wyzecam

p2pcam is a library for streaming audio and video from your wyze cameras using the wyze native firmware. It is derived from https://github.com/kroo/wyzecam/

That means no need to flash rtsp-specific firmware, and full support for the v3 hardware!

Basic Usage

Streaming video in 11 lines of code!

import asyncio
import logging
from os import PathLike
from typing import Any, Optional, Union
import aiofiles
import cv2
from p2pcam import MotionDetector, P2PSession, P2PSettings, ServiceBroker

_Logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)


async def run_app(*,
                  data: Any = None,
                  file: Optional[Union[PathLike, str]] = None):

    settings = await P2PSettings.parse(data=data, file=file)

    broker = ServiceBroker(settings=settings)
    await broker.async_prepare()

    async with aiofiles.open(file, 'wb') as file:
        raw_data = settings.json().encode('utf-8')
        await file.write(raw_data)

    with P2PSession(settings=settings,
                    camera=1,
                    bitrate=P2PSession.BITRATE_360P) as sess:
        motion_detector = MotionDetector()
        for (frame, frame_info) in sess.recv_video_frame_ndarray():
            frame, thframe = motion_detector.detect(frame=frame)
            if frame is None:
                continue
            cv2.imshow("Video Feed", frame)
            cv2.imshow("Motion Feed", thframe)
            # Press 'esc' for quit
            if cv2.waitKey(1) == 27:
                break

    # Destroy all windows
    cv2.destroyAllWindows()


def main():
    file = './settings.json'
    email = "example@example.com"
    password = "my super secret"
    asyncio.run(run_app(file=file))


if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

Features

Send local commands (via WyzeIOTC class)
Support for all wyze camera types (including v3 cameras!)
Uses the tutk protocol for communicating over the local network.
Optional support for opencv and libav for easy decoding of the video feed!

Installation

pip install -U wyzecam

To install shared library use

p2pcam_install_libs "https://github.com/nblavoie/wyzecam-api/blob/master/wyzecam-sdk/TUTK_IOTC_Platform_14W42P1.zip"

This will download, unzip and copy the required files.

You will then need a copy of the shared library libAVAPIs.so and libIOTCAPIs.so. You can use this SDK or another version that contains the files.

In case you have shared library files, you can add directly by using following

p2pcam_install_libs /path/to/file/libAVAPIs.so /path/to/file/libIOTCAPIs.so
