#Wyze camera outage 2025-02-21?

Anyone else using wyze cameras via docker-wyze-bridge? I'm seeing all mine offline today and wondering if other wyze users see the same. These have been stable for many months before now.

TL;DR looks like Wyze locked down access to cameras across certain network boundaries. Moving all components onto same LAN seems to mitigate this.

Such a pain in the ass

#

Appreciate the article though, I've been messing with this thing all morning

Yea, it would be be understandable if they gave notice and a way to customize. It's a reasonable security change for average user but rollout seems to really pinch users like us.

#

LMK if you need any help with the mitigation. Can do my best to help debug if you need anything.

I wonder if this is a change they plan on sticking with, or something they will push an update to fix.

weak sentinel
#

Seems intentional imo

grave marsh
#

Ya most likely. Just didn't want to have to dick around with everything and then have them update it and fix it had I waited haha

grave marsh
#

Hmm.. strange. I moved my HA VM to the same IP Subnet/VLAN that my cameras are on but I'm still getting IOTC ER TIMEOUT

What type of network interface does the VM use? You need to avoid virtual translation and use a host network interface or a bridge interface on the same LAN.

grave marsh
#

ya its a bridged interface on the same LAN

#

Can you check logs to confirm the server addresses used? Search for "Running on " to see those lines

#

Also, confirm camera addresses with log lines "Connecting to "

grave marsh
#

When it first starts up it says running on all addresses. I had it set to LAN, tried it on any and then back to LAN again and it still says all addresses, not sure if thats normal.. But the Connecting to is the correct IPs for the cams

I'm also using the HA Docker-Wyze-Bridge Add on

grave marsh
#

I tried setting up a separate docker instance on kali instead of a VM, on the same network, and still not having any luck

weak sentinel
#

Wow, that's a real PITA. I don't know of a way to address for the HA addon so far. The docker instance on kali is running in host mode for sure?

grave marsh
#

Thats a great question actually, how do I check that?

weak sentinel
#

You can find the container ID and then check docker inspect output like so:

$ docker inspect <container-id> | grep -A5 Networks
            "Networks": {
                "host": {
                    "IPAMConfig": null,
                    "Links": null,
                    "Aliases": null,
                    "MacAddress": "",

That host key tells the story. If you see something else it's a different mode.

grave marsh
#

oh shit. i think I got it!

#

Thanks @weak sentinel

weak sentinel
#

Woot

weak sentinel
#

@grave marsh are you still stable?

grave marsh

Actually seems to be working better than it ever has

#

I'm getting that error now. I'm on HAOS.

#

Can I ask what settings you have? Does 2FA have to be on?
