Best way of integrating Axis cameras in a Linux based control system or application?

[MarcoHess]

I am completely new to Axis cameras and how to use them so excuse me if I am completely naive.

We are developing a security checkpoint control system in which we want to use some cameras to check on the status of the checkpoint (e.g. person present or not) and various other states for which we plan to use AI vision that is to trigger MQTT messages.

Our control system is whole Linux based and developed in C++. I have seen some references to Windows SDK's but is there some suggested way to do this from Linux as well? We are going to need some way of showing video streams in our control workstation displays.

Answers to your questions will most often come from the community, from developers like yourself.

If your question remains unanswered for a period of time, please revisit it to see whether it can be improved by following the guidelines listed in Axis support guidelines.

You can use rtsp for Video and Meta Data since you are using c++ just use gstreamer for getting Video and Meta Data :)
