Are you aware of this PR? After reading the discussion there I guess it might make more sense to join forces there than to fix issues in the seaside repo.

This binding integrates Ubiquiti UniFi Protect into openHAB. It connects to your… Protect NVR/CloudKey/UNVR and provides live events and configurable settings for Cameras, Floodlights, and Sensors.
It uses the official Protect Integration API locally over HTTPS and WebSockets
Features
- Supports multiple Protect devices (Cameras, Floodlights, Sensors)
- Uses the official Protect Integration API locally to a UniFi Protect NVR/CloudKey/UNVR
- Has granular triggers and channels for realtime motion events including AI object detection, audio, and line crossing events.
- Uses websockets for realtime updates without polling
- Supports [WebRTC streaming](https://github.com/digitaldan/openhab-addons/tree/unifi-protect/bundles/org.openhab.binding.unifiprotect#real-time-media) for cameras with very low server CPU overhead
- Supports [2-way audio](https://github.com/digitaldan/openhab-addons/tree/unifi-protect/bundles/org.openhab.binding.unifiprotect#talkback-support-2-way-audio) for cameras that support it
- Uses STUN for external access to cameras when outside your local network (e.g. when using the openHAB cloud service)
- Provides general purpose image snapshot API endpoints for cameras
I know there is another protect binding in the marketplace, and i did first try and modify that, but after a day it became very obvious i would end up rewriting most of it completely to fit the official API. Also that binding has not been updated in almost a year.
I'm opening this PR up early to get some feedback from other protect users, will mark as WIP until ready for review.
Also See https://github.com/openhab/openhab-webui/pull/3368 for updates to our video widget to support 2-way audio (can be merged independent of this)
