Video Capture

The Video Capture service reads video streams and files and saves video packets to Kafka. The input streams can arrive from both the network and file systems. A single instance of this service can serve multiple streams and save each of them to separate Kafka topics. The format of output messages is the proprietary Ultinous Packet Wrapper (upw) format, which can be read and analyzed by the Multi-Graph Runner (MGR).

The Video Capture microservice is configured by .json configuration files. For further details on the configuration, see Configuring Video Capture.
