Do you mean that Wyze has a self-hosted NVR option? If so, that'd be awesome for me...
I was referring to those who use Wyze's default cloud storage.
SOME Wyze models are compatible with 3rd party software/firmware to switch to a selfhosting model, but again, it depends on the model and firmware version.

Yes, all my V2s and even a v3 was able to run Frigate on Home Assistant.
Hey Im just setting up Frigate, are you using a Coral board? The claims about perfomance seem nuts and I just want to know how easy it is to integrate or how necessary it is, my HA setup is a little more obscure so if I could get away without needing one that would be great
I have a coral Pcie card that replaced my wifi card on my tiny PC. I purchased an old HP i3 tiny computer off eBay for like 50 bucks.
Previously, I ran my HA and frigate on a pie4. After about 2x 1080 streams, it starts to bog down.
I wouldn't recommend buying anything without a proper processor as you want something to be able to process those streams.
Think I'll be going with the Pcie card then, I have an older Xeon 1U server, running proxmox and HA as a VM so im pretty certain I'll have to install frigate as standalone in docker alongside proxmox, which feels weird but eh. Thanks for your response! Its been real fun delving into HA and homelab stuff
I too have a proxmox server(running PFsense, Mint, tailscale, and NVR backup) and I did run docker with HA, but I found that the coral was iffy when it was passing through the proxmox to docker to HA. There were so many times my coral would stop working and I would have to restart docker to get it working. It became so frequent that I had a script to reset my docker at a certain time of day. I eventually went with a HP tiny PC setup and ran hasOS on baremetal. Haven't had a problem since.
Do you know if the smart doorbell is the same? Received one from the in-laws for Christmas but haven't done anything yet.
I left wyzes platform before the doorbell was introduced. I switched to 4k streams and they didn't offer 4k at the time.
I remembered there was an integration for Wyze when I used them so I imagine it is still possible.
Oh damn, guess I know what I'm doing this week...
Have fun man. The home assistant community is strong! Message me if you need help.
