homebridge-unifi-protect VS unifi-protect-backup

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?

This one https://github.com/hjdhjd/homebridge-unifi-protect

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.

Homebridge UniFi Protect

Protect does not support it but I use this https://github.com/ep1cman/unifi-protect-backup See my other comments below about protect/your set up.

Not exactly what you're asking for, but I use this project to upload detection events to cloud storage as they occur: https://github.com/ep1cman/unifi-protect-backup/

I use https://github.com/ep1cman/unifi-protect-backup/pkgs/container/unifi-protect-backup to download and push motion events to my OneDrive. Makes it super easy to share clips.

I use this docker container https://github.com/ep1cman/unifi-protect-backup, which backups the alert footage to my nas and then that gets backed up to Google drive.

I mostly just followed the instructions on the GitHub: https://github.com/ep1cman/unifi-protect-backup/pkgs/container/unifi-protect-backup

Use a third party solution (not an endorsement, i've never personally used this solution)
