This project is an attempt to create a peer-to-peer video monitoring system
for Android devices primarily and any other clients implementing the protocol in the future.
Any camera enabled Android device may run as a server (p2pcamera app)
to accept connections from clients (p2pmonitor app for Android) and stream media data to them.
Protocol implies a possibility for clients to control server part requesting available features
and managing the camera parameters as if it was local.
The project contains compile-time annotations.
While source code gets built without errors, you may find unresolved method references during source code overview in Android Studio. VS Code Support for these annotations is integrated into supplied lombok-ext.jar. Check GIT repo for the source code of the lombok extension library
(an evolution of project lombok
