[Feature Request]: HomeKit Secure Video
Enhancement of issue
Homebridge support with Version 1.4.0 HomeKit Secure Video. Actually scrypted with nest plugin is already supporting HomeKit Secure Video. So I think most users would love this!!! And the best, it is much faster than the original app, with a lot of interruptions (even on symmetrical 1G fiber Internet connection with full wlan connection)… Thanks a lot!
Solution
Implement the nest cam plugin into the homebridge HomeKit Secure Video functionality.

Would very much love to get this working. Hoping it can come to be able to use the Google Nest Battery Doorbell with HSV
I second, or third, this request, after seeing how well HKSV works with standard RTSP streams it would be amazing to be able to do the same from the Nest Hello camera. Thanks!
I am hopeful that HKSV can be incorporated. This would allow me to keep the hardware I have instead of getting a different camera that does RTSP.
I developed by own HomeKit accessory for my Nest devices (using HAP-NodeJS). Mainly as I like the challenge, don't use Homebridge and my Nest devices haven't been migrated to Google accounts. My Nest camera streaming was basically using the code that Brandon developed here.
I've started some initial code testing to see how HKSV would work with my Nest Hello and Nest Outdoor cam.. Attached is screenshot so far (mined the bluring in image.. :-). Still some ways togo and working through some issues found with HAP-NodeJS and HKSV
Ultimately not sure about it, mainly due to bandwidth requirements ie: Cam is uploading to Nest, while HomeKit is pulling down a stream, which in turn is being upload to iCloud..

Exactly. The network issues present a real challenge for HSV. That's why I haven't published anything yet with HSV support because I know the bugs will come flooding in 😀
Yes, definitely see issues with network and time it takes to get started on streams
Been tinkering alot more and have refined how this works. Yes, made it pre-buffer the video stream from a camera, so its basically; constantly recording from Nest. Bit more playing todo and happy to release the update to my repository for people to see
Feel free to submit a PR here! I may release it under a beta tag for people to try for a while.
I would be interested in trying this out. Please let me know if it is released as a beta.
That's great news you were able to make some progress on this! It is amazing how much better my other cameras that support HSV work. Be interested in testing this out as well.
As stated, I don't use HomeBridge or this plugin directly. I've uploaded my current development work on this to my repository. If someone wants to start converting Into typescript and make a branch for this plugin, go for it :-)

With help from @krehman , we've refined the working code and also made a docker version if people want to try it out. @Brandawg93 do you have an email contact we can chat off-line if you'd be interested in a beta channel on here (back porting my code into this) and some other refinements
Anyone else, like to test, move to ist own repository https://github.com/n0rt0nthec4t/Nest_accfactory
Hi! Any updates on this? What's the easiest way to install it on Homebridge, does it still work?
