homebridge-camera-ui

Bugfixes

• Several issues that caused the process to crash have been fixed

Notable Changes

Notable Changes

• Config:
  • Added "motionDelay" parameter to the camera block. Motion Delay: The number of seconds to wait to trigger the motion sensor after a motion event is received from e.g. MQTT, SMTP, FTP or HTTP (this can be useful if you use an external motion sensor and the camera feed lags several seconds behind the event).

Other Changes

• Minor UI improvements (camera.ui)
• Bump dependencies

Bugfixes

• Fixed an issue where replacing deprecated ffmpeg args failed due to invalid ffmpeg version (camera.ui)

Bugfixes

• Fixed an issue where you could no longer see the camera streams via homebridge-config-ui-x

Other Changes

• MQTT: When motion is detected, two MQTT messages are now published on following topics:
  1. camera.ui/notifications: Contains all notifications AFTER motion has been detected AND recorded.
  2. camera.ui/motion (can be changed in the interface): Contains motion event (before something is recorded).
• Deprecated FFmpeg arguments will be auto replaced now (camera.ui)
• Minor improvements to probe stream (camera.ui)

Bugfixes

• Fixed an issue where the recording process (HSV) was not terminated by the forceCloseTimer when motionTimeout was disabled
• Fixed an issue where changing camera settings via the interface did not work (camera.ui)

Other Changes

Bugfixes

• Minor bugfixes

Notable Changes

• Interface:
  • Recordings: The recordings section has been redesigned and now includes another list mode to view the recordings. The filter function has been redesigned.
  • Camera: Added a new endpoint for direct streaming (/cameras/:name/feed)
  • Cameras: The cameras section has been redesigned and now includes another list mode to view the cameras.
  • Notifications: The filter function has been redesigned.
  • Console: Added a new filter function
  • System: Improved loading time (npm)
• Config:
  • Top level "debug" in config.json is deprecated now. Replaced with "logLevel". Log Level: Show only defined log level. (Info = Show informative messages during processing. This is in addition to warnings and errors - Debug: Show everything, including debugging information - Warning: Show only warnings and errors - Error: Show only errors)
  • Added "hksvConfig" to the camera block next to "videoConfig". Here various parameters are defined for the HKSV recording process only, such as a different source, vcodec, acodec, etc.
  • Added "disable" parameter to the camera block. The parameter disables the camera and removes it from HomeKit.
• MQTT: When motion is detected, the messages are now also published via MQTT to the topic configured under Settings > Cameras > Notifications > MQTT Publish Topic

Breaking Changes

• homebridge-camera-ui / camera.ui has been refactored and is now a ESM package.

Notable Changes

• homebridge-config-ui-x (config.schema.json)
  • "unbridge" is now set to true by default in config.schema.json ! If no false is entered in config for "unbridge", then homebridge-config-ui-x will change it to true and on the next restart of Homebridge your bridged camera will be passed to Homebridge as unbridged (which is also recommended)!
