## What it is
AKStream is a cross-platform, software-defined NVR (network video recorder) management and control platform written in C# on .NET 6, integrating ZLMediaKit as its streaming server. It provides RESTful APIs for GB28181 device push/pull streaming, PTZ control, recording management, and protocol conversion across RTSP/RTMP/HLS/HTTP-FLV/WebSocket-FLV/MP4 and more.

## Use cases
- manage gb28181 cameras and record streams to a self-hosted nvr
- convert rtsp camera streams to hls and http-flv for web playback
- control ptz cameras over gb28181 sip signaling
- cluster multiple zlmediakit streaming servers under one management api
- record and trim/merge audio-video files from ip cameras
- build a custom video surveillance backend with restful apis

## When to choose
- you need a self-hosted, API-driven NVR platform supporting GB28181-2016 devices
- you want cross-platform (Linux/macOS/Windows, x86_64/ARM) streaming with low latency
- you need protocol conversion between RTSP, RTMP, HLS, HTTP-FLV, WebSocket-FLV, and MP4
- you want to manage a cluster of ZLMediaKit instances centrally

## When to avoid
- you need a ready-made frontend UI - AKStream only provides APIs and a demo UI
- you require GB28181 versions other than 2016, which are untested
- you prefer a turnkey commercial NVR with full support rather than an interface platform requiring custom development
