HLS Stream Support

Hey Ben and team,

A few years ago there was an interesting post about HLS streams and SecuritySpy. Has there been any investigation/development on this? It'd be a pretty great way to get some of those low cost, very popular (headache inducing) cameras we've come to love and hate (looking at you, Wyze).

    I think there simply isn't enough demand for this in SecuritySpy I'm afraid. All proper CCTV cameras use RTSP, which is suitable for the task of transmitting real-time video/audio data. HLS simply isn't designed for this: when you use it for live video, you can't really get the latency below 10s, which makes it quite unsuitable for CCTV applications.

    Makes sense and I totally agree. Thanks for the update!
