HomeKit Secure Video

Dear AlexxIT, thank you a lot for this wonderful project!
This is really a dream come true to enable interoperability to all those different cameras, and it's all free.

When it comes to my use case, I have a bunch of old YI dome cameras, and just recently bought a TPLink Tapo.
While great on paper, Tapo is so slow if I want to add it to HomeKit, as well as to any NVR (Synology DSM, Frigate).
In future, I'd like to also purchase some outdoor cameras, and my hope is that I can integrate all of them into a unified setup:

• PTZ (only via ONVIF, and only if that profile is supported)
• Frigate via RTSP for object detection, primary NVR, integration with Home Assistant - this is possible now
• HomeKit Secure Video - this is not possible without something like Homebridge, which will again do its own re-encoding via ffmpeg.
• Unifi Protect via ONVIF with PTZ - I saw How to configure go2rtc as a ONVIF _server_? #1036, and understand that most likely this won't be available in go2rtc. I also understand that Unifi right now doesn't support PTZ on third party cameras.
• Disable the internet access for all the cameras, and rely on those services above

Are there any plans to add support for HomeKit Secure Video natively?

I'm not a fan of the Apple ecosystem. I don't even have a device that can act as an Apple smart home hub. So the task is far from a priority.
