Support for Security Camera System via NVR - ESeeCloud/dvr163

@BTCanada I was able to implement the script into a plugin so that home assistant exposed the proxy but the video is in a format that doesn’t play on the web UI even with the ffmpeg component. It consumes over 50% CPU and provides a broken video, it does not look promising. This is the ffmpeg config:

ffmpeg: 

camera: 
 - platform: ffmpeg
   name: Test cam
   input: -rtsp_transport tcp -i http://localhost:8080/test

The one up-side is the proxy DOES allow for ffplay to read the stream, so as long as HA and the port are available you could do ffplay <url:port>. This proxy is not as resource intensive as it doesn’t use ffmpeg.
