Camera FFmpeg Verifiedhomebridge-camera-ffmpeg | Works | Works over RTSP with ffmpeg pluginSaved copyI use Hikvision. Huge company. Tons of cameras. With ffmpeg plugin on course. You have to make sure that the cameras you look at allow RTSP support as mentioned. Excerpt saved from Arctic Shift Reddit archive on 2026-10-22. | Local | Reddit comment · 2019-10 |
Camera FFmpeg Verifiedhomebridge-camera-ffmpeg | Not working | RTSP works in VLC but Home app shows only a snapshot, no videoSaved copyBy stuck image I meant it is a snapshot of the video feed. I went to the Homebridge's shell and it doesn't know `nc`; however I can ping the camera. There is a red error at the end, it seems the Home app is not able to pick the video feed: \[5/15/2023, 11:19:03 PM\] \[Camera FFmpeg\] \[Hikvision - entrance\] \[info\] frame= 833 fps= 31 q=21.0 size= 1024kB time=00:00:28.03 bitrate= 299.4kbits/s dup=11 drop=0 speed=1.04x \[5/15/2023, 11:19:04 PM\] \[Camera FFmpeg\] \[Hikvision - entrance\] \[rtsp @ 0x55be48d55880\] \[warning\] max delay reached. need to consume packet \[5/15/2023, 11:19:04 PM\] … Excerpt saved from Arctic Shift Reddit archive on 2026-10-22. | Local | Reddit thread · 2023-05 |

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.
