Hi all, I'm looking for the best budget config to run my full setup. ​ I have some items already, but my final setup would be: \- 5 cameras (Intelbras - RTSP supported by *homebridge-camera-ui*) \- 10 plugs (Tuya - Supported by *0x5e/homebridge-tuya-platform*) \- 8 Led strips (from Magic Home \[or Tuya\] - Supported by *homebridge-magichome-dynamic-platform*) \- 5 lights (Tuya - Supported by *0x5e/homebridge-tuya-platform*) \- 10 light switchers (probably Tuya - Supported by *0x5e/homebridge-tuya-platform*) ​ Today I'm running the server on my Macbook Pro, but I want to …

… homebridge, and use a Unifi UDM pro as router, and was struggling because I wanted all cameras to have HKSV and wanted more cameras. So I tried a cheap Tapo C100 indoor 1080p camera ($40 from Amazon in australia) and the camera.ui plug-in. Loaded the camera into the tapo app and updated its firmware. Setup a “camera account” so the RTSP streams (the camera has 2) were available. My homebridge runs on a PI4 connected via Ethernet. I use child bridges to seperate my plugins. Added the camera through the camera.ui interface. Added the bridge to HomeKit and it all just worked. Now have HKSV on …

HomeBridge was recently updated to enable support for HKSV. Plugins have to be updated individually and one of them is camera.ui which allows you to feed any RTSP stream into HomeKit. Since the plugin was updated to also support HKSV, it now means any RTSP-capable camera can now in theory be a HKSV camera. Tested the theory with a £19 TP-Link Tapo C60. 😊

I'm new to Homebridge, so my apologies if these are stupid questions. I set up Homebridge Camera UI (it was the only one I could get to even give me previews of my cameras \[Foscam and Amcrest\], though live video isn't working for some reason). I configured two cameras outside with all of the sensors and switches. If I manually press the Doorbell in the Home app, the notification pops up and the doorbell rings on our Homepods. But there never seems to be any motion detected. As a test, I stood in front of one of the cameras waving for 10 seconds. If I manually press the "Motion Trigger" …

Hello, Having a similar issue. Somewhat new to Homebridge and camera.ui. Recently got a new Lorex system and have all cameras showing up fine in Home, and 3/4 of them work fine in terms of HKSV. However, one of them only recorded motion once and no longer saves any clips for me to view. I have attempted to toggle various settings on and off including stream/recording, but nothing seems to stick. I have also been unable to get audio to work on any of the cameras. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Edit: audio seems to be working for now, same issue with video.

Recently have done the same, most IP cameras including the reolink will need to have an option changed on them to use H264 instead of H265. That’s a fairly simple thing but the next thing is you’ll need a device such as a raspberry pie to run Homebridge or Scrypted in order to get your cameras onto HomeKit. As someone who used Homebridge before for the cameras, I recently made a move to Scrypted and it’s a night and day difference. I did migrate from a raspberry pi to a mac mini as my old pi 3b couldn’t handle rubbing both Homebridge and Scrypted so make sure you get a decent pi or use an old …

… does other stuff too, but not a lot. Mostly just a network raid volume. I have a Ubiquity Unify Dream Machine Pro with an unmanaged POE switch powering a Reolink 510A 5MP camera. I am running the CameraUI plug-in for HomeKit Secure Video. For this purpose everything technically runs fine. It captures sound, records video, sends motion alerts to my Apple TV 4K and various other devices like my MacBook. No errors or failures. For reference I have also tried using the FFMPEG Camera plugin as well, with the same results. The Reolink camera is set with its “lowest” settings in its main stream, …

Did you get to solve your tc40 camera problem with home bridge ? did it work with scrypted ? I recently bought one and could not get it to work with homebridge camera ffmpeg nor with scrypted. Updated everything to the most recent versions and still no luck. But I suspect the problem may be a firmware problem as I tried to access the tsp stream with vlc and got error 400 but also I installed the IPCams from the App Store on my Mac, it auto discovered the camera, authenticated successfully, retrieved the configurations for the camera, but while opening the stream also got error 400. Any …

For information, here is my conf with an intermediate RTSP Server : In the dockerfile, I defined 3 containers. The first, "rtsp", is the rtsp server. The image I found works on RPi ARM and x86 machines. The second, "ffmpeg-usbcam", is based on the homebridge image to keep the same ffmpeg binary. The start command is replaced by a ffmpeg command that read the v4l2 Camera and audio streams, and send them to the RTSP Server. The third, "homebridge", is the standard homebridge server. [code] Then the config.json file of homebridge is like this : [code] All seems to work with this configuration, …

… After a debacle with family access (took a while to figure that one out, I think I got it now) the only issues I am having after upgrading the home is the camera.ui plugin on Homebridge. I’ve always had some errors pop into the log using this plugin, but now 90% of the time all my camera.ui cameras show “Camera Offline”… and then randomly they’ll work without issue.

Hi SeydX Hey @martindavid-net! First of all, pls dont use both `homebridge-camera-ffmpeg` AND `homebridge-camera-ui` * If you only want to see the cameras in Apple Homekit, choose `homebridge-camera-ffmpeg` * If you want to see the cameras in Apple HomeKit AND want a User interface where you can control your cameras, record videos on movement etc etc, choose `homebridge-camera-ui` Second, if you had the cameras on HomeKit before (with homebridge-camera-ffmpeg or anything else), please remove them from HomeKit AND change the name of the cameras in your config.json. Otherwise homebridge will …

It is the same problem here: 1x foscam (works) 3x Hikvision (does not work). Restarting Hub (HomePod) does not help, switching recording setting does not work, removing and re-adding cameras (does not work) - I do not know what to try next. Setup is for all cameras the same I take the rtsp stream from my Synology DS918+. Switching to the native (Hikvision) camera stream does not help either. I am having the same exact problem. 4x Hikvision. It started to work, then after 2 days no more HKSV recordings.

I had the same problem with Reolink cams. I believe the developer of camera ui interface has had some bug issues and apparently hasn’t had the time to work through them. I moved on to using Scrypted on a Mac mini M1, and it is fantastic! Load times are incredibly fast. No problems integrating into HomeKit and recording with iCloud account.
