OnvifSim is an ONVIF IP camera simulator. It gives you virtual network cameras, fixed and PTZ, that behave like real hardware: every camera answers WS-Discovery and ONVIF on its own port (Device, Media, Media2, PTZ, Imaging), streams RTSP (Motion JPEG and H.264) and takes PTZ commands, AbsoluteMove included. Point ONVIF Device Manager, an NVR or your own client at it, no cameras needed.
The cameras look at a virtual landscape (terrain, trees, houses, roads, people walking their routes) that you edit in the browser, so a PTZ camera really turns and people walk from one camera's view into the next.
The snap runs as a service. Open the editor from the OnvifSim entry in the applications menu, or at http://localhost:8080/, to build the world and place cameras; they appear on ports 8001 and up, RTSP on 8554. The world is kept in /var/snap/onvifsim/common/world.json.
OnvifSim is MIT. The bundled ffmpeg (for the H.264 streams) is a GPL build from BtbN/FFmpeg-Builds. Source and issues: https://github.com/treealarm/OnvifSim

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.
Snaps are discoverable and installable from the Snap Store, an app store with an audience of millions.
Snapd can be installed from Manjaro’s Add/Remove Software application (Pamac), found in the launch menu. From the application, search for snapd, select the result, and click Apply.
Alternatively, snapd can be installed from the command line:
sudo pacman -S snapd
Once installed, the systemd unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled:
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket
To enable classic snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between /var/lib/snapd/snap and /snap:
sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap
Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.
To install OnvifSim, simply use the following command:
sudo snap install onvifsim
Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap.
