Hi Martin,

This old plugin is no longer supported. Luisiam has created a better functioning one which can find here:
https://github.com/luisiam/homebridge-foscamcamera

I’m using a fork of this myself which support live streaming in homekit:
https://github.com/echamberlain/homebridge-foscamcamera/tree/ffmpeg

Installation (don’t forget sudo) and configuration should be easy

Thanks roy!

No problem.
You should install homebridge and any plugins you want to use. See this for more details
https://github.com/nfarina/homebridge/wiki (look for the install pages and you platform)
Then create a configuration file in a directory e.g.: platform_dependent/.homebridge/config.ini
You should be able to run homebridge from the command line or terminal by simply executing: homebridge
Any errors should be shown in the log. If it runs ok you should see a qr code and PIN number which you can use to configure homekit on your iPhone or iPad.
