The issue proposes a new source for IP-camera capture using OpenCV, with camera connection details such as IP, credentials, channel, and framerate. Define how the source should connect to cameras and emit captured images into configured pipelines, including support for multiple cameras and processing situations.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

In my current use case I spend a lot of time capturing images from IP cameras and processing those images in pipelines. Think home network security NVR with lots of bells and whistles. It would be nice to have a source where I could supply some simple information about my capture camera (IP, user, pass, channel, framerate, etc) and have Streamz connect to the camera using something like OpenCV and capture those images from the device and then emit them to the configured pipeline. In this manner I could setup complex pipelines for handling numerous different situations.
