HomeKit Secure Video Setup

1. Install Scrypted.
2. Open https://localhost:10443/ (substitute localhost appropriately for a remote server).
3. Install the Unifi, HikVision, ONVIF, or Amcrest camera plugin.
   • HKSV requires a plugin with hardware motion detect support.
   • If there's no plugin for your camera but it supports motion alerts using mail, use the generic RTSP, SMTP plugin, and Dummy Switch plugin. This will create a mail activated motion sensor.
   • If there's no plugin or mail support for your camera, you can install the generic RTSP and the OpenCV motion detector plugin. This will use the processing power on your server to detect camera motion.
4. Install the HomeKit Plugin.
5. Install the Rebroadcast plugin.
   • This is optional but highly recommended. It keeps a short video loop of the stream in memory leading up to the motion.
6. Pair with the Scrypted Server accessory using your HomeKit app on iOS or Mac.
7. Enable recording on the cameras in HomeKit.
