  • node-webrtc

    node-webrtc is a Node.js Native Addon that provides bindings to WebRTC M94 (by WonderInventions)

    • Opened an issue. No pr as I don't know what the actual status for support is.

  • werift-webrtc

    WebRTC Implementation for TypeScript (Node.js), includes ICE/DTLS/SCTP/RTP/SRTP/WEBM/MP4

    • There's a native implementation that requires no binaries here: https://github.com/shinyoshiaki/werift-webrtc

    Maybe I'm missing something but how is this one preferable?

  • homebridge-google-nest-sdm

    A Homebridge plugin for Google Nest devices that uses the Google Smart Device Management API. Supports Cameras, Doorbells, Displays, and Thermostats. Includes support for HomeKit Secure Video.

    • I maintain a Homebridge (community built system to bridge IoT devices to Apple HomeKit) plugin for Google Nest devices. The newer Nest cams use WebRTC for video streaming. This makes viewing the cameras in Apple Home a bit complex, as the bridge must setup and connect to a WebRTC stream, transcode it, and then send it out to your iPhone etc. as an RTSP stream.

    Since this is for home automation the system runs on all kinds of weird devices, from RPi's to NAS's to old laptops etc. When I tried to use anything requiring platform specific binaries it was a complete mess, most of the time things would not build.

    The problem may not be insurmountable if you're being paid, but since this is just done in my spare time it's not something I wanted to deal with.
