About the Team
The Server Integration team is responsible for a large part of the server-side development — camera integration and support. We work with a wide variety of camera manufacturers, each using different protocols (IP-based, TCP/UDP, HTTP, SOAP, ONVIF, and various proprietary text and binary protocols).
The integration team investigates and supports these protocols, often performing reverse engineering. A significant part of the work involves debugging issues on local and remote devices using tools like Wireshark.
Our software runs on a wide range of hardware and operating systems. We build efficient, portable solutions using modern C++ (C++20/23), along with CMake, Conan, and Git.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Examine various camera APIs and develop plugins for different vendors
- Add support for new cameras and devices (NVRs, DVRs, intercoms, IP speakers, etc.)
- Implement support for new camera features and capabilities
- Maintain and improve camera support on the server side
- Collaborate with the core server team to enhance camera-server interaction
- Investigate Wireshark logs and server logs to diagnose and resolve issues reported by technical support
- Troubleshoot complex problems, including server crashes and device-specific issues
- Interact with device manufacturers to improve and stabilize integrations
- Refactor existing code and increase unit and functional test coverage
- Participate in code reviews
- Assist the Support team in analyzing complex field issues
Domain / Areas of Work
