Camera connection stability issues, firmware upgrades?

[pdxbrit]

Hi Folks,

I posted this as an issue-240, before I noticed the discussion section, so my apologies for that! I'm a bit stuck, and don't know how to proceed. I think my initial mistake was upgrading a device firmware without thinking about how it might impact the wyze-bridge.

Originally I had one Wyze Cam v3 working with the 1.0.2 version of wyze-bridge. It would occasionally go down for a few seconds every few hours but was otherwise reliable and working. That camera is running 4.36.6.17 when I added a second v3 camera, running 4.36.3.19 the one running 4.36.6.17 would connect, and then immediately disconnect, and keep doing that. When I filtered out the second camera, the 4.36.3.19 one, the4.36.6.17 would work again.

I've since discovered I was running 1.0.2 not 1.0.3, I've upgraded to 1.0.3 and also upgraded the camera to 4.36.7.22 and I still see the problem. In fact now even when I have only one camera configured the 4.36.7.22 one cannot stay connected for more than a a second or so, and now the 4.36.3.19 one disconnects every couple of mins.

Attached is a log with just the 4.36.3.19 (front-porch-cam) and one with just the 4.36.7.22 (garagecam).

Current docker compose file:

version: '2.4'
services:
    wyze-bridge:
        container_name: wyze-bridge
        restart: unless-stopped
        image: mrlt8/wyze-bridge:latest # Use a prebuilt image

        ports:

            - 8554:8554
            - 8889:8889
        environment:

            - FILTER_BLOCK=true

            - RTSP_LOGLEVEL=debug
            - FRESH_DATA=1

Any ideas how to troubleshoot this more, or how to resolve it?

Cheers, Mark.

There is already a stability issue....anyways am trying net_mode=P2P not LAN...maybe you can try it as well.

Thanks for the tip @AdiAbuAli. Unfortunately initial testing with NET_MODE=P2P looks to have the same issue of disconnecting every 1-2 minutes (for the 4.36.3.19 camera) and instantly for the 4.36.7.22 camera. I take it you saw an improvement with that?

No not stable, but v1.02 is more stable than 1.03 for me. Also (despite a case where you have bad wifi for one camera), i noticed that whenever the camera tries to communicate to wyze servers (e.g. open wyze app and see the strream, or enable record based on event detection,...etc), stream in wyze bridge freeze, and if the wyze kept that connection with servers, the bridge streams goes down completely. One final note, the new beta FW 4.36.8.15 for v3, have low bitrate and FPS over the bridge... Thanks,
