This plugin does not work with the latest Nest cameras. If you do not see it in the Nest app, then it will not show in this plugin. More info can be found at #440.
Installation
Install this plugin using: npm install -g --unsafe-perm homebridge-nest-cam
By default, libx264 is used as the h264 encoder. If you would like to use a hardware-accelerated encoder instead, refer to the h264 Hardware Encoders Wiki.
Setting up the Config.json
