Can any cameras be used for both HomeKit and SS (w/o HomeBridge)?

I am wondering if any of the HomeKit compatible cameras out there for sale that can ALSO be used with SecuritySpy? Perhaps a dual-stream (like many IP cameras) where HomeKit could get one stream and the other stream could be configured for HomeKit?

Probably wishful thinking! I haven't heard of such a camera and there may not be any - but just asking in case I am wrong.

My previous play with HomeBridge wasn't entirely successful. I'm considering trying it again. But I really only have need for one or two cameras to be displayed in the Home app. Between (what I hearI) a 10-12 second lag for HomeBridge'd cameras and only needing one (or maybe two) of my many cameras to be on the Home app, HomeBridge may be overkill.

Before I re-try HomeBridge, just checking if there are any dual HK+ONVIF cameras out there.

Thanks!

  • I meant dual stream where one stream could go to HomeKit and the other could go to SecuritySpy using something like the ONVIF standard.
  • This is a good question, I too would like to know if anyone has come across any! There is no technical reason why this wouldn't be possible. So far, I haven't, and it may indeed be wishful thinking, but I'm sure such a thing would be useful for many users.
