Process overview

To start streaming, the following actions need to be taken:

• The user installs the app containing the SDK on their phone
• The app gets the camera credentials and sends this to the partner’s backend.
• Partner’s backend registers camera with Cameramanager backend
• Partner’s backend reports back to app that camera has registered
• App starts streaming
• App stops streaming

Below, a few more details on some of these steps:

Getting the credentials to register the camera with the CameraManager backend

Registering a camera with the CameraManager backend

This also adds it to a defined zone, so if there is no zone yet in the account, it needs to be created beforehand using the TODO: INSERT LINK TO ZONE API HERE API.
Add a camera to your zone in backend using the zone ID, hardware ID, username and password using the TODO: INSERT LINK TO CAMERA API HERE API. The "deviceTypeId" field should be set to “10031”.

Keep the following in mind:

• Keep information about user and hardware ID in the backend
• A Hardware ID can be added only to one account
• If the user changes the hardware ID (for example: uninstall and install the app) you need to remove the camera in the backend too.
