[Camera Support]: Dahua IPC-K9DCP-3T0WE

Describe the problem you are having

Hey team, apologies if I'm knocking the wrong door, I'm just getting started with IP camera!

After reading hardware recommendation, I wrongly assumed that Dahua was good vendor to go with and with my specific requirement (no options for PoE/PSU + Wifi), I went with what seem the best option for a battery powered model - in this case commercialised by IMOU

Unfortunately, I realised after the setup that the device doesn't expose a RTSP service, but also doesn't seem to provide much configurable option when it comes to image/event delivery.

I have made some capture and realised that all traffic (MQTT + HTTP POST for clip upload) was made in plain text to IMOU web services (:vomiting_face:), but this allowed me with the help of this tool and that one, I was able to get notified with event + acquire the video stream using Dahua protocol on port 37777.

I'm about to send these potatoes back to Jeff, but before doing so, I thought I'll ask - is frigate supporting/meant to support this kind of exotic protocol? If yes, I could eventually keep them, and lock them out off the WAN at the firewall level

Frigate targets supporting continuously connected cameras exposed via rtsp or sometimes other protocols such as http-flv, mjpeg, etc.

Battery powered / clip upload devices would be quite difficult to make work in most cases
