CameraStack
Server.

The software half of a network camera. Point it at your hardware and it handles the whole chain: sensor capture, hardware encode, RTSP streaming, ONVIF services and device management.

How it works

One core.
Focused plugins.

Stop rebuilding the same software stack for every chipset. The differences live in focused vendor plugins; the product you maintain stays one codebase.

CameraStack Server architecture: ONVIF, WS-Discovery and RTSP interfaces into a portable core, which drives vendor adapters through a shared GStreamer porting layer or custom SDK integration, down to each vendor's sensor and SoC.

Start a product

You are building a new camera, encoder or NVR. Start from a working device instead of an empty repo: the whole video path from sensor capture and hardware encode to live RTSP streaming, plus ONVIF and device management, ported to your silicon.

Complete product stack

Complete a product

Your product already works and has its own video pipeline; it just needs a standards-compliant ONVIF interface. The CameraStack protocol layer bolts onto what you already have.

Drop-in interface

Built to travel

Highly
portable.

The hardware-specific surface is deliberately small. A portable core does the standards work, and everything below it is a thin adapter, so a new platform is an integration, not a rewrite.

Core

Portable Go core

ONVIF, WS-Discovery, RTSP streaming and device management live in one portable Go core. The same standards logic runs on every platform, carrying no vendor assumptions.

GStreamer

Shared GStreamer core

On any platform with GStreamer, capture and hardware encode run through a shared GStreamer core. A new board is described rather than rebuilt, so bring-up is a thin adapter over elements you already have.

SDK

Plug in without GStreamer

Where there is no GStreamer, a well-defined producer interface lets a native vendor SDK feed encoded video into the core. The producer is language-agnostic and typically written in C, straight against the vendor SDK.

Reference ports

Platform-
independent.

The core is designed for high portability across disparate platform types; these reference ports are available today, and a proven starting point for the next one.

Evaluate it

Put it on
your bench.

CameraStack Server is in active development ahead of its commercial launch. Evaluation builds are available to teams building real products, and if your chipset is not ported yet, the port can usually be folded into an integration project.
