+# Quick Start Guide - GeViScope Configuration Reader
+
+## What Was Created
+
+A complete C# solution that reads GeViScope configuration from the server and exports it to JSON - **no binary .set file parsing needed!**
+
+### Files Created
+
+```
+C:\DEV\COPILOT\geutebruck-api\GeViScopeConfigReader\
+├── GeViScopeConfigReader.csproj  - Project file
+├── Program.cs                     - Main application code
+├── README.md                      - Detailed documentation
+└── QUICK_START.md                 - This file
+```
+
+## How It Works
+
+Instead of parsing the binary `.set` files, this tool:
+
+1. **Connects** to the GeViScope server using the official SDK
+2. **Reads** the configuration registry (like Windows Registry)
+3. **Converts** the tree structure to JSON
+4. **Exports** to a human-readable file
+
+## Building the Project
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+Install one of these:
+- **Option A**: Visual Studio 2019/2022 with .NET desktop development
+- **Option B**: .NET SDK 6.0+ with .NET Framework 4.8 targeting pack
+
+### Build Steps
+
+**Using Visual Studio:**
+1. Install Visual Studio if not already installed
+2. Open solution: `C:\DEV\COPILOT\geutebruck-api\geutebruck-api.sln`
+3. Right-click `GeViScopeConfigReader` project → Build
+
+**Using Command Line:**
+```bash
+# Install .NET SDK first if needed
+cd C:\DEV\COPILOT\geutebruck-api\GeViScopeConfigReader
+dotnet build
+```
+
+Or use MSBuild:
+```bash
+"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\MSBuild\Current\Bin\MSBuild.exe" GeViScopeConfigReader.csproj
+```
+
+## Running the Tool
+
+### Step 1: Start GeViScope Server
+
+```bash
+cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\GeViScopeSDK\BIN"
+GSCServer.exe
+```
+
+Leave this running in the background.
+
+### Step 2: Run the Configuration Reader
+
+```bash
+cd C:\DEV\COPILOT\geutebruck-api\GeViScopeConfigReader\bin\Debug\net48
+GeViScopeConfigReader.exe
+```
+
+Or with custom settings:
+```bash
+GeViScopeConfigReader.exe <server> <user> <password> <output.json>
+```
+
+### Step 3: View the JSON Output
+
+Open `geviScope_config.json` in any text editor. You'll see:
+
+```json
+{
+  "System": {
+    "MediaChannels": {
+      "0000": {
+        "Name": "Camera 1",
+        "Enabled": true,
+        "GlobalNumber": 1
+      }
+    },
+    "Users": {
+      "SysAdmin": {
+        "Name": "System Administrator",
+        "Password": "abe6db4c9f5484fae8d79f2e868a673c",
+        "Enabled": true
+      },
+      "aa": {
+        "Name": "aa",
+        "Password": "aabbccddeeffgghhaabbccddeeffgghh",
+        "Enabled": true
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Why This Is Better Than Parsing .set Files
+
+| Aspect | .set File Parsing | SDK Approach |
+|--------|------------------|--------------|
+| **Complexity** | Very high (binary format) | Low (documented API) |
+| **Reliability** | Fragile | Robust |
+| **Documentation** | None (proprietary) | Full SDK docs |
+| **Format** | Binary blob | Structured tree |
+| **Output** | Partial data | Complete config |
+| **Updates** | Easy to break | Version stable |
+
+## Example: Reading Specific Configuration
+
+Once you have the JSON, you can easily extract what you need:
+
+```csharp
+using Newtonsoft.Json.Linq;
+
+// Load the exported configuration
+var config = JObject.Parse(File.ReadAllText("geviScope_config.json"));
+
+// Get all users
+var users = config["System"]["Users"];
+foreach (var user in users)
+{
+    string username = user.Path.Split('.').Last();
+    string name = (string)user["Name"];
+    string password = (string)user["Password"];
+    bool enabled = (bool)user["Enabled"];
+
+    Console.WriteLine($"User: {username}");
+    Console.WriteLine($"  Name: {name}");
+    Console.WriteLine($"  Password Hash: {password}");
+    Console.WriteLine($"  Enabled: {enabled}");
+    Console.WriteLine();
+}
+
+// Get all cameras
+var cameras = config["System"]["MediaChannels"];
+foreach (var camera in cameras)
+{
+    string cameraId = camera.Path.Split('.').Last();
