NA-KB6023-WIP video doorbell
Sorry it’s a NA-KB6013-WIP…
So, currently I have a hikvision NVR with 3 PoE cams connected via a PoE switch - works perfectly. I have these cams linked to HomeKit via homebridge to provide HKSV support for alerts - Cams record constantly but HKSVvdetects motion and records activity in iCloud…
So thought let’s get a matching video doorbell - (above model) this is arriving soon and I know I can link this to HKSV the same way as I linked my other cams via RTSP for video streaming etc.
Suddenly had a thought of how will the doorbell itself be exposed to HomeKit via homebridge ? Will it even work?
At present I use Camera_ui homebridge plugin which works flawlessly, has anyone here have this doorbell or similar integrated into their smart home ? Notifications of doorbell pushes apparently go via the hik-connect app ?
I currently have have a eufy doorbell which also is connected to HomeKit via homebridge but does not support HKSV as no RTSP stream is available.
Please advise - I can’t be the first person who wants to do this surely

I use the DS-HD1 and added it into Hik-Connect. All notifications come from the Hik app and it saves a picture when someone pushes the button.
That’s great to know but was hoping to integrate this into HomeKit somehow, either via a homebridge plugin or capturing the hik-connect notification…
