+
+### 5. Verification Tests
+
+Run these tests with your actual Dahua NVR:
+
+#### Test 1: Discovery
+```bash
+# Expected output:
+# [Dahua] ✅ Connected to Dahua NVR: NVR5216-16P-4KS2 (...)
+# [Dahua] 🔍 Discovering cameras from Dahua NVR...
+# [Dahua] Found 8 camera(s)
+# [Dahua] Adding new camera: Front Door (Channel 1)
+# ...
+```
+
+#### Test 2: Streaming
+```bash
+# Open Home app
+# Select any camera
+# Video should start within 2-3 seconds
+# No buffering or stuttering
+# Audio should work (if enabled)
+```
+
+#### Test 3: Motion Detection
+```bash
+# Expected in logs:
+# [Dahua] 🎬 Starting motion event stream...
+# [Dahua] ✅ Event stream connected and receiving data
+# [Dahua] 👂 Registered listeners for 8 camera(s)
+
+# Trigger motion on camera:
+# [Dahua] 🚨 Motion event: channel=1, type=VideoMotion, active=true
+# [Dahua] 📢 Notifying 1 listener(s) for channel 1
+# [Front Door] Motion detected
+
+# In Home app:
+# Motion sensor should show "Motion Detected"
+# After timeout:
+# [Dahua] 🚨 Motion event: channel=1, type=VideoMotion, active=false
+# Motion sensor should clear
+```

+
+```json
+{
+  "platforms": [
+    {
+      "platform": "DahuaUltimate",
+      "name": "Dahua NVR",
+      "host": "192.168.1.100",
+      "port": 80,
+      "secure": false,
+      "username": "admin",
+      "password": "yourpassword",
+      "streamType": "mainstream",
+      "videoProcessor": "/usr/bin/ffmpeg",
+      "debugMotion": false,
+      "probeOnStartup": false,
+      "cameras": [
+        {
+          "channelId": 1,
+          "name": "Front Door",
+          "manufacturer": "Dahua",
+          "model": "IPC-HDW5831R-ZE",
+          "enableMotion": true,
+          "motionTimeout": 1,
+          "enableRecording": false,
+          "videoConfig": {
+            "maxStreams": 2,
+            "maxWidth": 1920,
+            "maxHeight": 1080,
+            "maxBitrate": 2000,
+            "encoder": "vaapi",
+            "audio": true,
+            "debug": false
+          }
+        }
+      ]
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+## Hardware Acceleration Setup
+
+### AMD/Intel GPU (VAAPI) - Recommended for Linux
+
+1. Install VAAPI drivers:
+```bash
+# Ubuntu/Debian
+sudo apt-get install vainfo mesa-va-drivers
+
+# Verify VAAPI
+vainfo
+```
+
+2. Configure camera to use VAAPI:
+```json
+{
+  "videoConfig": {
+    "encoder": "vaapi"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+3. Performance: Reduces CPU usage from 40-80% to 5-15%
+
+### Apple Silicon/Intel (VideoToolbox)
+
+VideoToolbox is automatically available on macOS:
+```json
+{
+  "videoConfig": {
+    "encoder": "videotoolbox"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### NVIDIA GPU (NVENC)
+
+```json
+{
+  "videoConfig": {
+    "encoder": "nvenc"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Raspberry Pi (OMX)
+
+```json
+{
+  "videoConfig": {
+    "encoder": "omx"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Motion Detection
+
+Motion detection is enabled by default and works with:
+
+- **Video Motion Detection** (VMD)
+- **Line Crossing Detection** (IVS Tripwire)
+- **Intrusion Detection** (IVS Region)
+- **Alarm Inputs**
+
+### Configure Motion Timeout
+
+```json
+{
+  "cameras": [
+    {
+      "channelId": 1,
+      "enableMotion": true,
+      "motionTimeout": 1  // Seconds to report motion after detection
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+### Disable Motion for Specific Camera
+
+```json
+{
+  "cameras": [
+    {
+      "channelId": 2,
+      "enableMotion": false
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+## HomeKit Secure Video (HKSV)
+
+To enable HKSV recording:
+
+1. Enable in camera config:
+```json
+{
+  "cameras": [
+    {
+      "channelId": 1,
+      "enableRecording": true
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+2. In the Home app:
+   - Open camera settings
+   - Select "Recording Options"
+   - Choose recording mode
+   - Requires iCloud+ subscription
+
+## Stream Types
+
+Choose the stream quality based on your network:
+
+- **mainstream** - 1080p/4MP (default) - Best quality, higher bandwidth
+- **substream** - 720p/D1 - Good quality, medium bandwidth  
+- **thirdstream** - CIF/QCIF - Lower quality, low bandwidth
+
+Configure globally:
+```json
+{
+  "streamType": "mainstream"
+}
+```
+
+Or per camera:
+```json
+{
+  "cameras": [
+    {
+      "channelId": 1,
+      "videoConfig": {
+        "maxWidth": 1280,
+        "maxHeight": 720
+      }
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Camera Not Discovered
+
+1. Check NVR is accessible:
+```bash
+curl -u admin:password http://192.168.1.100/cgi-bin/magicBox.cgi?action=getSystemInfo
+```
+
+2. Enable debug logging:
+```json
+{
+  "debugMotion": true
+}
+```
+
+3. Check Homebridge logs for errors
+
+### Motion Detection Not Working
+
+1. Verify motion detection is enabled in camera web UI
+2. Enable motion debug:
+```json
+{
+  "debugMotion": true
+}
+```
+
+3. Check logs for motion events:
+```
+[Dahua] 🚨 Motion event: channel=1, type=VideoMotion, active=true
+```
+
+### Streams Not Loading
+
+1. Test RTSP manually:
+```bash
+ffplay -rtsp_transport tcp "rtsp://admin:password@192.168.1.100:554/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=0"
+```
+
+2. Check credentials and host/port
+3. Enable video debug:
+```json
+{
+  "cameras": [{
+    "videoConfig": {
+      "debug": true
+    }
+  }]
+}
+```
+
+### High CPU Usage
+
+1. Enable hardware acceleration (VAAPI recommended for Linux)
+2. Use sub-stream instead of main stream
+3. Reduce max bitrate:
+```json
+{
+  "videoConfig": {
+    "maxBitrate": 1000
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## API Endpoints Used
+
+This plugin uses the following Dahua HTTP API endpoints:
+
+- `/cgi-bin/configManager.cgi?action=getConfig&name=Encode` - Channel discovery
+- `/cgi-bin/configManager.cgi?action=getConfig&name=ChannelTitle` - Channel names
+- `/cgi-bin/magicBox.cgi?action=getSystemInfo` - Device info
+- `/cgi-bin/eventManager.cgi?action=attach&codes=[VideoMotion,...]` - Motion events
+- `rtsp://host:554/cam/realmonitor?channel=N&subtype=0` - Video streaming
+
