Added a Security Spy Camera... Now What?

I added a camera through the Security Spy plugin, then added it to Homekit Bridge. Should I see a new accessory somewhere, because I'm not. Is this something that will display video from the camera if it's set up correctly?

Cameras won't appear in HomeKit by themselves, you will need to add an accessory and your camera(s) should be listed as new accessories you can add.

I just tried it (making same mistake), but now I’m kinda amazed how easy it was to get my cans into HomeKit. Bravo

I just added my 5 cameras from Security Spy. and I have them all added to Home. All of them give me an error. (nopicture) Any specific settings I should be using in Security Spy. I can see all the cameras. One is a Foscam and the others Axis.
Fro the Axis Cameras I have tried
1.MPEG-4 RTSP over HTTP
2. MPEG-4 RTSP
3. JPEG HTTP

For Foscam:
1. RTSP TCP
2. RTSP UDP
3. RTSP over HTTP


All settings give me an error and no picture

When I add my Security Spy cameras from Add Accessory it is asking me for a code?
