Really Cool! Did not know this was possible.
Your welcome. Cheers
Dude… thanks for this. Such a great tutorial.
Your Welcome .. Cheers
Great video to help get cameras setup in Homekit - secure video too! I had an issue with the port being different, easy fix though.
Glad it helped! Cheers
Eddie, great video as always. I have been waiting to install Scrypted until I can get my hands on a Pi4, but you cannot find a new Pi anywhere! I am glad you tried on a 3B+. With the Pi 3B+ only running Scrypted like this, how many cameras do you think you can support? How is the CPU utilization with one? Two? Three?
It will asily handle 3 to 4 cameras and appreciate the feedback
Thanks Eddie for your content. Some observations: On Raspberry Pi 4B, I needed to install the legacy lite 64-bit version. The scrypted installation command you identified failed repeatedly when attempted on the non-legacy 64-bit lite version. Also, need the Amcrest plugin instead of rstp for their cameras if I wanted more HomeKit functionality beyond just video.
Oh yes - you are right ... Its high time I start updating videos with Debian 12 base images that the open source softwares are migrating.
Hi Eddie, thanks for great instructional videos. I have unifi protect cameras and a reolink door bell camera. I don't see you using Homebridge for this setup with rtsp streams. Which set up is better: Homebridge + Scrypted OR Scrypted alone using rtsp?
Hello Chandra ... If you only want to run pure RTSP cameras and a dedicated NVR system = Scrypted.
Want a all in one solution to support legacy devices as well as Cams with Homekit secure video - then Homebridge and the camera ui plugin.
Thanks Eddie, I can finally get my 2 Wyze and one Reolink camera on my Apple Home. Question, where do you find RTPS stream url on the Wyze camera's?
Edit: Starting the install and am at the point of running the install script in terminal. The script in the link you provided is different than in the video. Mainly /main/docker/install-scrypted... . The script in the link is /main/install/local/install-scrypted... I guess my question is should I edit command or go with what is in the web pge?
Please use this video to create WTZE rtsp links ua-cam.com/video/jURs95pQzms/v-deo.html
Hello Eddie, great video - I just got the PI4 today is cannot wait importing my cameras to HK. One question though - I have an IoT network / VLAN for hubs such as Philips Hue, Aqara etc and I really would like the PI to join that VLAN but will that give me any issues when my Apple TV is on my main LAN (different IP subnet) ?
You can add that Pi on that VLAN. However please ensure all the IoT Devices are on the same network so that they can be discovered and update their status with Apple Home App
Hi Eddie, Thanks for you wonderful work. It really helps me building smart home within my affordable budget. I would like to ask you a question that if I can install Homebridge, Scripted and Home Assistant services in one raspberry pi or I need three different raspberry pi's? Currently I use my dedicated computer to run these three services.
Appreciate the feedback. Well for starters - I know you can use a pi 4 to run homebridge and scrypted where I did a video on it. For HA - please use a dedicated Pi cause the system itself is a full blown smart home system.
Will a 2gb pi 4 be good just to run HA?
Great video. Will this work with NEST cameras?
Apprently there is a plugin you can try
Hi, I LOVE your content and also installed Homebridge on a Raspberry Pi 4 and now I can see my Ring-Cams in HomeKit. What I wanna do is go further and install Scrypted to get the HomeKitSecure feature… My question is: Can I take off the MicroSD from my Raspberry which I used before to flash/install Homebridge and do the same thing like you discribing it here without worrying that I delete or overwrite anything on that SD card that I need for me provious Homebridge installation/setup? Maybe a dump question but I‘m super happy that everything is working with Homebridge and my Raspberry and I dont wanna ruin it when I take off the MicroCard to install Scrypted… Does that make sense to you/do you now what I mean? 🙈 THANKS IN ADVANCE & keep up the great channel!
Before you can swap the SD cards - download a latest Homebridge backup to your computer. Then use a brand new SD card - Install Homebridge & Scrypted following the guide. Run both systems side by side and then import the backup to Homebridge. Everything will be back online. Cheers
Eddie, I have read that PAM plugin for motion detection is deprecated and the current recommendation is OpenCV. Tried that and it seems to work great, but it’s constantly detecting motion. Have you, or anyone reading along here, ever used OpenCV to configure the motion detection, and if so, what size/threshold values are you using so that it is not recording 24/7? The defaults are not right.
Firstly thanks for the info with pam detection. Can you please check under openCV if there is any config that can be adjusted
Thanks very much for the great video. I've gotten scrypted set up, my RTSP stream is working well, added the PAM and Open CV plugins, but I just can't get anything to connect to the home app. I have installed the homekit plugin, and it just spins for a few mins and eventually says unable to connect. I'm on the same network. Can't find anywhere where I may have missed a step, any suggestion? Thank you!
Reload the Homekit plugin or reset the pairing code.
Just curious as to the “why”. Is it just another way of having your own NVR or to avoid paying for iCloud storage (when using HomeKit) or does it give some additional advantages over NVR/NAS storage? My video feed is stored on both my Amcrest NVR and my Synology NAS. Synology has all my camera feeds except the Arlo camera (the only cameras I regret getting). The Amcrest NVR only has the Amcrest cameras.
