Wyse Cameras: Live Viewing And Comprehensive Access

If you want to view all your Wyze cameras live, you can do so through the Wyze Web View. This feature allows you to access your Wyze Cam's live stream from a web browser on your PC, Mac, smart TV, or tablet. To use Wyze Web View, you need to have an active service plan and a subscription to Cam Plus or Cam Protect. You can also use the Wyze app to view multiple camera feeds simultaneously on your phone, with up to four screens per device group.

Using the Wyze app

To view your Wyze cameras live, you can use the Wyze app on your phone or the Wyze Web View on your computer. Here's a step-by-step guide to using the Wyze app:

• Download/Open the Wyze App: If you don't already have the app, you can download it from your device's app store.
• Add Your Wyze Cameras: Ensure that all the Wyze cameras you want to view are added to the app. Once added, each camera feed will appear in a list of views on the Home screen. This setup is manageable for one or two cameras, but it can become cumbersome if you have many cameras to monitor.
• Create a Camera Group: To view multiple cameras simultaneously, you can create a camera group. Go to the top left corner of the Home screen and click the '+' icon. Select "Add Device Group" and then choose "Camera Group."
• Select Your Cameras and Name Your Group: In this step, you'll choose which cameras you want in the group and give the group a name. For instance, you might group the cameras monitoring the playroom or the outdoor security cameras.
• Access Your Grouped Cameras: Once you've created your camera group, you can find it on the Home screen. Select the group name to access all the cameras in that group simultaneously.
• Viewing on Your Phone: You can view up to four screens per device group on your phone. For the best experience, turn your phone sideways and enable auto-rotate to see the cameras in a 2x2 grid view.
• Considerations: While the Wyze app allows you to view multiple cameras at once, there may be physical limitations due to the size of your smartphone screen. For an even better multi-feed viewing experience, consider upgrading to Cam Plus or Cam Protect and using Wyze Web View on a larger computer screen.

By following these steps, you can effectively use the Wyze app to monitor multiple Wyze cameras simultaneously, giving you a convenient and comprehensive view of your camera feeds.

Using the TinyCam app

To use the TinyCam app to see all Wyze cameras live, follow these steps:

• Install the TinyCam Pro app on your Android device.
• Set up your Wyze cameras by connecting them to your Wi-Fi network and configuring their settings according to the Wyze instructions.
• Open the TinyCam Pro app and go to "Manage Cameras."
• Add your Wyze cameras to TinyCam Pro by selecting "Add IP camera, NVR/DVR."
• In the "Camera Settings," enter the camera vendor, model, hostname, port number, username, and password for each Wyze camera.
• If you are using the Wyze Cam Pan model, you can control the pan/tilt/zoom features and enable two-way audio through the TinyCam Pro app.
• To view the live feed from all your Wyze cameras, make sure they are selected in the TinyCam Pro app, and you will be able to see all the live streams simultaneously.
• You can also use the "Scan Network" feature in TinyCam Pro to automatically detect and add your Wyze cameras to the app.
• Note that you will need to set up port forwarding on your router to access your Wyze cameras from a mobile network. This can be done by forwarding all traffic from your private camera to an external network, e.g. 192.168.0.3:8080 to your_external_ip:8080. Refer to your router manual or contact your network administrator for detailed instructions.

Using a web browser

To see all Wyze cameras live using a web browser, you will need an active service plan, a subscription to Cam Plus or Cam Protect, and a supported browser. The supported browsers are Google Chrome, Safari, and Microsoft Edge. Wyze Web View does not support Firefox.

Firstly, add a license to your Wyze Cam, then go to https://my.wyze.com/ and log in. You can also go to view.wyze.com/live and sign in to your Wyze account.

Once you have logged in, click on "My Cameras". You will then be able to view the live stream for your Wyze Cam on that page. You will see a list of your cameras, and you can click on the play button to view the live feed of a specific camera. You can also view events from your cameras from a separate tab.

If any of your devices do not support Wyze Web View, you will see an alert message.

Using a DVR monitor

Firstly, on the main screen of your DVR monitor, look for the '+' symbol and click on it. This will open up options to add and manage your devices. From there, select "Add Device Group", which will allow you to create a group of cameras that you want to view together. Name your group, and then proceed to select the individual Wyze cameras that you want to include in this group.

Once you've added all the desired cameras to the group, you can now access them simultaneously by simply clicking on the group name on the main screen. You will then be able to see all the cameras in that group live, typically in a grid view. This is a convenient way to monitor multiple Wyze cameras at once, giving you a comprehensive overview of your surveillance system.

Do note that viewing multiple live streams simultaneously can be demanding on your bandwidth. You may encounter some loading issues or lag, depending on your WiFi environment and setup. It is recommended to test this feature out and ensure your network can handle the load.

Additionally, you can also explore third-party apps, such as TinyCam, which can be used on devices like Fire TV, Google TV, Chromecast, Android boxes, or Fire Stick. These apps may offer additional features and customization options for viewing your Wyze cameras.
