tuya-ipc-p2p-sdk: Python camera client for Tuya’s P2P protocol

tuya-ipc-p2p-sdk implements a Python client for Tuya IPC cameras’ native P2P video protocol. It logs in through the mobile gateway, exchanges MQTT signaling, connects through a TCP relay with KCP conversations, authenticates a media channel, and decrypts and reassembles MJPEG frames. The implementation draws on a byte-level protocol reference in the author’s companion Go client.
