  Description     : interface to Amcrest and Dahua camera HTTP APIs

  This library provides access to the HTTP SDK API exposed by Amcrest cameras
  and related Dahua firmware devices.
  .
  It talks directly to network cameras and network video recorders over their
  HTTP endpoints. It can query device and software information, retrieve
  snapshots, capture audio, record real-time video streams, and send pan, tilt,
  and zoom control commands where the device offers those functions.
  .
  The package also includes command-line and text user interface tools for
  working with configured cameras.

This library is a dependancy of Home Assistant, the Python smart home platform.
I plan to maintain it as part of the Home Assistant team.
