How to Configure Apple Home Security Cameras with HOOBS

[@alc7328]

Finally someone talking about the frame smearing in FFMPEG & HomeBridge!! I could not get this info before. Thank you so much!

[@tech_craft]

Such a frustrating issue but thankfully it’s solvable with some config tweaks.

[@ShaneCreates]

Great video and an excellent use of hoobs! I may give this a shot with some of my non-homekit cameras. Thanks for sharing!

[@resgroupmsr]

Do you have updated instructions anywhere for newest HOOBS as the plug in config screen is now very different

[@davidbastin6235]

Mark Russell The camera plugin has more data needed and the plugin won’t save any data?

[@VitoAD]

Great video, thank you. I have Unifi Video with a G3 and G3 Flex. I turned on RTSP and was able to get the streaming URL but where do you get the snapshot URL? Both of my camera's are managed on the UniFi NVR.

[@EdwinJS]

Snapshot url should be [camera-ip-address]/snap.jpeg Make sure to allow anonymous snapshots by navigating to the UniFi Camera IP directly logging in and ticking the option to allow!

[@adrianopery]

Great video and thanks for your time helping us with HOOBS configuration. Finally my Onvif Cameras is working fine.

[@tech_craft]

That’s great!

[@matthieucatteau2538]

And I also wanted to know if the fact that the Camera FFMPEG plugin was now Hoobs certified changed anything. The interface is different and there are "Video Processor" and "Interface Name" sections added to the rest. I'd like to point out that I don't know anything about code and that I'm just starting at 40 years old. I'm having fun!!!

[@xdjrazorx]

It would be very cool to see how ou can integrate the HIKVISION doorbels in to homekit - inclusive the both site communication functionality :). it is possible?

[@mattstein9939]

Do you have to install FFmpeg on terminal in hoobs and install the camera ffmpeg plugin for this to work?

[@MiamiWebDesign]

Good video. Has anybody figured out a way to get recording the videos on icloud to work?

[@resgroupmsr]

This was INCREDIBLY helpful. Well done and thank you

[@mrmozzYT]

Any chance of a update to this to get it working with the Unifi Protect 4.4.3 via Hoobs? Total noob and can't figure this stuff out. I have three G4 cameras and a G4 doorbell I'd like to add to HomeKit.

[@gotelldonn]

Is the Reolink RLC-520 any different in setup considering it is h.265?

[@Exsome2010]

I have the exact same question please let me know Thank you

[@Zod_JB]

Quick Question! Since this isn’t an officially Apple sanctioned option for using Home Hub, is there any reason to think that Apple would have a reason to try and prevent HOOBS from integrating with Home Hub? I’d hate to fully invest in building my smart home around HOOBS, just for Apple to do what Apple does and real ease an update that breaks this option.

[@tech_craft]

I don't think there's too much to worry about. Apple has been pretty open about specifications needed to communicate with Homekit and now we have the Connected Home Over IP project I think we'll see even more standardisation making it even easier to add devices and link different smart home bridges.

[@marclombardi3094]

Great video! If I’m streaming from a dvr, how do I input in the code, different channels?

[@the_troponaut]

Good content. Consider ramping up the contrast or lighten up your foreground. Color grading has changed dramatically in the last several episodes.

[@ianmiles024]

I would love to get some advice off you after watching this video, not sure where to ask it, l'm looking for rtsp supported cameras but battery operated, I don't want to install extra power lines around the house! Any recommendations on where to go for them?

[@seanklein]

Definitely +1 for Ring. I got it connected and through 2 factor, but none of the cameras show up. Looking forward to the Ring specific video

[@MortyP]

Hey mate, Great video. Thanks. Didn't work for me, but I may be using the wrong plugin. My neighbor shares her Nest public web camera addresses (simple http//:) to help monitor the shared courtyard. I have two separate web addresses that I like to expose to the home kit. I can't find any plugins for that simple mode of operation. Any ideas? Thanks

[@bushidoblack7025]

so where does the recordings save? if i use synology surveillance will it all go straight to there unless i got a subscription or are there other options besides subscriptions

[@mrakovicsjozsef]

HI, Thanks for your great video. I´ve tried to connect my TP-Link Tapo C200 camera via Hoobs but it does not work with Homekit. I got the message "camera does not answer". I´m able to stream my camera via VLC and I have prepared the config step by step as you showed in your video. Do you have some recommendations I should try?

