Does anyone know of a good Android viewer for RTSP? I'm probably going to proxy it with an HTTP webserver over TLS (if I can do that with RTSP? EDIT: Apparently I can't, I'll have to find a way to add authentication) to add basic auth, so the viewer will need to support that.

I use TinyCam on an Amazon Fire tablet to view my RTSP stream but only locally. Over the Internet I view the stream from MotionEye on my RPi using their authentication. In that case I can view it in the browser, no app needed.

Thank you, I didn't know of those apps, I'll try them now.

VLC is great-- it's what I use for viewing RTSP on my LAN.

VLC does the job but what you really want to do is run ffmpeg against it and generate HLS

They look the same as the camera being sold from https://openip.cam/ , but the price there is even cheaper: $12.99.

They're selling SD cards, not cameras

Do you lose the push notifications when you use the custom firmware?

Yes you lose complete access to the Wyze app. There is another recommended app you can use to replace it called Mi Home but the point of this for me was to replace any cloud stuff.
That being said if you have a video server like MotionEye or maybe Smarthome has it (that was mentioned before), you can likely do some alerting based off that. I know MotionEye has email alerts and might have some other alerting that I don't use.
Got the rtsp stream connected up to smartthings and blue iris and have had zero trouble with them.
They're only $20 if you order from wyze.com
