Cameras & doorbells

[bubbatex]

This is a question for the more technically inclined folks here. I have a subnet specifically for my security cameras with a strong firewall that does not permit inbound or outbound Internet traffic. I can, however, access these cameras from my other subnets. I also have a VPN set up for remote viewing. 

So my question is, can Roku cameras be used in this manner? Weather through the Roku app or via standard IP cam interface such as RTSP or ONVIF.

There's a thread about topic but I am not sure if anyone actually garnered a solution.

You'd need to figure out what port the cameras were using for RTSP.

I tried using VLC long ago to view http: stream of my dashcam with success.

Wish I could help more, this wasn't my strong suit.

If you figure it out I'd be curious to know what you did.

Roku launched their smart home line about a week after I bought Wyze cameras, and they're the same system. Those cameras don't natively provide RTSP but there's a github bridge that works for me (https://github.com/mrlt8/docker-wyze-bridge). Odds are pretty good it will work with the Roku cams. If not, I hope someone will let me know.

Do the Wyze Floodlight V3s record audio to the MicroSD?

These Roku cameras only record video at the moment....

@GlenF, I couldn't get it to work.  I got something like "Invalid credentials".  I don't have any Wyze credentials and my Roku credentials didn't work.

[GlenF]

Ah, that makes sense. I forgot I had to provide Wyze credentials when I set it up. I don't know how much trouble it would be to try and change the URL it wants to login to. Even so, it looks like that authorization means it needs the internet.

It's actually not too hard, but I'm not real sure what URL to use or whether it uses the same mechanism to authenticate.  I'd say it's pretty clear that it uses some Wyze URL judging by the traffic I've observed.
