### Performance:
- Camera feeds: Use WebRTC for low latency
- Lazy load video streams (only when widget visible)
- Cache device status (update every 5-30s)
- Use WebSockets for real-time updates

### User Experience:
- Visual feedback on all actions
- Loading states for network calls
- Error handling with retry logic
- Offline mode indicators
