visionLabs Roku

visionLabs Roku is a private Roku app scaffold for viewing home security cameras on a TV.

Product direction

• Brand family follows the user's existing Labs naming pattern.
• V1 uses a static packaged camera configuration.
• V2 adds in-app camera and layout editing.
• V3 moves camera metadata and layout persistence to a backend service.

Technical direction

• Roku SceneGraph app
• Camera feeds delivered as HLS where possible
• Static JSON config for the first prototype
• Future backend for editing, persistence, and auth

Project layout

• manifest - Roku channel metadata
• source/main.brs - app entry point
• components/MainScene.xml - initial SceneGraph UI
• components/MainScene.brs - scene behavior
• config/cameras.json - static sample camera config
• docs/ROADMAP.md - delivery phases and constraints

Notes

Roku is not a great target for raw RTSP feeds. The clean path is to expose camera streams as HLS, either directly from the NVR or through a relay/transcoder layer.

Next steps

1. Replace sample camera URLs in config/cameras.json
2. Load config into the UI
3. Render a static multi-camera grid
4. Add edit mode and persistence strategy
