Not what I expected but okay. Looks like there's a `set-inform` command. It looks like it opens a TLS connection, doesn't check the certificate, and tries to opens a websocket:

    GET /camera/1.0/ws HTTP/1.1
    Pragma: no-cache
    Cache-Control: no-cache
    Host: ...
    Origin: http://ws_camera_proto_secure_transfer
    Upgrade: websocket
    Connection: close, Upgrade
    Sec-WebSocket-Key: ...
    Sec-WebSocket-Protocol: secure_transfer
    Sec-WebSocket-Version: 13
    Camera-MAC: ...
    Camera-IP: ...
    Camera-Model: 0xa601
    Camera-Firmware: 5.0.83
    Device-ID: ...
    Adopted: false
    x-guid: be9d8e45-62a8-ae84-8b23-71723c7decaf

I might try accepting the websocket but I have a feeling I'll get stuck about there without knowing what the server is supposed to send over it. I'm debating if I'm willing to buy a Unifi Protect device or not.

...then again I did a search for a couple strings and ran across https://github.com/keshavdv/unifi-cam-proxy . It's the opposite direction of what I want (makes a standard camera work with Unifi Protect) but maybe contains the protocol details I'm looking for...
