setting page.

                  What this change does is specifically exempt the path to the currentpic.cgi webpage page from being protected via the login prompt. The rest of the web interface is still protected by the login prompt.

                  Please note that I have not validated if this change compromises the security of the default config Dafang Hacks firmware, so proceed at your own risk.

                      Mine apparently had old firmware, the config\lighttpd.conf file didn't have anything resembling the above. I did discover 'autoupdate.sh' while poking around. If anyone finds their file to be not as described, try this:

                      You may or may not wish to use the -f (force) option.

                      ssh root@192.168.x.x                            default password is 'ismart12'
                      cd /system/sdcard
                      ******* edit autoupdate.sh with vi and remove *.user and autoupdate.sh from the filter *********
                      ./autoupdate.sh -d /system/sdcard -f -v
                      

                      Check your /system/sdcard/config/wpa_supplicant.conf and adjust for your network, if required. Mine was OK.

                        And, after all of that, NO JOY. However:

                        ssh root@192.168.x.x                            default password is 'ismart12'
                        cd /system/sdcard
                        cp lighttpd.conf.dist lighttpd.conf
                        

                        And then the described edits, and a reboot, and VIOLA! The currentpic URL no longer requires a password.

                        WOO HOO

                          Just bought 2 WyzecamV2 just for this.

                          Turns out I can't connect to them (either of them).

                          The app works well, I see the RTSP feed via VLC, but I cannot connect to it through either ssh or www (http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx nor https://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx)

                          Any idea? I did extract all files to a microSD, edited the files on it as per instructions (wpa file, not the network).

                          as mentioned, works well in the app, VLC, even coupled to my Synology NAS, but can'T get it to work...

                            It is hard to tell from your description, are you confident you got the firmware change to "take"? Do you see a web page with admin/ismart12 as the uid/pwd? (or root/ismart12, I don't remember)

                              I do not see that at all. Seems like the firmware didn't update. How do you update this firmware exactly? Is there a special procedure? I updated via the usb card to the latest official first thing, then updated to the second "official" with RTSP.

                                  I gave up on it for the moment.

                                  I was able to get it installed, but it is VERY unstable. The video would turn off randomly, and the only way to turn it back on was to go in the video settings, and select another format 2-3 times, then it would MAYBE come back. then if you reboot, it might work, or not.

                                  Same thing on 2 cameras. Reinstalled the firmware with RTSP for now until they have a more stable version.

                                    @Thalios I used the Dafang hacks on multiple Wyze v2 without any problems and had them running that way for ages. Have switched all bar the one I use on my HEVO back to stock firmware as I'm using a different DVR. Hope you have better luck when you retry

                                      Ultimately, Dafan Hacks is one way to make a $25 to $35 Wyze camera have extra features not often found at that price point. If that whole lash-up is not working, each of us has to decide when the time invested exceeds buying a $60 to $80 camera that has those features "out of the box".

                                        Hi, I just purchased a Wyze cam V2 and have a question. By applying this hack will it remove the ability to use the Wyze App?
                                        Thanks

                                          from what I saw, yes. the Wyze app is no longer usable. You can reflash to basic firmware though and get it back (that's what I did)

                                            Hey y'all,

                                            Sorry for raising this thread from the dead, but I just received a pair of Wyze cams for my printer setup and I'm having some issues configuring it with the "Dafang" hack. It appears as though I have everything installed correctly, as I can access the cameras webpage and all, but it doesn't like to stream my video feed.

                                            Basically, it doesn't actually stream the video. I go to the https://MyIPAddress/cgi-bin/currentpic.cgi webpage and it only loads one picture and if I want it to update I have to manually click refresh. I also tried to open the stream in VLC player and it wouldn't open (well, I think is did actually open, it's just that the entire "stream" is just 1 frame, so it immediately closes because the "stream" is super short). I honestly don't know how to fix the problem
