unifi-protect-backup VS scrypted

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)

lazyweb: https://github.com/koush/scrypted (regrettably the licensing is "it depends" https://github.com/koush/scrypted/blob/v0.93.0/LICENSE.md#li... )

and don't overlook that user's other repos, as seems like there are quite a few fun things in there: https://github.com/koush?tab=repositories

I have taken a look at the page for debugging steps for Homekit recording and haven’t played with any setting mentioned there.

Unfortunately the options for HKSV doorbells is fairly limited. The Logitech circle view Doorbell looks like the best candidate but it has a spotty review history, with the biggest complaint being it breaking in direct sunlight.

I’m about to buy some cameras and I’m thinking of just buying Nest and using https://scrypted.app to bridge to HKSV.

In the demo video linked to from the Scrypted Github repo, the author has some kind of a delivery box (visible in the top camera), with a camera inside the box in night vision mode, able to report on whether there’s anything in the box. Does anyone know how this setup was achieved, or have done something similar to combine a camera with a closed delivery box?

You can migrate the scrypted setup with this: https://github.com/koush/scrypted/wiki/Scrypted-Backup-and-Restore

I see two options, both from brands that seem to be well-received on the brand report card.

You might want to try setting them up with Scrypted then use the plugin to get them into Homebridge.