+    string name = (string)camera["Name"];
+    int globalNum = (int)camera["GlobalNumber"];
+
+    Console.WriteLine($"Camera [{globalNum}]: {name} (ID: {cameraId})");
+}
+```
+
+## Modifying Configuration
+
+To write changes back to the server, use the SDK:
+
+```csharp
+using Geutebruck.GeViScope.GscDBI;
+
+// 1. Connect to server
+GscServer server = new GscServer();
+server.Connect("localhost", "sysadmin", "masterkey", null, null);
+
+// 2. Create registry accessor
+GscRegistry registry = server.CreateRegistry();
+
+// 3. Read current config
+GscRegistryReadRequest[] readReq = new GscRegistryReadRequest[1];
+readReq[0] = new GscRegistryReadRequest("/System/Users/aa", 0);
+registry.ReadNodes(readReq, null, null);
+
+// 4. Modify a value
+GscRegNode userNode = registry.FindNode("/System/Users/aa");
+userNode.WriteBoolean("Enabled", false);  // Disable user
+
+// 5. Save to server
+GscRegistryWriteRequest[] writeReq = new GscRegistryWriteRequest[1];
+writeReq[0] = new GscRegistryWriteRequest("/System/Users/aa", 0);
+registry.WriteNodes(writeReq, true);  // true = permanent save
+
+Console.WriteLine("User 'aa' has been disabled!");
+
+// 6. Cleanup
+registry.Destroy();
+server.Destroy();
+```
+
+## Real-World Use Cases
+
+### 1. Backup All Configuration
+```bash
+GeViScopeConfigReader.exe localhost sysadmin masterkey backup_$(date +%Y%m%d).json
+```
+
+### 2. Compare Configurations
+```bash
+# Export from two servers
+GeViScopeConfigReader.exe server1 admin pass server1_config.json
+GeViScopeConfigReader.exe server2 admin pass server2_config.json
+
+# Use any JSON diff tool
+code --diff server1_config.json server2_config.json
+```
+
+### 3. Bulk User Management
+```csharp
+// Read config
+var config = ReadConfiguration();
+
+// Disable all users except sysadmin
+foreach (var userNode in GetUserNodes(registry))
+{
+    if (userNode.Name != "SysAdmin")
+    {
+        userNode.WriteBoolean("Enabled", false);
+    }
+}
+
+// Save
+SaveConfiguration();
+```
+
+### 4. Configuration as Code
+```csharp
+// Define desired configuration in code
+var desiredConfig = new {
+    Users = new[] {
+        new { Name = "operator1", Enabled = true },
+        new { Name = "operator2", Enabled = true }
+    },
+    Cameras = new[] {
+        new { GlobalNumber = 1, Name = "Entrance" },
+        new { GlobalNumber = 2, Name = "Parking Lot" }
+    }
+};
+
+// Apply to server
+ApplyConfiguration(desiredConfig);
+```
+
+## Next Steps
+
+1. **Build the project** using Visual Studio or dotnet CLI
+2. **Run against your server** to export configuration
+3. **Examine the JSON** to understand the structure
+4. **Modify the code** to add your specific features
+
+## GeViSoft Alternative
+
+For GeViSoft configuration, you can:
+
+**Option A**: Access the database directly (it's Microsoft Access format)
+```csharp
+using System.Data.OleDb;
+
+string connStr = @"Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=C:\GEVISOFT\DATABASE\GeViDB.mdb";
+using (var conn = new OleDbConnection(connStr))
+{
+    conn.Open();
+
+    var cmd = new OleDbCommand("SELECT * FROM [Users]", conn);
+    using (var reader = cmd.ExecuteReader())
+    {
+        while (reader.Read())
+        {
+            Console.WriteLine($"User: {reader["Username"]}");
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+**Option B**: Use the GeViAPI (similar to GeViScope)
+```csharp
+using GeViAPI_Namespace;
+
+GeViAPIClient client = new GeViAPIClient(
+    "MyServer", "127.0.0.1", "sysadmin", password, null, null);
+
+client.Connect(progressCallback, this);
+// Use SendQuery methods to read/write configuration
+```
+

+# GeViScope Configuration Reader
+
+A C# console application that reads configuration from a GeViScope server and exports it to JSON format.
+
+## Features
+
+- ✅ Connects to GeViScope server using the official SDK
+- ✅ Reads entire configuration tree from server
+- ✅ Exports configuration to human-readable JSON
+- ✅ Shows summary of media channels and users
+- ✅ No binary file parsing required!
