Project Description

To put it simple, the goal of this project is to be able to publish any gstreamer input pipeline as a valid and discoverable ONVIF Camera device (i.e implementing profile S and maybe T).

ONVIF IP cameras, while not expansive are not easy to emulate using free and open-source software. This project aims to change that and allow anyone to make its own ONVIF compliant camera from commodity hardware (who said Raspberry Pi ?), or simply simulate a full software IP camera.

The project shall be either in Rust or Golang (to be defined)

Goal for this Hackweek

Here are the main goals for this HackWeek:

• Bootstrap the project
• Implement minimal mandatory requirements of profile S as read-only (sections 7.2, 7.3, 7.8, 7.9)
• Take input from at least libcamera and test gstreamer pipelines

Bonus goals:

• Implement full mandatory requirements of profile S
• Implement mandatory requirements from profile T
