HomeKit Secure Video
Dear AlexxIT, thank you a lot for this wonderful project! This is really a dream come true to enable interoperability to all those different cameras, and it's all free.
When it comes to my use case, I have a bunch of old YI dome cameras, and just recently bought a TPLink Tapo. While great on paper, Tapo is so slow if I want to add it to HomeKit, as well as to any NVR (Synology DSM, Frigate). In future, I'd like to also purchase some outdoor cameras, and my hope is that I can integrate all of them into a unified setup:
- PTZ (only via ONVIF, and only if that profile is supported)
- Frigate via RTSP for object detection, primary NVR, integration with Home Assistant - this is possible now
- HomeKit Secure Video - this is not possible without something like Homebridge, which will again do its own re-encoding via ffmpeg.
- Unifi Protect via ONVIF with PTZ - I saw #1036, and understand that most likely this won't be available in go2rtc. I also understand that Unifi right now doesn't support PTZ on third party cameras.
- Disable the internet access for all the cameras, and rely on those services above
Are there any plans to add support for HomeKit Secure Video natively?
I'm not a fan of the Apple ecosystem. I don't even have a device that can act as an Apple smart home hub. So the task is far from a priority.
@maxromanovsky you can use Scrypted to send videos to HKSV and have them reference a go2rtc stream. For motion events to trigger recording you'll need to add a Custom Motion Sensor using MQTT events in Scrypted.