[@MSDaytona]

Fantastic Video. Complement. Do you know per chance if it is possible to integrate a Eufy Wireless Doorbell Camera this way into HomeKit ?

[@kenanamet1665]

hello I'm new on hoobs I bought ubiquiti g3 flex camera today no cloud keygen2 no nvr how can i work with homekit please help I did it like in video, it didn't work...

Hey Rob, keep up the good work. How dj you setup 4cameras with same(NVR) IP address?

[@MrDabango]

Does this support tp link tapo c200 security camera. I think it supports rtsp

[@ackx.kristof]

if you have a Ubiquiti G4 doorbell can you this configure in HOOBS that also there is a pop up on your Apple TV when someone rings the bell & ring true a homepod mini?

How do I add multiple cameras?

[@IsmailQadry]

Great video!! Any chance there is support to view the Blink cameras from Amazon? Cheers!!

[@jaimegpppz3552]

good night thanks for the video I tell you that I am working to register the hoobs my camars and later the homekit I have a problem because they appear in the hoobs interface but they are not visible and I have several attempts and what I need is to add one that you provided us to paste it in the hoobs terminal but the terminal asks me for a login and password that is different from it start of the hoobs you know which is ? I have already reset the login and password of lanterminal and I cannot enter a new one and I cannot add anything I hope you can help me I'm one small step away from achieving it I'm new to this again thank you very much my best wishes James

[@dsellars]

Nice work, great video. Well explained too. I've just discovered HOOBS/Unifi so upgrading my whole network with Unifi and will add Hoobs as a docker container on my Synology NAS. question I have though is does this affect accessing the cameras in Unifi Video/Protect or does it just access the stream the encodes it in HOOBS?

[@destroyer123475]

My camera feeds require a username and password to view them. Even when I tested in VLC. How to I enter this into the config to allow them to connect?

[@tech_craft]

You can often add them to the URL after the double slashes but before the host name/IP address. Something like this: username:password@iporhost:restoftheurl

[@markkibble9209]

Hi, great video can this be updated for HOOBS 4.1.22? Same applies for Ring. Thanks!

[@tech_craft]

I’m doing a full reshoot of all my Hoobs videos to bring them up-to-date with Hoobs 4.

[@イエンスヨハンセン]

First -- love your work, I've subscribed. I'm watching this because I'm struggling to get my cheapo TP-Link cameras to work. I fail at the vlc step... I'm pretty sure Ive got the url right and I suspect ports and my network hub security. Ive fiddled with the Virgin Hub3.0 port forwarding to no avail so far. No idea where to go from here. Thoughts?

[@tech_craft]

Which TP-Link camera is it? I have a few different ones and some work better than others.

[@イエンスヨハンセン]

@@tech_craft I have a couple of TC110s and a couple of TC60s.

[@JoelWitthoeft]

Sorry if this has already been asked. But does this allow you to use the UNVR, and also HomeKit secure video at the same time with the same cameras?

[@tech_craft]

You can absolutely use the UNVR and Home at the same time. HKSV is a bit more complicated. I'm currently working through a new setup with Unifi Protect. Some issues so far, but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel and I'll record an update once I'm happy with the setup.

[@dominikpass9553]

Hello! really great! would you please give me some recommends how to add alerts for motion and maybe alerts for some noise (I mean to get notificatinos if there is some noise captured on camera). Thanks a lot for your videos!

[@davidmote6172]

Hi Rob, love your videos. I work in IT and sometimes love just being able to follow along to get something working since your videos are easy to follow. Do you know if you can change the still image refresh time? Thanks!

[@Jayme]

Hey Man great video... so I have some Unifi Cameras and I keep running into an error of " [UniFi Protect] ERROR: FFmpeg exited with code 127" I'm running HOOBs on a Raspberry Pi 4 and I have tried using just the "Homebridge Camera FFmpeg" plugin then tried the "Homebridge Unifi Protect2" and I keep running into the same error. all my cameras show up in the home app but fail to show any video. I did manually install FFmpeg as you did with no luck. I'm able to view all my camera feeds in VLC.not sure what else to try.

