Yep generally the same here but as the current system is working well then the extra bits (and I must agree) are twiddly niceties and to be honest giving me something to look into now I'm retired. If I was still in work it'd not be a problem, but as she is now the only one in full time...

Thanks for confirming that... The CFO (wife) is strongly against any additional spending on IT now that I'm retired...... So no purchase of additoional switches or additional ethernet cabling (in conduit externally round the house) VLC did work I just had to authenticate it for each test. :)...

Hmm does anyone have an up to date link for the DS-7608NI-K2/8P firmware? I'm currently on 'V4.30.011, Build 200803', and I'm hoping there is newer firmware which supports enabling the third stream from the cameras.

I've also tried changing the subnetmask to 255.255.255.0 (i.e /24) it makes no difference at all.

No great rush, I'm retired so anytime is likely good for me (pending my wife not setting anything up) LOL

Alas this doesn't make any difference on my Mac at all I still get the plugin message.

I'm on an Intel Mac Mini running Monterey 12.6, and I get the plugin message..... This happens both in Safari and also the Technical preview variant.

Okay a bit off topic here, a networking query. Hoping someone more knowledgeable than myself over networking can help. My cameras are on a separate network hosted on the NVR (192.168.254.x) from my main network. The main network is 192.168.1.x with the NVR itself being 192.168.1.77. To try to...

Interesting Safari doesn't work for me, what did you do to get it working?

In the end I did manage to both cameras I wanted to use working in Homebridge but that took the NAS CPU up from 13% load to 67%. So the project is shelved until I can invest in a Raspberry Pie to take the load off the NAS. At least if / when I go that route I have all the configurations saved out.

Well to finish the thread off guys the steps top get the cameras working were: Migrate Homebridge to Docker instead of using the native synology package When adding homebridge into docker include FFmpeg as part of the install script The only plugin which worked was The Homebridge Camera FFmpeg...

Well hi guys...... back from a great weeks holiday in NE Yorkshire, and enjoying plenty of new gadgets..... Anyway to work :) I've not made any progress with getting the camera to appear in Homebridge at all on the NAS using the standard Synology Homebridge package. So I've gone down the route...

I'm now thinking as I'm running Homebridge as a package on my NAS that the FFmpeg package (even though installed on the NAS) may not be accessible by the Homebridge package / plugins. So what I'll look to try as soon as will be to install Docker (which I had been wanting to avoid) and fully...

@%@£@%@% or words to that effect. Copy paste error. It looks like I'm locked out again for another 30 minutes. Right...... I've found the setting to turn off the lockouts.... I've looked to try: rtsp://192.168.1.77/Streaming/Channels/302/ in VLC, which should be the 3rd camera, secondary...

Thanks for that. I've removed the forwarding rules, as you say they are not needed. Okay so I've simplified down to using the following, but if I do that how does VLC know which camera it is to access, as they are defined by the virtual machine ports of 65001, 65002, 65003 for each camera...

Right, so based on that and the wizard output from ipconnect and taking into account the virtual machine for the camera the stream should be: rtsp://admin:adminpw@192.168.1.77:65001/Streaming/Channels/101 As the NVR is 192.168.1.77, the virtual machine for the camera is 65001, and the main...

I've tried to validate each RTSP stream using VLC and again nothing displays, so yeah I think the issue is with the RTSP stream itself. Mind you, on some stream URLs I tried in VLC it did state that only some types of RTSP stream were now supported – I didn't catch the exact message. I've been...

Okay to recap....... The NVR is IP address 192.168.1.77 The Drive Camera is 192.168.254.5 (on the NVR network) The Drive Camera virtual machine port is 65001 The router has a static route sending all traffic for 192.168.254.5 to 192.168.1.77 Ports 554 and 65001-65003 are open on the NAS firewall...

Okay I've just checked out that thread, and I've tried various permutations, still no luck..... Next I've been to the plugin page on Git and tried out the HIKVision configs on there, still 'No response'. They also have a link to ispyconnect which gives details of configs from various camera...

Well one step forward two steps backwards - ish ..... I've searched though all the Homebridge plugins available looking under HikVision and CCTV and tried all the plugins available. Some are NVR based others look to connect to the cameras directly. None of the NVR based plugins work, neither...
