- ## What This Plugin Does
27
-
28
- This plugin integrates Ring locations and devices into HomeKit via Homebridge, including:
29
-
30
- - Ring cameras and doorbells
31
- - Ring Alarm devices and sensors
32
- - Ring chimes and intercoms
33
- - Ring Smart Lighting and supported alarm-connected devices
34
- - Thermostats, locks, outlets/switches, valves, and other supported accessory types
35
-
36
- It also introduces HKSV-focused controls such as:
37
-
38
- - `enableHksv`
39
- - `disableHksvOnBattery`
40
- - `hksvPrebufferLengthMs`
41
- - `hksvFragmentLengthMs`
42
- - `hksvMaxRecordingSeconds`

- ## How This Fork Differs From Upstream
45
-
46
- This fork is intended as a standalone package/repository with your own plugin identity and HKSV-focused iteration.
47
-
48
- In short:
49
-
50
- - Standalone plugin packaging
51
- - Custom branding/repository ownership
52
- - Additional HKSV recording controls exposed in config
53
-
54
- Core Ring platform behavior still relies on `ring-client-api`, so many upstream troubleshooting guides remain relevant.

  HKSV support is experimental and actively evolving. Behavior may vary by camera model, wired vs battery power, Ring API changes, and FFmpeg environment.

73
+ I currently am able to run 3 cameras with HKSV enabled on a Homebridge instance ran on a M4 Mac Mini 32GB of RAM.
74
+ Please report your experience and setup details to help improve support.
