Yeap, I would like maybe first to migrate to another development language. Might be C or Rust. I have already made a proof of concept working (in C) in command line for Linux for Dahua and HIK Vision.

Good job pal.

Rust would be a good choice.

Thanks for the sarcasm, for the sake of others, I've managed to use mono to run it on Ubuntu, works pretty good.

Misunderstanding, there is no sarcasm, I am really working on this topic and really think about porting this to C or Rust.

Great! Feel free to share any tips you found to make it works.

For now, I have done this piece of code, I share with you if it can help you also: https://github.com/julienblitte/uscan

I made some progress on this, I will update you.

Thanks for the answer, Iv'e tried uscan, looks good!, as i see there's still a big difference in the vendor support list between the versions, am i right?

Yes, I have put in the readme the list of missing protocol compared to this C# program, as a to-do-list / reminder and there is still a lot to do.

But I am still not sure to finish this, if I switch to Rust meanwhile...

Next protocols to port would be probably mDNS and GigEVision as they are generic protocols.
