Dude, thank you for this video! I never would have come across this normally, but this is incredibly handy. I have a mix of cameras on different services and had no idea I could consolidate them all into HomeKit like this. Super solid info and channel, subbed!

@MrAlucardDante Жыл бұрын

That’s neat. For folks only running homeassistant, another great alternative is frigate. It’s designed to run as a container and to be integrated with home assistant, it can add any camera that has an RTSP stream. And it got updated recently to support TensorFlow on nVidia GPUs for super fast and local object detection.

@seethruhead7119 Жыл бұрын

wouldn't you want to use frigate AND scrypted? Assuming your goal was to add any camera to alexa/homekit/etc?

@-someone-. Жыл бұрын

Hey, what if only use motioneye with 5 raspberry pi’s & cams? I’ve found that due to the different cameras I use and different raspbian versions (buster, bullseye), I can’t use the integrated function within motioneye to see all cams on one page, it can’t find other devices, so I thought this scrypted might be an alternative…(I’ll have to setup home assistant now though, which I’ve never done.) Hope you can give any suggestions 👍

@MrAlucardDante Жыл бұрын

@@seethruhead7119 I guess there is nothing preventing that. You could use frigate for object detection and use frigatés restream fuctionality to feed the video into scrypted

@transatlant1c Жыл бұрын

@@seethruhead7119 definitely. Setup frigate and record for a longer time there, then restream to Google home, as the retention there is very limited anyway. Plus then if you wanted to automate on events, it’d be much quicker than going over the public net to the Google home api

I'd like to use this with Shinobi. I moved from MotionEye to Shinobi because I found out that it is more flexible, faster, and records every moment without a miss in recordings which motioneye was doing it all the time on the same hardware... Any way to combine Scrypted with Shinobi? Thanks!

@DanZimmerli Жыл бұрын

The thing about Apple Home and "Stream Only" vs. recording is the recordings are actually stored in iCloud, not your Scrypted instance (unless you get the NVR plugin for Scrypted, which is actually something separate). Great video!

Can’t wait to try Scrypted. I had 2 ring doorbells hooked up to HomeKit through HOOBs and it worked well for a long time until it started to repeatedly send alerts when someone rang the doorbell. It was like one alert every two seconds for a few minutes. I disconnected HOOBs and added then through home assistant - now I don’t get any notifications and if I ever do, the video snapshot is from a past event. So… can’t wait to try Scrypted. Thanks!

I ended up changing to a Reolink video doorbell (which is already supported in HA) but still use Scrypted via a Proxmox container for my Arlo wireless cameras and outside of the occasional need to restart the plugin it’s been great.

@@l0gic23 Not sure if it's Scrypted or due to Arlo requiring some sort of re-auth but I tend to need to request a new 2FA code every couple of weeks. Otherwise it pulls in all the features you see in the app and has been pretty reliable for the last few months that I've had arlo cams in there.

Thanks for the video Tim. I have been running Scypted to connect a Wyze camera via RTSP to HomeKit for over a month on an old r.pi 3. The device always had some stability issues, so I did reload of the OS on the device. That didn't help with the low power issue, so I decided to try a VirtualBox install. I have two working, one with Ubuntu 22 and one with Debian 12. I wanted run this by you. When setting up the camera now in Homekit, the advanced features of recording, recognizing objects, etc. are not available on all 3 solutions - updated r.pi, Ubuntu, and Debian. In Homekit, the message for the added camera says "This accessory has not been certified to work with Homekit so some features may not be available." Do you think Apple has done a recent update to block adding cameras through a method like this? Have to you gotten this message before?

Unifi protect is setup in my home assistant. So all my cams work and act as sensors. I can get package/person/vehicle/smoke detection and fire alerts via home assistant. I cant even set camera peramiters via HA. It works amazing. And my unifi network integrates perfect too!! HA is amazing. I use my g4 pro door bell to sent notification to all my devices with a pic IN the drop down notification when a person is detected in a certain zone and my door is locked. This way i dont get false alarms constant when unloading groceries. And my front door locks automatically after 2 minutes being shut.

It seems the motion sensor for it just doesn't work. It used to once upon a time, but stopped working and has never started working again since. I do pay for Nest Aware so get the recordings there anyway, but I would have loved to just be able to go to one app to see all my recordings for my cameras.
