iOS 15.5 was released. Apple changed the Home app connection behavior on iOS devices (but not Mac for some reason) to always route accessory bridge (like Scrypted) connections through the active Home Hub, even when the iOS device is on the same network. This means, all video streams from Scrypted to HomeKit route data through your Home Hubs before going to the iOS Home app.

After extensive testing, I've found that the same Scrypted cameras in Accessory Mode retain their original behavior: the iOS Home app will connect to them directly, providing snappy and stable streams. Users are encouraged to migrate to Accessory Mode ASAP. This will become the new default soon.
Another benefit of running cameras in Accessory Mode is that the Rebroadcast plugin and Home app will send you notifications if the camera stream goes offline.
