This module is developed from USB-to-RTSP sample and ms-iotkithol-jp to be able to run on IoT Edge.

The module runs as a IoT Edge container named RtspWebCam. While running the container image, one must map the USB camera on the host device to the container by using the following module createOptions parameters: PathOnHost=/dev/video0, PathInContainer=/dev/video0.

Before running the IoT Edge container image, the host device must have the USB camera installed properly and operating. On the host device, check that the following file exists: /dev/video0.

If there exist more than one USB camera installed on the host device, these devices will be named as /dev/video0, /dev/video1, etc.

This module can be used with the Azure cloud native application WeDX Flow to simplify module management.

Minimum hardware requirements: Linux x64, arm64 and arm32 OS, 1GB of RAM, 600Mb of storage