[@MrB8boy]

Love your videos. I have a great rpi hoobs setup thanks to you. Curious tho, anyway to run hoobs on an AWS cloud instance?

[@Valnurat]

Do you have any video for Edimax IC-6220DC or something like it, for HOOBS?

[@pieterjlansbergen6988]

Excellent video as usual, Rob. Thank you for that. I am already looking forward for your advice to get two of my cheap smartplugs to work within my Home.app overcoming the issues I am facing now. You are asking for questions and you will be getting them! ;-)

[@tech_craft]

Which smart plugs are you using?

[@pieterjlansbergen6988]

Tech Craft I got a brand new “tapo P100“ from Tp-link and another no-name which is tuya-compatible

[@tarunprakashsingh]

it doesnt show the recordings of motion etc. just live view correct...

[@marktatton84]

Hi Rob, great video! I bought a Tapo C100 and got both video and audio working perfectly. Just follow the TP Link guide for getting an RTSP URL (not on iSpy database). It uses h264, so i set vcodec to copy and it works really well. Initial challenge with every Apple device working except my iPhone, but testing the next day it seemed to work. The black power lead is an unfortunately ugly addition to the camera, but for less than £20 at current prices in the UK, I'm pleased.

[@alanwarmington6350]

Great Vid, all instructions worked for me. Let us know if you get a chance to play with Unifi Protect2 plugin, love to see a video on that

[@andymuzzo8568]

I’d love to be able to use my air conditioning controller (AirTouch 2) currently the AirTouch 3 & 4 are supported. And my TP Link Kasa cameras

[@tech_craft]

I just picked up a whole batch of TP Link stuff so video on that coming soon. I don't have an AirTouch but I'll see about getting hold of one.

[@johnnylee3814]

Is there an update on how to enable two way audio if the camera is capable?

Do you need to have Ffmpeg installed on the Pi for this to work? I’ve tried this with an Apeman IB81 Camera and no luck! 🤷🏻‍♂️

You do. This command will install the right version for you: `wget -q -O - bit.ly/get-ffmpeg | sudo bash -`

Absolutely. I have one on my desk ready to shoot.

any comments or support on how to set this up if the cameras are running through a digital video recorder. how to access individual camera streams from digital video recorder with multiple cameras. I can get one stream to come through on VLC with a rtsp:// address but only channel 1 and can't figure out how to access multiple channels.

Great video. Is there any way to have Apple Home record from a camera based on an automation being triggered?

[@tech_craft]

I haven’t looked into this much but it’s on my list to dive into. Not sure that Apple Home automations will do this, but there’s a few other options for automation on the Hoobs box itself.

[@st3ddyman]

Tech Craft It would be so great if I could record a minute of video if It detect a sensor had triggered.

[@CoreMacSolutions.]

Hey. Firstly, your videos are very informative and helpful. Also calm and reassuring. Some of us need it! Secondly, I've recently swapped from using camera-ffmpeg-omx plugin to camera-ffmpeg (on the suggestion from the guys at HOOBS). In the old plugin both of my flashed Yi Cameras worked fine (although live video was somewhat choppy). The still image refreshed roughly every 10-15 seconds. Under the new camera-ffmpeg plugin I have excellent video (using vcodec: copy) but the images do not refresh. Oddly, when I first got it up and running in the new plugin, one of the cameras worked as expected and refreshed the still image repeatedly. After rebooting the Pi in an attempt to refresh everything and get the other one working, the one that was working stopped! No changes made!! I saw the snapshot appear in the log (while one was working) but now absolutely nothing. The iSpy connect page doesn't list any snapshot URL config (and I didn't use a line under the previous plugin which worked fine). Any ideas or things I could try?

[@tech_craft]

There's nothing else at all showing in the logs regarding ffmpeg?

[@CoreMacSolutions.]

