V4 bridged and unbridged modes
Legacy V4 only
V5 does not currently publish accessories or expose per-device bridge/unbridge settings.
V4 could expose selected cameras as external accessories or run the plugin as a Homebridge child bridge. This isolated camera streaming and reduced the effect of a slow accessory on other bridged devices. Pairing and cache-recovery steps were tied to that accessory architecture.
For current Homebridge concepts, use the official child bridge documentation.
