Camera FFmpeg Verifiedhomebridge-camera-ffmpeg | Works | Run via Camera FFmpeg with SD card recording and snapshots saved locallySaved copyI run foscam (others will work) cameras with camera FFmpeg plugin via Homebridge. Use SDCard in camera for 24/7 recording (~6 day history). You have option on a NVR or FTP for video for longer history. Snapshots uploaded to cloud service (google, Dropbox, OneDrive, etc) or save to local drive based on trigger( motion sensor, etc). Personally, I think this setup is better than HKSV. No monthly fees.

Camera FFmpeg Verifiedhomebridge-camera-ffmpeg | Partly works | Live view works; motion needs automation and preview unreliableSaved copyI have Foscam cameras and they work fine (live) with Homebridge. Post your config file. You have to set an automation for the motion trigger to show a preview. Please note that the preview doesn’t always work. I ended up disabling it and setup a Pushcut webhook to open my camera app if I wanted. Excerpt saved from Arctic Shift Reddit archive on 2026-10-22. | Local | Reddit comment · 2021-12 |
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.
