Some lower-end cameras, especially doorbells and intercoms, have broken HTTP streaming implementation that can't open more that 1 connection and "close" the http response, but leave TCP connection open (without sending keep-alive header!). For those, Alarm Server has an alternative streaming implementation. To use it, set `rawTcp: true` in camera's config file.
