I actually just registered here to comment the first time after lurking for years ;) I had the displeasure to upgrade from a broken g3 flex to a g5 flex, and then finding out they cut out the rtsp stream functionality for unknown (probably business) reasons. I dont plan to buy a protect appliance, and frigate should still handle my nvr stuff, so this comment thread comes really handy right now. Is there any possibility for you to publish this proxy to github or similar?

If I'm understanding correctly moonlighter's proxy speaks Ubiquiti's protocol on both ends, "just" altering the video stream along the way. Which is pretty cool but not what you're looking for.

I'd like to make a production-quality version of what you're looking for: acts as an RTSP server, adopts Ubiquiti cameras. As a single-binary thing that you could run anywhere, maybe even on the camera itself. (self-adoption? emancipation, as in "emancipated minor"?) But it'll take me a bit. My RTSP library right now is client-only, so it needs a bit of expansion to do this. Server support is in my TODO list along with several other changes. https://github.com/scottlamb/retina/issues/89
