HomeKit
Cameras imported into Scrypted can be streamed to the iOS/macOS Home App including support for HomeKit Secure Video.
INFO
HomeKit Secure Video requires a HomePod or Apple TV. Detection of people, cars, and packages is done entirely on the Apple Home Hub. AI accelerators like Coral.ai are unnecessary.
Camera Configuration
Complete Camera Configuration and Add the Camera to Scrypted continuing with this setup. Verify the camera streams are working properly within Scrypted. There will be less moving parts when trying to troubleshoot issues.
HomeKit Setup
Install the HomeKit Plugin
.
The HomeKit Plugin
will automatically enable itself on all the devices currently integrated into Scrypted. In any case, Verify the HomeKit Plugin
is enabled for the camera. If it is not, enable it, then Reload
the HomeKit Plugin
.
HomeKit Pairing
Navigate to the Camera within Scrypted Management Console. View the HomeKit
Settings and open the Pairing
section. The pairing QR Code and manual codes can be found there. Use your iOS app to scan the QR Code and add it to the Home app.
HomeKit Secure Video
HomeKit Secure Video (HKSV) requires cameras with motion sensors and specific codec settings. Both of these settings should have already been configured as part of the Camera Configuration.
Enable Stream and Recording
on the camera in the iOS Home app.
