homebridge-unifi-protect VS homebridge-syno-spk

For several years I've been relying on an authentication mechanism with my main UDM (v3.1.16) that relies on the X-CSRF-Token header returned when doing a GET request directly to the UDM's IP address, as per the instructions found here (https://github.com/hjdhjd/homebridge-unifi-protect/blob/main/docs/ProtectAPI.md).

Nice suggestions using relays as. Alternatively, if you can use a Protect Chime (may require multiple as they are not very loud) - https://eu.store.ui.com/collections/unifi-accessories/products/smart-chime or if you are feeling adventurous, you can use existing smart speakers as chimes with a Home Assistant (https://johnzanussi.com/posts/unifi-g4-doorbell-chime-with-sonos) or Homebridge integration (https://github.com/hjdhjd/homebridge-unifi-protect).

I also have only HSV cameras or Ubiquiti ones for this reason. Everything I care about is stored on-site or in the cloud with end-to-end encryption, no privacy or surveillance state enablement concerns.

There's a great HomeBridge plugin which enables HomeKit Secure Video on my UniFi Protect cameras: https://github.com/hjdhjd/homebridge-unifi-protect

Which Homebridge Unifi Protect plugin did you try? This one worked well for me, but I eventually got tired of maintaining 2 camera systems and gave up on HKSV. My wife actually prefers the Unifi Protect app anyway since it has continuous history and a decent UI- so why bother with HK?

For the plug-in ? There’s the repository.

How does scrypted compare to https://github.com/hjdhjd/homebridge-unifi-protect ? This works pretty well but does have some delays loading cams at times.

I noticed there is a new release of Homebridge 3.0.17 available in the Synology Package Manager. Does anyone know of a change log I can follow? I see this is labeled as pre-release in the repo, but I don't see any details on changes in most of the version notes. I'd just like to see what's new before installing.

This was based on the instruction I found here: https://github.com/oznu/homebridge-syno-spk/issues/29 But I seem to be having an issue. This is the message I get in the logs:

I believe you will want the armada37xx package from this page: https://github.com/oznu/homebridge-syno-spk/releases/tag/3.0.9

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction, I found this issue, which helped me fix it: https://github.com/oznu/homebridge-syno-spk/issues/108

FYI, if you're going to install Homebridge use the official package. I had performance issues running it in Docker.

Recently switched over to the Homebridge (Oznu) package for easier maintaining.
