#### RTSP and HTTP camera stream server

This is an streamer feed from

* an Video4Linux device that support H264, HEVC, JPEG, VP8 or VP9 capture.
* an ALSA device that support PCM S16\_BE, S16\_LE, S32\_BE or S32\_LE

The RTSP server supports

* RTP/UDP unicast
* RTP/UDP multicast
* RTP/TCP
* RTP/RTSP/HTTP

The HTTP server supports (available using -S option for capture format that
could be muxed in Transport Stream)

* HLS
* MPEG-DASH

To give the snap access to camera and audio capturing, use the following commands

`sudo snap connect v4l2rtspserver:camera`

`sudo snap connect v4l2rtspserver:alsa`

Now you can start the daemon with

`sudo snap start --enable v4l2rtspserver`

Thre snap also ships a command to be used from CLI in case you do not want to
use the server, this command is called v4l2rtspserver.manual
