...not when there is nothing else to add but when there is nothing left to take away.
I am only using this plugin to display cameras from my CCTV system (that is already recording 20/7 on a NVR) to the apple home app.
I know that I could use the FFmpeg plugin but after testing I found the camera UI plugin is using less CPU and image quality is better - I don't know why or even if it's true.
Is there a degraded mode that only ports camera to homekit without all the bells and whistles?
Important
🚀 New Version in Development 🚀
A new version of camera.ui is currently under active development - in progress are advanced works on the alpha version and the public beta will be available soon.
Stay tuned for exciting updates:
seydx/camera.ui#448
Caution
This version will not be developed, current bugs will not be fixed and new features will not be introduced.
sounds exciting indeed! it would be great if in the new version, one can choose how much features he wants to use.
I have been enjoying your plugin and I must say it is very reliable, which in this worls is the most important feature... bravo!
It is not my plugin. seydx is the author. You can test new version - you can install it next to Homebridge, so you can have old version and new version at the same time. And yes - in new version you can install only these plugins that you want. HomeKit works much much better. But at this time there is no local recordings yet.
Thanks but I'll wait for the next version to be released. The current version is working very well for me. I have a RPi 3 with two cameras and using about 5% CPU only. I Hope the next version will still work on my config and not add CPU load.
The one big feature that could be added in the new version is H.265+ support.

New version support h265 and much more. But HomeKit support only h264 so every stream other than h264 is transcoded to h264 in HomeKit.
