Hi,
Thank you for the great work on cameleon. I need to connect to some industrial cameras that only support GigE. It's more than two years since this GigE issue was opened, how is it looking? Is this issue dead, or is there a light at the end of the tunnel?

Hi,
I also need GigE support, was thinking to start working on it myself. Is anyone else doing the same?

Also chiming in that I'd like to contribute GigE support to this library. Would love to chat with a maintainer on what approach they'd like to see taken.

I'm sorry for the late response.

I really appreciate your help.
I don't have access to a GigE camera, and thus, the implementation has stopped. If you could implement it on my behalf, that would be very helpful, and I could also assist with your implementation.

Or, if you could kindly donate or lend a GigE camera to me, I could start the implementation myself. In that case, I believe I could finish the implementation in about two weeks(Either way, I might need to decide to buy a GigE camera by myself to continue cameleon dev, though).

@Y-Nak, if still required, we could provide GigEVision devices to support your development.

Oh! Thank you! It'd be really helpful. Would you mind contacting me via email(yurayura.rounin.3@gmail.com) so that I can share my address? Again, thank you for your help!

Just jumping in here to add that I've got two GigE cameras from LUCID and am happy to help with implementation! Anyone else currently exploring this and open to collaboration?

Also have a Lucid camera, was planning to play around and get at least a proof of concept example working. Not sure how to avoid double work here though, I'm not in a hurry and might as well wait a bit for a common direction.

To get the corner cases working I would recommend to start with the arvis camera simulator.
It can drop packets...

Or for a real device add a test layer under the protocol layer to drop and modify incoming packets.
