  ATTENTION As of July 2019, Wansview cameras are no longer working on FireTVs with FireOS 6.2.6.4. This includes FireTV 4K (Gen2), FireTV 4K Stick, FireTV Cube, Toshiba 4K Fire Edition. Wansview cameras are also confirmed not working on Echo Show 5 devices. At the time of this writing, Wansview cameras are working on older FireTV 4Ks running FireOS 5.2.7 and Echo Show (Gen1), Echo Show (Gen2) and Echo Spot. There is not currently a workaround available. We will be working with Amazon support to try and get these cameras working again.

  I decided to setup named for my home network DNS. This stopped working after setting it up. I did see the troubleshooting tip about the DNS rebinding and took the FQDN in the logs and created a CNAME pointing to the gateway. What else am I missing? As far as the log goes, it starts up fine, but I never see any traffic to it. I’ve confirmed I can ping the cname and do a nslookup. Both work correctly. What else could I be missing?

  Echo Show 5 [2019] The Monocle skill can be used to display local IP camera feeds to your Echo Show 5. The Echo Show 5 is supported however, only when running the Monocle Gateway service locally on your network.** Please see the compatibility requirements/notes below. Buy Echo Show 5 on Amazon Compatibility Notes/Requirements PREREQUISITE The Monocle Gateway service is required because the latest Amazon Alexa enabled device implement further restrictions and only permit RTSP connections from these devices to camera endpoints over encrypted (TLS) transport layer and only permitted to connect on port 443 using fully qualified domain names with valid a SSL certificate. These rigid requirements make it near impossible for most IP cameras to work directly with Alexa devices and thus the Monocle Gateway service acts as a bridge by fulfilling these requirements and enabling communications with your local IP cameras. RESOLUTION COMPATIBILITY This model seems to have a bug/defect/limitation that prevents camera streams above 1080P from displaying the video on screen. Please use a camera feed with a resolution at or below 1920x1080. CAMERA COMPATIBILITY Some IP cameras that are confirmed working with existing/prior Alexa devices are NOT working with the new Echo Show 5. This includes Wansview cameras.

  Esteemed,    Sorry if this is the wrong place. But I need help! I got a alexa echo show 5. I would love to use MONOcle. However, the skill is not enabled for my language. How do I make this request? To use I need to install the Monocle server on my pc? But first I need to have the skill available for my country. Can anyone help with the way?
