Camera FFmpeg Verifiedhomebridge-camera-ffmpeg | Partly works | Slowness attributed to Amcrest camerasSaved copyThanks. I’m also experiencing slowness with my cameras but attributed it to general crappyness of Amcrest. Replacing with reolink at Xmas so we’ll see what happens. Won’t need them on home app since their app. Uh. Works. lol 😂 Excerpt saved from Arctic Shift Reddit archive on 2026-10-22. | Local | Reddit comment · 2020-11 |
Each row is one report from a plugin’s GitHub issues, pull requests, discussions, wiki or docs, or from r/homebridge. Check the date and the linked thread before you buy.
In ReReHome
Once a Homebridge plugin publishes it, this device reaches Apple Home as a HomeKit accessory behind your Homebridge bridge, so ReReHome shows and controls it like any other.
