Same problem here. All set up and the bridge was added to the HOME app successfully but no accessory (video) available.

Plugin Version: 2.2.3 HOOBS Version: 4.3.0 Homebridge Version: 1.6.0 Node Version: 16.20.1

Solution: after adding the bridge and the camera to Home, open the menu of the Home app and select the camera that is now pending to be added. It will ask for the setup code which you find in the bridge setting

Thanks for your prompt response. Unfortunately I don’t have any pending accessory available in my home menu. I have also tried re-install / uninstall the plugin several times, incl. tweaks to the settings but no joy.

Open the Home app, select "Add Accessory", then "More options...". You will find the camera nearby and ready to be added.
