Security camera support

[xophr]

Hi there,

First of all - big thanks for this Plugin. It works like a charm - now my Philips ceiling lights finally work properly within both Homebridge and Apple Home.

Are you planning to implement support for Security cameras at some point? I tried adding my camera (mijia.camera.v1), which was identified by "Discover all devices via MiCloud", and it seems to be sort of successfully added, but alas does not work correctly.

Here's what the log says when loading the Accessory:

It does show up under Accessories as well, but only like this:

Let me know if there's any testing I can do to help!

Hi,

security cameras can be added and you control the camera setting using the plugins but unfortunately there is no live stream support currently as that requires some deep streaming knowledge and an actual camera to do the required development. There has already been questions about that in the past, the thing is that if someone has the knowledge and required hardware to do that is free to contribute and implement that.

Thanks for the prompt reply! This is clear to me now.
