Rearviewsion CameraWebServer needs revisions

[truedat101]

• Fork the code here
• Add bonjour advertisement
• Add control panel hidden at launch with camera buttons for streaming / clip in control area
• API possible to grab still frames, toggle settings, turn on / off , check battery level

So looking through software options, there are a bunch of decisions to make:

• how to manage the network
• is it advertising at boot up?
• starting IP address if it does run its own infrastructure
• AI or not to AI
• resolution
• other settings

It seems like version of FW that is on the M5CameraX / CamS3 is running an API gateway of some kind, which is perfect for building a custom native UI in Swift. I need to think about the user management of the connection and how to get started quickly. Since hardware is all very similar with hardware build quality varying, add ons, it is important to first get a single platform build going. CamS3 is pretty cool.

Once a final build is done, push it into OpenWR and can worry about adding additional features there for timeserver integration or other stuff that is more product specific. I think I will worry about variants for different hardware via branches and will do this on the OpenWR side.

Not totally thrilled with the fork that was done a few years back
