I connected my Indoor camera to the homekit app, but im not able to disable the camera when im at home. How do i do that? Theres no on / off button in homekit for this camera. When i click on the camera preview, it just takes me to the recordings.

Surely, there must be a way to stop recording when im at home.

Click on the gear icon in the top left corner ( if using your computer), -> recording options, there are a few choices in there that will work.

are there any iPhone shortcuts to disable and enable the camera?
I just tried on my iPhone and couldn't find what you're looking for, probably better to use the Eufy home app perhaps and set from there.

The only reason i want to use the Eufy cam with homekit is the free storage / recordings on icloud, while it costs on Eufy app :)

That's what I do, though you have to set it in the Eufy app, there's a HomeKit setting in there.
