@kennesaw10 you are likely seeing same issues affecting other users (see #1438 #1432 #1429). Cause isn't fully clear but users can mitigate with switching to docker Note, it's not directly related to FW updates best we can tell. Many users are having outages with no FW updates involved. |

I'm running Docker desktop on a Windows-11 PC. Docker 4.38.0. I updated Docker from an older version when the issue showed up this morning but no change. I also had this problem with Wyze-bridge 1.9 and updated the image to v2.10.3 and that did not help. The only thing that changed today was cameras upgrading their firmware. I use the bridge to front-end the Wyzecams to my Blue Iris system. The RTSP converted Wyzecams work OK. The Blue Iris host and Docker are on the same Windows machine. All hosts and the cameras are on the same network. |

Methinks Wyze got tired of their bandwidth getting gobbled up and have changed something. |

I think the bigger issue is that they want to force users to subscribe. These free 3rd party options are becoming more well known. Let's say there are 1000 of us bridge users, at a low end $25 profit on a basic subscription, that's $25,000 the CEO could use to pay their yacht mooring fees. Then there are those like scrypted looking to commercialize their nvr software. It's one thing to provide free opensource software for a minor portion of users, it's another to offer a fee based option on the backs of the free developers. Meanwhile those who can use host mode do seem able to get some streams so really not sure what wyze is trying to do. But I doubt it's got to do with device fw since older versions are failing as well. |

I'm already a WyzeCam Unlimited subscriber so I don't think that is an issue. The only thing that changed for me overnight was that some cameras got firmware updates. Since the issue appears to be happening with different firmware versions, I believe this is something sneaky Wyze has done on their end. |

I noticed that my v3 camera on 4.36.10.7146 works but my other v3 on 4.36.13.0416 quit working. I got a v4 camera and it began working out of the box but when I let the wyze app update it's firmware, it quit working at 4.52.9.1134. I was able to see all three cameras after changing the network mode. |

I was running a docker container on a synology DS723+ until everything went south. I have a variety of cameras V2, V3, V4, doorbell V1, and a Pan V1 and V2. Would you mind sharing what you compose looks like. I'm not as well versed in this, but I can copy w/ the best of them. |

This morning, my Wyzecams v3 and v4 did automatic firmware upgrades and they no longer work with wyze-bridge. Here are current firmwares they display:
V3 - 4.36.14.2589
V4 - 4.52.9.1134
Cameras are accessible in the Wyze app but no longer work with the bridge. HELP!
