Highest resolution photos on Wyze v3 Cam

[aChrisYouKnow]

My goal is to take the highest resolution photos I can every 20 minutes. I have tried the following two methods.

Using the following environment values in the docker compose file which results in 115-125KB 1920 × 1080 photos.

        - SNAPSHOT=RTSP1200
        - SNAPSHOT_FORMAT=mycam/%Y-%m-%d/%H-%M.jpg
        - IMG_DIR=/img
        - IMG_TYPE=jpg
        - NET_MODE=LAN

Also this method via crontab, saving the photos to the SD card, which results in 10-15KB 640 × 360 photos.

*/20 * * * * curl -X GET http://localhost:5000/api/mycam/take_photo

I’m a little surprised the highest resolution snapshot option isn’t saving directly to the SD card on the camera. I wanted to see if I was missing anything, and make sure I had the best settings to maximize resolution of scheduled snapshots. The camera is set to HD in the WYZE app, it seems any other settings I find in the docker-wyze-bridge would reduce resolution, and the default should be the highest resolution, but I wanted to confirm that if someone didn't mind chiming in.

Thanks for the help!

hmm, not sure why the take_photo command is using the lower resolution stream.

Could you try the dev branch to see if adding a payload helped?

I deployed wyze-bridge via docker compose. Not sure I know how to containerize the dev branch. Upon further inspection, I should be all set with SNAPSHOT=RTSP1200, it seems thats probably the full resolution images coming through. I was just curious about the expected resolution difference between SNAPSHOT and take_photo. If that helped identify any unexpected behavior, fantastic. Happy to help troubleshoot further if it helps, but, otherwise I should be all set. Appreciate it!
