Hi everyone,
I’m trying to integrate my ANNKE NVR with Scrypted and HomeKit, but I’m stuck with the cameras connected directly to the NVR’s built-in PoE ports.
Here’s my setup:
ANNKE N98PBK NVR (Firmware V4.75.000 Build 250415)
Scrypted v0.143
Hikvision Plugin
ONVIF Plugin
Mini PC running Scrypted
Both the Mini PC and the NVR are connected to the same UGREEN gigabit switch.
Current network:
NVR: 192.168.4.32
LAN cameras: 192.168.4.x
Cameras connected directly to the NVR PoE ports: 192.168.254.x
What works:
The Hikvision plugin successfully connects to the NVR.
I can view the NVR live stream in Scrypted.
Motion events from the NVR seem to work.
Cameras connected to my LAN are discovered normally through the ONVIF plugin.
The problem:
The four cameras connected directly to the NVR’s PoE ports do not appear as individual devices in Scrypted.
The NVR can see all of them, they’re recording correctly, and they appear in the ANNKE Vision app and on the NVR interface.
I’ve tried:
Enabling ONVIF on the cameras.
Using both Hikvision and ONVIF plugins.
Confirming the NVR and Mini PC are on the same network.
Verifying credentials.
Updating the NVR firmware.
My understanding is that the NVR creates its own internal 192.168.254.x subnet for the PoE ports.
My questions are:
Is it actually possible for Scrypted to expose the cameras connected directly to the NVR’s built-in PoE ports as individual HomeKit cameras?
Does the Hikvision plugin support importing the NVR channels individually?
Is there any workaround besides moving every camera off the NVR PoE ports and onto a regular PoE switch?
I’d appreciate any advice from someone using a Hikvision or ANNKE NVR with Scrypted.
Thanks!

Hi all, so far I have 2 of my Unifi cameras in Scrypted for testing, a G6 PTZ and a G6 Pro Entry. The Entry works great creating events and recordings in HKSV, but the PTZ doesn’t show any recordings. It’s set to stream and record and to create recordings/notifications for people and packages.

So far I have tried:
Turning on Motion Events in Unifi Protect
Removing and re-adding camera from HomeKit
Restarting Scrypted

Is there something I’m missing? All the settings seem to be correct.

Hi all, I have a full UniFi Protect setup with 9 cameras. I’m interested in some of the new features in iOS/homeOS 27 with HKSV (grouped notifications, AI summary, etc). Would using Scrypted be the right choice to get this working? My hope would be to disable notifications on the Protect app and only use it for management, and instead use the Home app for notifications/stream viewing. Now that it supports 4K cameras that’s a huge plus.

I assume these new HKSV features will work with cameras that are fed in via Scrypted since the UniFi plugin has good support? Is there anything else I need to know?

I’m using iOS 27 Beta and despite exposing my Ring cameras in Scrypted to HomeKit Secure Video it doesn’t appear to show Apple Intelligence as an option in settings like some are seeing for “supported” cameras. Has anyone gotten this to work, or is it truly going to be something only HomeKit Certified cameras and doorbells will support?

Anyone try higher resolutions feeds into homekit on ios27 yet and is it working?
