Add Any Camera to Homey ~ New Virtual Devices Camera Streaming

Homey just released a major camera streaming update and it changes everything. Homey now supports more camera brands including Ring, Google Nest, and Tapo, plus expanded video formats like RTSP, RTMP, HLS, and WebRTC. In this video, I show how enabling the Virtual Devices Experiment lets you add almost any IP camera to Homey using an RTSP stream. I demonstrate live streaming Amcrest & Reolink cameras inside Homey, explain why ONVIF can buffer on some Reolink cameras, and show the RTSP URL formats that work best. If you want more flexibility with cameras in your Homey smart home, this update is a game changer. 🟠 Homey Support Article: 🔔 Add Virtual IP Cameras to Homey: https://tinyurl.com/2df8f7rm 🟠 RTSP URL formats I used for Reolink & Amcrest: 🔵 AMCREST: (Main Stream): rtsp://username:password@cameraIP:554/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=0 (Sub Stream): rtsp://username:password@cameraIP:554/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=1 🔵 REOLINK (Main Stream): rtsp://username:password@cameraIP:554/h264Preview_01_main (Sub Stream): rtsp://username:password@cameraIP:554/h264Preview_01_sub * The sub stream is lower resolution and lower bitrate. This is the version most Homey users report as most stable when used with Virtual Devices. 🔵 Source Homey Pro and SmartThings Compatible Devices: 🛒- Bud's Amazon Store: https://www.amazon.com/shop/budssmarthome 🟡 SmartThings Edge Driver articles on my website: https://www.budshomeautomation.com 🟠 How to support Bud's Smart Home: 🔔 - Subscribe: www.youtube.com/c/BudsSmartHome ❤️ - Become a channel member: https://www.youtube.com/@BudsSmartHome/membership 👕 - Merch!: https://www.youtube.com/@BudsSmartHome/store 🛒 - Shop my Amazon Store: https://www.amazon.com/shop/budssmarthome 💳 - Buy me a Coffee: buymeacoffee.com/BudsSmartHome AMAZON ASSOCIATE DISCLAIMER: The links in this description are affiliate links.
