Help with Camera Stream

[ghost]

Hi, I'm trying to add a camera node but can't get any info about it.

cameraRTPStreeamManagement is the node, here the characteristics:

SupportedVideoStreamConfiguration, 
SupportedAudioStreamConfiguration, 
SupportedRTPConfiguration, 
SelectedRTPStreamConfiguration, 
StreamingStatus, 
SetupEndpoints, 
Name

just pointing to some documentation/examples could be very helpful

Just read through some documentation (IP-Camera and Camera.js) quickly and it seems that cameras aren't that easy to handle.
For starters, the whole concept of these nodes is to handle everything as bridged accesories. From the first link:

Please notice that due to protocol limitation, it's not possible to expose multiple cameras via a single HAP Endpoint. Trying to add a camera to a bridged accessory may result unexpected behavior.

Also, I don't know if it's easily possible to add camera functionality in a generic way which can be easily handled by the user in node-red.
My guess is that depending on every single camera model, custom code has to be written.
I'd suggest to go with homebridge or implement something directly on top of HAP-NodeJS for your use case...

Nevertheless, I have opened issue #16 as a reminder and maybe as an entry point for discussion regarding this feature.
