After looking through the OctoPrint forum I saw that some people had used a special firmware on Wyze cameras to just make them into webcameras and connect directly to the Raspberry. The Wyze camera<\/a> and the XiaoFang are the same camera, but wonder if it would just work to use that firmware? Found an article indicating it should work<\/a> so gave it a try. Went to the firmware page and followed the instructions<\/a>. Built a USB A to USB A cable<\/a> and connected the camera to my PC. Wow, it is a webcam! Connected it the the Raspberry and entered the default settings for camera. Voila!<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
