Adding essential indoor camera to HomeKit?

How do I add a new essential indoor camera to HomeKit. I have a base station and Carlo 4k camera already set up. Most companies include a QR code however I do not see that anywhere on the indoor camera or packaging.

Is the essential camera connected via the base station?

Never mind, bought two eufy camera for inside the house. They’re way better, no delay at all, instant notifications, and straight into HomeKit. Highly recommended them.
