Develop an adapter that converts an RTSP stream from a standard CCTV camera to a participant in the video conference of webrtcgateway application.

This will allow to use of cheap CCTV cameras for adding non-human/surrogate participants to conference rooms (like views to musical instruments) or surveillance cameras from a home. Together with auto-answer function this can make SylkServer much more usable for scenarios between humans and surrogates like home appliances or interactive sessions for musical lessons, to name a few cases.

This should be done as easy as possible to hide the complexity of such setup for end-users, perhaps with the use of a mobile app.

Such adapter can run on a remote Linux machine (like a raspberry unit) or perhaps on SylkServer itself. For example, a video-room can be set in such way that when a user joins a certain room, automatically outgoing connections to RTSP urls are created by the server itself. When all humans leave such room, these automatic connections can be teared down.
