Welcome to the homebridge-camera-ffmpeg wiki!

Hikam S5 + Raspberry Pi2

  • using homebridge-camera-ffmpeg-omx from legotheboss
  • removed "-tune zerolatency" from ffmpeg.js (invalid option for my installation)
  • low res "rtsp://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/onvif2" stream works fine w/ moderate cpu load
  • high res "rtsp://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/onvif1" stream works w/ cpu load of 150%

Blue Iris If you have a Blue Iris server, you can add any camera with the following configuration:

	{
  	    "platform": "Camera-IP",
  	    "cameras": [
    	        {
      	            "name": "Front Door",
      	            "videoConfig": {
      		        "source": "-re -i http://user:password@serverip/h264/camshortname/temp.ts",
        	        "stillImageSource": "-i http://user:password@serverip/image/camshortname?q=75",
      		        "maxStreams": 2,
      		        "maxWidth": 1280,
      		        "maxHeight": 1024,
      		        "maxFPS": 15
      	            }
    	        }
  	    ]
	}
  • user/password - user with camera view permissions in Blue Iris
  • serverip - The IP or hostname of your Blue Iris server
  • camshortname - The short name of the camera in Blue Iris

For example, you could use the following URL if for user:homebridge, passowrd: password, server: bi.example.com, camshortname: driveway http://homebridge:password@bi.example.com/h264/driveway/temp.ts
