Here my equipment:

  • Hikvision DS-7608NXI-I2/8P/S, NVR Acusense 4K PoE 8 canaux
  • Hikvision DS-2CD2386G2-ISU/SL(2.8mm)(C)
  • HomeAssistant with Scrypted
  • Apple TV 4K acting as HomeHub

So, I have my Hikvision cameras integrated into Scrypted via the Hikvision plugin. My cameras record in HKSV and it all works for the most parts. I dont have return audio, but thats another topic.

In order for HKSV to record, the camera needs a motion sensor. As much as I understood I can get this motion sensor from the camera but also from the NVR. At the moment it is configured that the NVR provides this motion sensor. But when I switch it to the camera then it does no longer record. And I think this is somehow connected to the fact that my to way audio doesn't work either.

Please stick to the topic. I do know that I have recordings also in the NVR. I like the ease of access using HomeKit to access my cameras because its literally a swipe away, on my TV etc

Has someone experience with a similar configuration?
Many thanks!