Lets say options that are available :)
Hi Eddie. Is h.265 supported? I think the newer reolinks are h.265 only. Thanks for your help!
Apple Homekit only supports H.264
Hi Eddie, is this still the most recent way to install Scrypted on a Pi4? Or would you say that your Pi5 video wit Homebridge/Docker set up is a better way to get security cameras into HomeKit (which is the main thing I care about)? I am having issues update Scripted on my Pi4 as it gets stuck on the update when I hit update and restart in the management console. So was thinking of starting fresh. Or any idea how to solve the update issue?
I double checked and it's still the go to install on a Pi4 . You could use the Pi5 hardware and use Docker to install all the apps to maximize use and the hardware. If you do use docker - then make sure you also install watch tower to automatically update the docker containers.
Great video! So if I have Wyze cameras and want to connect them to HomeKit, Scripted is my best option, right? I've been investigating but I'm not that tech savvy to be able to make that call on my own. Would really appreciate your input. Thanks!
Oh and for lights or sensors, I will still need Homebridge or something of the sorts, right? So a rpi 3 B+ to run both might not be powerful enough from what I gather. I'll probably need to go for the rpi 4B, right?
You will a RPI 4B to get the best of both worlds
@@eddiedsuza Thank you!
I have a dumb question because I’m not very good at this. I have already installed homebridge on my raspberry pi. Do I also install scrypted onto the raspberry pi as well? I thought when you flashed something onto your SD card that it deletes everything else on it. My question is, would I have homebridge and scrypted both on the SD card?
I have done a video on installing both on the same device without interuppting the operating system. However you will need a raspberry Pi 4 4GB to run both applications. the video can be found here ua-cam.com/video/WAUgmiIB0Hk/v-deo.html
Successfully installed thank to your guide, any idea how to add google nest cameras and doorbells?
I dont have a nest device to test - however there is this scrypted plugin you can refer to www.npmjs.com/package/@scrypted/google-device-access
Thanks for the video Eddie. I followed it about a month ago and had been working find, except for some instability in an old r.pi 3. 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 to alert you to this. 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?
Its normal to see the error .. Its just an alert .. Yes i have seen it when you add non-official devices to HomeKit 😇 Go ahead and add the cameras
@@eddiedsuza - discovered the real probably. I had not selected PAM Diff Motion detection. Without that, the motion recording features weren't available. I did also reboot my AppleTV hubs and HomePod mini to restart everything. So far so good. Running on a faster machine is proving to work much better than the old r.pi 3. Now I think I'll add some additional Wyze cameras. Thanks again!
@@brb408wpb your welcome. Cheers 🍻
Works with tuya cameras?
@Eddie I have just gotten RPI5, I am guessing this wouldn't work due to the updated PI5 os?
It wont .. Need to use the latest 64 bit version
Whats the difference between doing it this way and the docker compose way? it is recommending i do it with docker compose.
You can do it via docker compose as well. I just find running commands easy 😅
The Tapo C310 is one of the recommended crypted cameras but it is 2k camera will it still work on Apple Home secure video even though apple home secure video is only supposed to be for 1080 only?
Apple will only save in 1080p
Hey Eddie..thanks for this video..I am a newbie but managed to get scrypted installed on a rasberry pi 4 and successfully have my reolink poe doorbell camera working inside of scrypted..however when I scan the doorbell camera QR code I am getting the following error from the Home app: "Acccessory Not Found. You may need to restart your accessory before you can add it to your home"
Plz help
Hey Jack .. Make sure the phone and scrypted are on the same network. otherwise reload the HomeKit plugin
@@eddiedsuza I realised I had to disconnect from my eero mesh and connect to the modem SSID for the doorbell to scan into homekit..however now if I try to view the camera in homekit while connected to the mesh or even using mobile data it doesnt work..any suggestions?
Do you have any way to turn on/off a display/monitor using homebridge ?. For example: when I come to my desk, the monitor automatically turn on & wake my connected mac.
Hi there ... Monitors have their own switches that (as far as I know) are push button and reset once they are turned off ... So if you are looking to turn them on with close proximity - am not sure there is a way to do that.
@@eddiedsuza I mean if there are anyway to turn them on/off like TVs in homekit. So I can creat automation like that
Hi Eddie, it's me again. What is your Unify router model?
It’s the dream machine pro
Hi Eddie when I install this do I put it on the same SD card I have homebridge on? Sorta confused there. But i thought it would delete my current SD card
You can install it on the same SD card via a command line that i show in the video
@@eddiedsuza I think I figured it out thank you so much 😊
I have my full Scrypted server running off my MacBook Pro. Its setup perfectly, but I just got the raspberry pi and installed Scrypted per your video. Is there anyway to Migrate all of the info from the MacBook Pro Scrypted to the Raspberry PI?
Edit:
- so I setup my raspberry pi exactly how you have described.
