Earlier quoted context omitted.

When embedded SoCs are _much_ more likely to have AES accelerators, why are you looking to ChaCha20 for encrypting video?

RSIC-V based are probably the most widely available microcontrollers / dev boards, but they unfortunately don't have AES accelerators. On the other hand, ChaCha20 (or ChaCha12) run great on them.

I don't follow. I haven't done an exhaustive search, but it seems all esp32, whether xtensa or riscv have AES accelerators. Not sure I've seen a modern 32 bit Arm MCU without it either.

Do you have plans to add smart features like pet detection, etc.?

Our on-device AI is able to detect people, pets, and vehicles. We have tested people detection and it works well. We haven't really tested the other two.
