Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Yes, it would reduce overhead on cameras, instead of spawning multiple connections to them we can spawn one, which will alow older/slower cameras to be used as well as increase in bitrate.

Describe the solution you'd like Reduce the cost of the proxy on resources both camera side, network bandwidth side and proxy side

Additional context With the tee muxer, the audio and video data will be encoded only once. With conventional multiple outputs, multiple encoding operations in parallel are initiated, which can be a very expensive process.
