INTELLIVISION CAMERA BRIDGE — WINDOWS
=====================================

What it does
------------
Connects IntelliVision to cameras that stay on your shop network:

1. Existing ONVIF / RTSP IP cameras
2. Existing DVR or NVR recorder channels
3. Cameras and complete recorder systems supplied by IntelliVision / IVOPS

The bridge verifies a real frame before a source shows ONLINE. Standard
cameras produce local MOTION evidence only. Person or object detection is
reported only when a certified IntelliVision Vision kit provides it.

First setup
-----------
1. Run "IntelliVision Camera Bridge.exe".
2. If the media-engine badge is red, press "Install media engine". Windows
   Package Manager will show and install FFmpeg under its own licence.
3. Press "Find on network" for ONVIF cameras or "Add camera / NVR" if your
   recorder supplier gave you RTSP addresses.
4. Select each source and press "Test picture". A real picture must appear.
5. Press "Start camera bridge".
6. Copy the pairing address and pairing code into IntelliVision > Vision.

Existing NVR / DVR
------------------
The bridge supports ONVIF recorders and direct RTSP channel addresses. Common
Hikvision, Dahua and Uniview sub-stream templates are included. Recorder models
differ, so Test picture is the final proof for every channel.

Privacy and credentials
-----------------------
- Camera usernames and passwords are encrypted with Windows DPAPI for the
  signed-in Windows user.
- Passwords and stream addresses are not written to application logs.
- Events and snapshots remain on the shop device and are requested directly
  by the paired IntelliVision till over the local network.
- Put up camera signage and follow the privacy law for your region.
- Use a separate camera network/VLAN where practical.

Windows Firewall
----------------
If Windows asks, allow this app on PRIVATE networks only. The default pairing
port is 8090. Do not expose that port to the public internet.

Support boundary
----------------
This release is built and self-tested for Windows x64. It is not yet
code-signed, and physical-camera compatibility still depends on each camera or
recorder's ONVIF/RTSP implementation. Always use Test picture before relying on
a source.
