Description

This is a simple Virtual Onvif Server that was originally developed to work around limitations in the third party support of Unifi Protect. It takes an existing RTSP Stream and builds a virtual Onvif device for it, so the stream can be consumed by Onvif compatible clients (such as Unifi Protect 5.0). This allows for centralisation of security cameras within a single management layer, and each server is 1-to-1 to a camera requiring multiple repeat installs, so having this via a helper script would greatly accelerate migrating legacy cameras into a modern platform.

The script also includes a Docker setup for simplicity; https://github.com/daniela-hase/onvif-server?tab=readme-ov-file#docker