- is the raspberry pi accessible via the HDMI or is it exclusively running the scrypted as a server?
- some of the plugins that were available on my mac are not available in the raspberry pi scrypted. As a result I’m seeing snapshot failed and no camera access.
I still havent found a backup and restore feature in Scrypted .. Need to do some digging around.
In scrypted go to settings and you should see backup and restore options.
Is there any way to just use the Raspberry PI local cam instead of a RSTP one?
You can as well ... As long as it uses the RTSP protocol ... Well this also gives me an idea to test one 😅
Hi, Eddie. Can Raspberry Pi4 8GB support 16 IP cameras using this method?
Easily !
Hi Eddie - I have installed scrypted and got my ring camera configured and can see them on HomeKit. One thing I am not able to do is get a video recording on my iCloud when there is motion detection. How can I get this fixed. Thanks
I have heard issues with the scrypted plugin so much so I took down the video i had created. there is an open issue that a fix is being done github.com/koush/scrypted/issues/1018
What is the network router you are using?
I am using the Unifi UDM Pro
Great video Eddie, I got my RPI4 setup in no time with Scrypted. However, when trying to add my camera to Apple Home it doesn't work. After scanning the QR code from the HomeKit plugin, my phone recognizes it as "Bridge" (and not as "Camera" as you show in the video) and then it takes several minutes to setup but fails in the end by saying the accessory is not responding. Any ideas what's happening?
Read the HomeKit docs they talk about making sure which code you scan in as there is one that functions as a bridge - it sounds like you scanned in the wrong code. Maybe delete from HomeKit, and then try again from device -> HomeKit->Pairing.
I have the same issue. Have you gotten it to work?
@@christianstahlbrandt you might be scanning the wrong code. See my previous comment. I saw this issue described somewhere in the documentation and that is what it said but I can longer find the doc.
@@1slyboy no, scanning the wrong code would add a bridge not causing the adding to fail. The codes scanned are for the cameras. I have solved the issue. Seems like Rpi 5, latest RPi OS and Scrypted don’t work well together. I installed Ubuntu instead and it works perfect. Also works flawlessly in MacOS.
@@christianstahlbrandt I used RPI legacy version as I had issues otherwise. Cheers!
I bought and added Tapo C320WS and it added to Scrypted but the snapshot plug in gives error and doesn't show anything. Any help on that if some one can?
please refer to this issue for fix - github.com/koush/scrypted/issues/836
Should I have docker on my raspberry pi? I get an error when installing scrypted and it never installs
You can use Docker to run Scrypted
I am looking to install it on a micro pc
please check out this guide docs.scrypted.app/server-hardware.html
Is there a way I can move my scrypted to another PC/raspberry pie?
You can swap the SD cards. I have not seen a restore feature within Scrypted. Need to check.
Can this be ran on a Pi 1 B+?
I dont think ... Scrypted needs good power to run
I've done all the Pi installation procedure and can see my IP in the IP scanner, but when I try to access to scrypted the explorer sends me this message: ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE what can I be doing wrong? Furthermore, with localhost, this is the message: ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED
Finally managed to access scrypted, added a wyze v3 camera but the HKSV is not available, any possible reason?
Install the Homekit plugin and under extentions - enable homekit and then reload the homekit plugin.
Question why can’t I access scrypted on 10443?
need to start the URL with https
I just get snapshot failed and I can’t add anything to HomeKit
Check the camera settings such as supports H264, is connected to your network and you are able to see the feed in scrypted
The commands are for Mac, kindly show the process using Windows PC with Hikvision cameras
HellO Asad ... i'd love too however need to locate a PC 😇
@@eddiedsuzaHey Eddie! Thanks for the reply. Looking forward to it.
Has anyone tried this on an RPI5 yet?
I still need to get my hands on one.
not working
use to access scrypted
6:25 a man of culture I see 😂
😎
I’m having trouble adding my ring cameras to scrypted. Can you help me?
Please let me what issues you are seeing
@@eddiedsuzaI was able to figure it out and added them but scrypted was using way too much of my cpu, I bought a raspberry pi 4b, and it was also getting way too hot up to 80° C so I removed it
Thanks for this video! I am interested in purchasing a Raspberry pi4 to accompany my Hoobs that I am using for HomeKit. I am hoping to get my ring cameras on my HomeKit to be more responsive in real time. My question is, do I remove the ring camera or plug in from HomeKit that I already have setup and re-add it to HomeKit with the scripted QR code? Or when I setup scripted with the ring cameras does it automatically update my Hoobs box for the camera links. Not really sure how this all work so I’m asking because I don’t know what I’m getting myself into exactly. If you have a link to something that you know would explain it that would be great as well. Thanks!
I’ve been on Hoobs for a year now. Got all my stuff running the way I want it with light switches (Leviton), garage door (myQ), security (ring) and nest thermostats. My video feed on my Apple TV is so slow to respond and I was hoping purchasing a raspberry pi 4 and running it with script I would be able to achieve this. Thanks!
Yes you will need to redo the ring setup via scrypted. Scrypted is another platform than HOOBS
