Absolutely awesome, I followed your steps and worked perfectly. I had been looking for a way to integrate my Ubiquiti cameras into my home app for a while. Thank you again for the video, very well explained.
Duuude! You solved that status light issue I had. It never occurred to me to look in the settings for each camera IN HomeKit! DOH! Thanks for the videos! Love them!
Hi Eddie, great job! Thanks for sharing your knowledge in your videos. I made it to follow your steps to set up Homebridge. Now, I wonder if it´s possible to apply a different ring tone to my mobile with a longer duration via HomeKit instead the standard „Ding Dong“ from the Protect App. What do you think, pls share your thoughts.

Perfect solution! Im looking to get a raspberry pi mainly for this. Which specs would you recommend? 2GB, 4GB, 8GB? What is the min storage you would recommend? I am looking at the Pi 5 and would love to future proof it but also on a budget, lol.
Hey Johnny - I have released an updated video here ua-cam.com/video/LLz6pK2ZLkw/v-deo.html And I’d recommend purchasing a pi 5 - 4 or 8GB. Lastly - works like magic in Apple home
@eddiedsuza your video is great, it worked perfect for me. And @johnnybravo805 I used a Pi 5, 8GB also. I only have 4 cameras right now though but so far no issues.
Nice vid ! But I thought you’re with the HOOBS team ! Didn’t hear you mention them ? What happened 🤔 anyhow .. very informative video indeed .. I’m holding my order until the G4 flex is released ! Hopefully soon
Hey Thair ... Thanks for the compliment. Well I left the HOOBS team since Dec'21.... well had to return to work 100%.... It was just a temporary thing and am back to Homebridge from where the channel had started 😃. Am glad the video is helpful. and enjoy all the goodies with the Unifi System.
Eddie, your videos are great! Thank you. I have a question about monthly costs. I plan to install Homebridge on a Raspberry Pi and use it with Unifi Protect or Scripted. (I've seen your video about installing Homebridge & Scripted on one machine.) If I use either of these Homebridge plugins, do I have to subscribe to iCloud+ to use the Homekit Secure Video features on my iPhone when I'm away from home? Currently, I only have the free 5GB of iCloud storage. (Note, I hope to record locally on a hard drive.)
Hi Eddie, thanks for the great video it really helped. However I am facing an issue and was hoping you could help. The cameras populate in the Home app, but once I click on a camera to expand the view, it says accessory not responding. I've restarted the homebridge multiple times, and I have checked and rechecked all the settings. Similar to a viewer below, I could only run the user in Admin mode, I am running a UDM Pro however, but I do not have a limited admin option
Hey Mounir ... When i created a user account within the UDM Pro - i gave that user admin previlidges which i used in the plugin configuration. And it worked. Please delete and create a new user account
Brilliant works with these brands www.brilliant.tech/pages/works-with?filter=doorbells-and-cameras and Unifi does not integrate with any Smart Home Ecosystems ... Thats why these work around is needed 😇

You will need Homebridge to expose the cameras to HomeKit. To record to icloud - you will need a 50GB - 1 cam / 200GB - 4 cams / 2TB - Unlimited. So please check which icloud storage you are on as well. for doorbell notifications / chimes / automation - you will need a ATV & HomePod
@@eddiedsuza thanks, but still not clear on the Recording. I have the right icloud+ account. I can see my cams in home using homebridge. However i cannot change in home the cameras to stream&recording. It keeps saying i need a homekit hub when trying to change it to recording too. I was hoping using homebridge that was not needed.
Excellent video but I have some questions. In order to use homebidge with the Unifì cameras, is it possible to have the Unifi controller on my server or do I have to use a cloud key? For the recording of the videos on Homekit secure video do I need a Unifi NVR device such as cloud key? Thank you in advance :)
awesome video! I heard you can get face detection as well with this setup. Is it possible to get person or vehicle detections on your G3 Flex via homekit?
I feel like there is a 10 good seconds between the moment you press the doorbell button and the time you get the stream, right ? Isn't it a problem ? I feels like it's an eternity in case someone like a delivery guy is waiting.
There are 2 reasons to that - 1. The moment the bell is pressed - it connects via Ring servers and alerts you 2. Local Area Network - Ensure all connected devices have a strong wifi connectivity
nice video, i can do it correctly at only 1 UDM-Pro. (With Protect) but after i bought UNVR (2nd protect) and migrate all protect to UNVR, (shutdown UDM-Pro protect ) i can't login with local user seems like only accept local user can be add to Homebridge.
