Thanks for the tip. It looks like zoneminder might support wyze cams via RTSP. I like that it’s open source and already in the distro repositories.

I don’t know what any of that means right now but I appreciate it and am sure it will make sense once I research this a bit.

This is very helpful information. Thank you. I’ll go with NVR/FrigateNVR in that case. Unfortunately, I need to stick with wireless cameras because there are next to no power sources available outside the building. Good to know my wyze cameras don’t have to be e-waste in the case of FrigateNVR.

The online retailers seem to sell DVR+wireless camera bundles.

This sounds great. Thank you very much for the tip. Software DVR would be even better.

That sounds like exactly what I need, thank you. I will research them.