Tech Craft - I have solved this mystery. Having tried everything else i stumbled upon it when a call I was trying to make on my iPhone repeatedly failed. I rebooted it and later checked my Home app for something else. Noticed that both cameras are refreshing as expected every 13 seconds or so. Obviously some kind of weird ‘blockage’ in the system.

When I try to install ffmpeg, I get the message "This version of FFMPEG can not be installed on this device". What to do?

Hm have Hoobs 3.3.1, seems Installation of ffmpeg not required. But now the next Problem? Cam uses Port 80. No Problem so far for Android Devices not for Synology NAS but for Hoobs?

[@rrsttt7505]

My Wyze cams are the last thing I need to get into HomeBridge. Think I’m going to grab an Nvidia Shield to run TinyCam Pro, I think it does h264, so it can handle all of the processing and I won’t need the pi to do it. Also is there a way to pull from Unify Protect? I’ve got Unify cameras at a remote location, and haven’t figured out how to pull them in yet.

[@tech_craft]

There's a dedicated plugin for Unifi Protect: www.npmjs.com/package/homebridge-unifi-protect2 I have a Wyze camera here for testing and will film a guide shortly.

[@rrsttt7505]

Tech Craft looking forward to your Wyze setup. I’m working in my with TinyCam Pro instead of using their RTSP. They show up great in VLC, but they are choppy and pixelated in HomeKit. The rtsp_transport does not work, I think because it’s an http

[@Gleeleeglee]

Jon Dugan so even with the Nvidia it is still blurry and choppy when viewing with Homeapp? So its not the Nvidia nor is it my Pi 4 having any issue so what gives????

[@Gleeleeglee]

Tech Craft I cant wait any longer for the Wyze video since the quality of the video through Homeapp is blurry and when cars go by its fps seems too slow. So I preordered the Eufy 2k cam lol

[@mindbalance_cc]

Excellent video and I’m seriously going to be following along on this. Would be amazing if you could make some camera recommendations- as I personally find that daunting to sift through and work out of X or Y camera would work. Don’t mind tweaking stuff but still musing on if the really cheap TP Link cameras would work. Guessing so as I see they output H.264 / AAC. Thanks for all your work in recording this and others. Looking forward to seeing you grow the channel to 100k >🖖

[@tech_craft]

If they are H264/AAC they should almost certainly work. Do you have a link to them?

[@mindbalance_cc]

Tech Craft thanks for replying! www.tp-link.com/uk/home-networking/cloud-camera/ any of these really but I’m sure I saw the KC100 going for £20 in Sainsbury’s of all places!

[@tech_craft]

At that price I’ll get one and give it a test. Another brand that seems popular is Wyze. These need a bit more work to get going but they are known to work well. I have one arriving this week for test and tutorial.

[@mindbalance_cc]

Tech Craft Yep I’m going to finally get a Pi and then try any cheap IP cameras I can find. Don’t think Sainsbury’s has this any more but by the looks of things Amazon has KC100 for £30. Oddly enough the newer version “Tapo” doesn’t state it offers AAC audio. Hey ho - so far haven’t want to invest ££££ into home automation stuff. But doing it this way via HOOBS offers the Apple eco system I feel is needed but with a host of accessories I can pay less for and enjoy tinkering with 🤓! Thanks again. Felix

How do I set up the motion sensor?

Does this set up work with UniFi protect

There's a dedicated plugin for UniFi protect that makes the whole process quite a bit simpler: www.npmjs.com/package/homebridge-unifi-protect2

That looks like ffmpeg isn’t installed or can’t be found. Which HOOBS version are you using?

[@Roxelchen]

Tech Craft 3.1.20 installed on a RaspiV4 , also followed your link and installed that

[@tech_craft]

That’s the same config I use for my test box. Weird. Can you open a terminal in Hoobs and run ‘ffmpeg -version’? You can mail me at [e-mail] if you want to pick up there.

[@Roxelchen]

Tech Craft says command not found. Apparently Ffmpeg is not installed even though I followed your link. Hmm weird

[@tech_craft]

If run this ‘wget -q -O - bit.ly/get-ffmpeg | sudo bash -‘ in a terminal that will install ffmpeg and you should be good to go
