@UserCustomerGwen or @WyzeDongsheng

This is a client side surveillance dashboard. The need for RTSP enables the user to deploy an NVR which brings with it the benefits of a surveillance dashboard.

However, many users can enjoy similar functionality without adding an NVR. Local storage required for viewing history of course.

The surveillance dashboard would have the following features:

  1. View all cameras in equally sized squares.

  2. View one camera in a larger square, while viewing all remaining cameras in small squares.

  3. View two cameras in a larger square, while viewing all remaining cameras in small squares.

  4. View four cameras in a larger square, while viewing all remaining cameras in small squares.

  5. View live or syncronized from continuous storage.

  6. Single time line slider with highlighting that signifies motion detection (no 5 minute cool down period)

  7. Named square presets. User selects a squares template. User populates squares with cameras. User saves squares preset. When viewing surveillance dashboard, user has toggle to select/change between squares preset.

  8. Integrate with cloud account in order to reverse proxy the dashboard to the client when running on the internet.

This feature could later be expanded to provide NVR like functionality on Android (box), eliminating the need for local storage in cameras.

I found Tinycam Pro app on Android works well for Streaming Wyze Cams simultaneously

46

Where can I find instructions on how to add Wyze cam to TinyCam pro?

47

Instructions linked to set up Tinycam. Or you can do youtube search. I know there are instructions there, too.

I wonder how woud this work with alexa. Do you just say: “alexa, show all cameras” for it to view all camera at once or do you just say “alexa, show [camera name] and [camera name] and…”? I’m curious about this.

There are several threads on here about Alexa. The search function (magnifying glass at top-right) is really robust on this forum. :wink:

Live multi view; is this a extremely hard feature to implement ? ; is that why we are not seeing this updated?

54

@andrew_nyr, we’ll do our best to have it out this quarter! We tried a version in alpha but it wasn’t very stable so we had to push it back while we work on it. @maxspeedvette, I’m not a programmer so I don’t think I have the best answer to your question. But I do know that we’ve been working on it for quite a while and it’s still not stable enough for beta so it’s at least moderately difficult.

I had zmodo cams for a short time, they were able to implement it in a short time. However their recording ability is lacking and we’re not compatible with with tiny cam and that is the reason I chose to switch. The tiny cam app is what I use primarily. The playback feature has some issue as well here. However for the price I’ll stick with wyze. But live multi view is important. Thank for the work you are all doing for us. We look forward to Future updates.

Im not sure how hard this would be, but I think that it’s connected and relative to the topic.

An Apple TV app for streaming live feeds. perhaps it would allow for several split configurations 4,6,8. cameras etc.

Hi, I would love to see a rolling effect on the app where the camers switch one by one and you can simply tap on the screen if you need to look further at a specific camere/live stream. A rolling effect would be better for those of us with multiple camers as we can leave our ipads or phones on live stream like a security camera system that you can control how long each camera is displayed. I own 8 now (5 V2 and 3 pan cams). So this would be an awesome feature. Thanks, Eddie O

It would be nice to be able to view more then one live feed as I have multiple cams mounted.
