Integrate Camect with home-assistant

======================================

The Camect Smart Camera Hub is an advanced network video recorder that uses AI (Artificial Intelligence), private local video storage, and secure remote access to the networked security cameras in your home. It plugs into your home network and provides 24×7 recording, viewing from your home network, and AI-powered smart alert detection and review via the app. You can learn more about camect at camect.com.

Configure

Please follow the following instructions:

• Copy file "camect-card.js" to $ha_config_dir/www.

    username: admin
    password: admin_PASSWORD
    camera_ids: YOUR_CAMERA_IDS_SEPARATED_BY_COMMA
    id: (optional)    // provide this if you have multiple Camect devices so you could
                      // tell which camera is from which Camect device.

One of our users created these two repos here and here to use Camect from HACS.

We haven't got time to test them though.
