| Nest camera plugin | Works | Works with Homebridge and native appSaved copyThere are many camera's that are supported by Homebridge Plugins that also work with their native app. I have Nest camera and they work. Also I have some Wyze camera's that can be setup with the Real Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP) and their is a homebridge plugin for that. In-Fact any RTSP camera can be used. Using homebridge does not disable your use of the native app so there are solutions that will work for you. Remember, most Homekit enabled cameras also have a native app for android as well as IOS.

| homebridge-nest-cam | Works | Doorbell ring notification with screenshot appears on Apple TVSaved copySo, I am using the nest-cam plug in. When I ring my door bell, a notification does appear on my apple TV with a screen shot. It's not super fast, but works without any additional work.

| HOOBS Nest plugin | Partly works | Works only in HOOBS due to auth; not in Homebridge; Starling suggestedSaved copyLate to the game, but my Nest Cam is working fine on Homebridge via the plug-in. I’m running homebridge-nest-cam v7.5.4. Unless maybe something’s not working that I haven’t noticed. What kind of issues are you running into so I know what to look for?

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.
