Map and Cameras

KestrelOS shows a map with devices, POIs, live sessions (Share live), and ATAK/iTAK positions. Click markers or use Cameras page to view streams.

Map Layers

Devices — Fixed feeds (IPTV, ALPR, CCTV, NVR, etc.) added via API
POIs — Points of interest (admin/leader can edit)
Live sessions — Mobile devices streaming via Share live
CoT (ATAK/iTAK) — Amber markers for connected TAK devices (position only)

Cameras

A camera is either:

A device — Fixed feed with stream URL
A live session — Mobile device streaming via Share live
