What are /r/tinycam's favorite Products & Services?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

I use a Minix NEO.

The one I use is older than the one I linked.

The Xiaomi Mi Box S should work as well as mine and is cheaper.

I have mine connected to a 27" monitor on my desk but using either on a TV or monitor with audio will give you a Smart TV in addition to the tinyCam server.

Exactly the same config works on other devices though for example here https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmZmcCJqG8JTwdQAUSAguCGocPzV8eAqSnwSSXo28yaYQh?filename=IMG_20210529_155831_449.jpg

Is there anyway to debug this or log or anything on tinycam side?

What is your "primary goal" here?

If you already own the Wyze camera, and your goal is to get events uploaded off-site, and to have continuous recordings, I would put a quality SD card in the camera and then consider subscribing to Wyze Cam+.

Or are you looking to buy or build indoor or outdoor cameras?

I use a Minix Android TV box.

This is a good one.

I've also had it running on a Firestick but it didn't work very well.

Get a tablet.

I use the fire 8 plus with wireless charging dock. Directions online for installing the google play store work perfectly, and it streams tinycam very well. It actually does much better with wyze app than my phone too, especially where it comes to reading qr codes for re-registering cams.

I'm using this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dingtai.snakecamera - slightly better looking interface and works fine with my endoscope and with microscope. but I'd love to see those cameras in tinyCam nonetheless :)

Which computer will be better for streaming cameras

the mini pc above

or this one

the min has more cores but the other one has better gpu .
what do you think ?

Yeah.. when I move, I'm gonna buy some amcrest cameras instead. Wyze and Yi cameras are nice at $25, but you can get 1080p PTZ amcrest cameras for $45 on amazon that natively supports RTSP and way more features then wyze. It's not worth the headache of trying to hack wyze to work properly.

You need a network scanner. Like this one

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.easymobile.lan.scanner

I'm assuming the camera is already installed on your WiFi. If you can unplug the camera. Run the scanner.

Take note of the names on your WiFi. Then plug in the camera and scan again. The new name will be your camera. The IP address will be listed with it.

1. You can use multiple brands at the same time in the app. Not only Eufy.
2. You can view up to 25 cameras at the same time.
3. You can view Eufy cameras on Android TV or Amazon Fire TV.
4. You can use app and any not used Android device as 24/7 NVR for Eufy with uploading to FTP, Google Drive, Dropbox, etc.
5. Internal web server for remote archive access and live view, e.g. for ActionTiles or Hubitat.
6. You can stream Eufy cameras to Youtube Live, Twitch (RTMP streaming).
7. Tasker integration.
8. And many many more. Check tinyCam PRO app description here https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alexvas.dvr.pro

Hi mate, it's this one:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cn.ubia.xshcam&hl=en_GB

Looking around, there are numerous 'brands' of these - all pretty much identical, however, they all use different apps like these. I've been trying to work it out for a few days and refuse to give up

For the display, I found a 42" 1080p television on Facebook Marketplace for $20. It's wall mounted above my computer desk with the Mini PC mounted under it. Since the miniPC only has VGA (which my TV doesn't have) and DisplayPort (which my TV doesn't have), I ended up getting an HDMI to DisplayPort cable and doing it that way.

I haven't looked into remote management. I have that computer, my desktop and my laptop all on a pushbutton KVM to keep the mouse/keyboard mess at a minimum and they each have their own dedicated monitors so I always have eyes-on even when I'm not steering.

I have it capture the clips in TinyCam and store them locally. The built in feature to sync to GoogleDrive is kinda buggy, so I end up using Google Autosync https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ttxapps.drivesync&hl=en_US to do a one-way sync (PC to the cloud) when it detects changes to that directory in the file system. That works pretty flawlessly. About once a month, I go into the directory in Google Drive and purge off old stuff, as it can add up quickly with that many cams.

I recently got the (EZVIZ DB1 - Smart Video Doorbell,... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07JNWP5M2?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share) and am loving it so far. It's actually a HikVision camera that's rebranded by several companies such as RCA, EZVIZ and Laview. But the camera internals are all the same and you can actually flash the firmware from any of those vendors to any of the others. I've flashed the LaView firmware onto my EXVIZ (using the HikVision tool) and now have ONVIF capability which I'm using to receive motion alerts to Blue Iris. Haven't tried it yet with TinyCam, but can't see why it wouldn't work.

Maybe for P2P connection adaptive bitrate is used. For RTSP constant bitrate used. Hard to guess.

Try to use this (or analog app) to check how much download bandwidth is used via Dahua and tinyCam app.
