I couldn’t get it working either, I’ve a similar background to you, been in IT 40 years in various roles.

Alexa integration, won’t work for me either, I do have the cameras in scrypted

It’s not really intuitive to my old brain!!

In my opinion is Monoclecam dead, because Roberts last Login was 23.October 2024 ! What a pitty

Yes what a shame - a good run though. Seems we all need to find a replacement. Thanks to all involved in Monocle over the years.

I guess this is the end of my run with MonocleCam. It was pretty good while it lasted and I appreciate the development work up to this point.

Thanks again for sharing your experience with scrypted!

I have 2 Echo Show 8 1st generation. On these, the playback of the cameras (different types) works without any action. But there are also days when nothing works. And then it’s fine again a day later.

I also have an Echo Show 15, on which the camera playback has not worked for weeks.

It doesn’t seem to be the same problem as in October 2023 (expired certificate). Otherwise it wouldn’t work on any device and it wouldn’t work all the time. Is Amazon involved with “new features” again?

It would be great if there will be a solution to the problem. I would also be prepared to pay a monthly/annual fee for a better service, e.g. like for “MyMedia”.

Your support is needed

I’m experiencing the same problems as everyone else. “cameras not responding”. Only temporary fix is to factory reset the echos, but hours or days later it happens again. After not seeing any response from @Monocle, I tested Scrypted. It works and doesn’t appear to have the 4 second lag that Monocle had. The only issues I have with Scrypted is that the camera only runs for a few hours before the echo goes back to the home screen. Have you, or anyone else, ran into this and know of a work around?

I’m using Unifi cameras with Echo as a baby monitor. Worked great with Monocle until recently. I’d like to use Scrypted, but the feed shuts down after a few hours for whatever reason and I haven’t been able to figure out why.

I probably shouldn’t have even brought it up here since it is sort of a competing product.

I gave up. Not to disparage our host but this isn’t the first round of “working / not working.”

I ended up setting up Scrypted in a docker container on a Proxmox VM and it was VERY straightforward and worked within minutes. I’m sure there are downsides there but the WAF (wife acceptance factor) of “just make it work” won out over loyalty.

Can you show some more light on how you set this up? do you still need to use monocle?
