This looks great! Question on the API/CLI - is there any provision for capturing frames (or even streams?) from Homekit cameras, or even triggering events or webhooks based on the cameras detecting motion?

The camera streams are HLS via AVFoundation – Apple doesn't expose raw frames, so no programmatic capture there. But motion detection events do flow through the SSE endpoint (/events), so you can use those to trigger webhooks or automations. For HA cameras there's also a snapshot endpoint you can hit on demand, e.g. when motion fires.

SSE is in the upcoming 2.0.0 which is currently on TestFlight – happy to add you if you want to try it out.
