Camera FFmpeg Verifiedhomebridge-camera-ffmpeg | Partly works | Apple TV and iPad need 1920x1080 at 802 kbps; copy codec fails thereSaved copyHello Everyone, First, thanks for this plugin ! I have camera from HIK Vision and it works great. In my home, I have 2 AppleTV and iPhone. To avoid encoding issue, I used the option vcodec: copy The image was very good. Then, when I tried on my AppleTV, it was not working... After searching on internet, I found that the apple tv is more picky with the homekits standards. The Apple TV needs 802 kbps with 1920x1080. If it's not these values, it doesn't work... So, in order to get it work with AppleTV, I need to set the setting value empty to let the plugin encode the video with the right value. … Excerpt saved from GitHub on 2026-10-22. | Local | Issue #1106 · 2021-04 |

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.
