Multiple Camera's

[ericklil]

Great Work Matthias !!

Thank you for your continued iterations of HomeKit bettering products Can you indicate how to run multiple camera's Presumably one must change the MAC address and perhaps the 001-02-003 code?

PS setting up wifi requires setting the country in the wpa_supplicant.conf

The below worked for me:

country=US ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev update_config=1

network={ ssid="your_real_wifi_ssid" scan_ssid=1 psk="your_real_password" key_mgmt=WPA-PSK }

Actually you don't have to change anything to get multiple cameras to work. The PIN code can stay the same because it's only used for the initial pairing.

But I would change the hostnames of your Raspberry Pis, so that you can distinguish them. I personally use the following hostnames for my cameras: hkcam01, hkcam02, and so on.

Oh, that's new to me. Is it really a requirement?

I believe the default country for WiFi on RPI's isGB and as such perhaps carries the same channels as DE. As the WiFi did not seem to connect I put a head on the RPi Zero and saw a line upon start up "Wifi does not start without country being set" or something to that extend. After adding the country code if worked fine.

You can use sudo raspi-config or - if available - the UI too. And I think, there's a lot of bash scripts in the web.
