I’ve just installed Kerberos on my Xpenology server using docker.

The install process was quite simple, and actually didn’t require any command line from me (not my strong point!), so that’s a bonus.

Just a note for anyone looking to install this, you need one instance running per camera (I now have three, looking to expand to five), which time will tell if it causes a problem resource hogging!

Once installed and cameras setup, it spits out an mpeg stream useable in ActionTiles! Hurrah 😀

A suggestion on this thread recommended [Kerberos.io](http://Kerberos.io) and I was able to get this setup pretty quickly using docker on my Synology DS920+. After [updating the firmware](https://support.wyze.com/hc/en-us/articles/360026245231-Wyze-Cam-RTSP) on my Wyze cams to the RTSP firmware I enabled RTSP on each camera I used the below docker-compose file to run an instance of the Kerberos agent for each of my Wyze v2 cameras and a Wyze PTZ camera. Once these docker containers were running I browsed to the web port (ie. [http://dockerhost:81](http://dockerhost:81)) for each camera and setup the corresponding IP camera using the rtsp:// URL provided after enabling RTSP on the Wyze cam. Finally, in ActionTiles I added a media tile for each camera as a “This Media is an MJPEG video stream” with the corresponding camera’s streaming URL (ie. [http://localhost:8891](http://localhost:8891)). [Kerberos.io](http://Kerberos.io) is a great alternative to using an Android device to run TinyCamPro

I have developed a solution that I am now using after getting very frustrated with TinyCam Pro and ActionTiles.

[https://bitbucket.org/technohead/rtspserver  
 ](https://bitbucket.org/technohead/rtspserver/src/master/)

This was developed and tested on a Raspberry Pi 3B and 400, written in Python and uses FFMpeg to capture a camera’s RTSP feed and convert that to MJPEG and then streams that to the client.
