I just set up a Wyze v2 camera with wz_mini_hacks using the latest v2 firmware available from the Wyze website, which is 4.9.9.1574, dated 12/7/2022. I set ENABLE_SELFHOSTED_MODE = true as I want to set my router to completely block the camera from accessing the Internet. Everything seemed to be working fine but then I realized the RTSP feed is constantly dying after 10 seconds, then it's offline for about 20 seconds, then it's fine for 10 seconds. When I change the router to allow the device to access the Internet, the RTSP feed is fine.
I'm pretty sure this is because Wyze changed something in firmware 4.9.9.1433, released 9/27/2022 that makes the wz_mini_hacks patch to iCamera to allow ENABLE_SELFHOSTED_MODE no longer work. If someone more knowledgeable can confirm this, the wz_mini_hacks README should be updated to explain this. The "Self-Hosted / Isolated Mode" section of the readme does state that this feature is supported on v2 firmware 4.9.8.1002, but the "Features" section near the top of the README states "Works on ANY firmware release up to 4.36.9.139" so it's not at all clear that newer firmware versions don't work in Self-Hosted / Isolated mode.
The Wyze release notes for 4.9.9.1433 state "Due to the security improvement on this firmware, you will need to go through the setup process for your camera if you go back to firmware 4.9.8.1002 or below. Because of this, we are removing those firmware files from this page." But the 4.9.8.1002 firmware is still available for download at https://download.wyzecam.com/firmware/v2/demo_4.9.8.1002.zip
Maybe change the Features section of the README to "Works on ANY firmware release up to 4.36.9.139 (for v3) or 4.9.8.1002 (for v2). DO NOT UPGRADE BEYOND THESE FIRMWARE VERSIONS IF YOU WANT RTSP, ENABLE_SELFHOSTED_MODE, or any cmd FEATURES!"
