Partly worksTime out after 5 minutes; better cameras stay live
Saved copy
One thing I have noticed now after a few weeks of using ffmpeg with my blue iris server is only my Insteon (Foscam) cameras are timing out after 5 minutes. My slightly nicer Qcam's stay live the whole time. So I think it is more on the quality of camera. Eventually I'll upgrade all of mine to something nice just trying to make the free cams I got from work last as long as possible first.

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.