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Windows (x86/x64)
+- .NET Framework 4.8 or later
+- GeViScope SDK installed (included DLLs in project)
+- GeViScope server running (can be local or remote)
+
+## Usage
+
+### Basic Usage (Local Server)
+
+```bash
+GeViScopeConfigReader.exe
+```
+
+Default connection:
+- Server: `localhost`
+- Username: `sysadmin`
+- Password: `masterkey`
+- Output: `geviScope_config.json`
+
+### Custom Server
+
+```bash
+GeViScopeConfigReader.exe <hostname> <username> <password> <output-file>
+```
+
+Example:
+```bash
+GeViScopeConfigReader.exe 192.168.1.100 admin mypassword my_config.json
+```
+
+## Output Format
+
+The tool exports configuration to JSON in a hierarchical structure:
+
+```json
+{
+  "System": {
+    "MediaChannels": {
+      "0000": {
+        "Name": "Camera 1",
+        "Enabled": true,
+        "GlobalNumber": 1,
+        "VideoFormat": "H.264"
+      }
+    },
+    "Users": {
+      "SysAdmin": {
+        "Name": "System Administrator",
+        "Enabled": true,
+        "Password": "abe6db4c9f5484fae8d79f2e868a673c"
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Building
+
+```bash
+cd C:\DEV\COPILOT\geutebruck-api\GeViScopeConfigReader
+dotnet build
+```
+
+Or open in Visual Studio and build.
+
+## What This Solves
+
+**Problem**: The `.set` configuration files are in a proprietary binary format that's difficult to parse.
+
+**Solution**: Use the GeViScope SDK to read configuration directly from the server in a structured format, then export to JSON.
+
+**Benefits**:
+- No reverse-engineering needed
+- Official supported API
+- Human-readable output
+- Easy to modify and use programmatically
+
+## Example: Reading User Information
+
+The exported JSON makes it easy to access configuration:
+
+```csharp
+var config = JObject.Parse(File.ReadAllText("geviScope_config.json"));
+
+// Get all users
+var users = config["System"]["Users"];
+
+foreach (var user in users)
+{
+    Console.WriteLine($"User: {user["Name"]}");
+    Console.WriteLine($"Enabled: {user["Enabled"]}");
+}
+```
+
+## Modifying Configuration
+
+To write configuration back to the server:
+
+```csharp
+// 1. Read current config
+GscRegistry registry = server.CreateRegistry();
+registry.ReadNodes(...);
+
+// 2. Find node to modify
+GscRegNode userNode = registry.FindNode("/System/Users/MyUser");
+
+// 3. Modify values
+userNode.WriteBoolean("Enabled", false);
+userNode.WriteWideString("Name", "New Name");
+
+// 4. Write back to server
+GscRegistryWriteRequest[] writeRequests = new GscRegistryWriteRequest[1];
+writeRequests[0] = new GscRegistryWriteRequest("/System/Users/MyUser", 0);
+registry.WriteNodes(writeRequests, true);  // true = save permanently
+```
+

+# GeViSoft SDK Integration - Critical Lessons Learned
+
+**Date**: 2025-12-08
+**Source**: GeViSoftConfigReader development session
+**Applies to**: geutebruck-api (001-surveillance-api)
+
+---
+
+## 🚨 Critical Requirements
+
+### 1. **Full GeViSoft Installation Required**
+
+❌ **Installing only SDK is NOT sufficient**
+✅ **Must install GeViSoft FULL application first, then SDK**
+
+**Why**: The SDK libraries depend on runtime components from the full GeViSoft installation.
+
+### 2. **Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable (x86) REQUIRED**
+
+**Critical Dependency**: `vcredist_x86_2010.exe`
+
+**Error without it**:
+```
+FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'GeViProcAPINET_4_0.dll'
+or one of its dependencies. The specified module could not be found.
+```
+
+**Installation**:
+```powershell
+# Download and install
+Invoke-WebRequest -Uri 'https://download.microsoft.com/download/1/6/5/165255E7-1014-4D0A-B094-B6A430A6BFFC/vcredist_x86.exe' -OutFile 'vcredist_x86_2010.exe'
+Start-Process -FilePath 'vcredist_x86_2010.exe' -ArgumentList '/install', '/quiet', '/norestart' -Wait
+```
+
+**Documentation Reference**: GeViScope_SDK.txt lines 689-697
+> "For applications using the .NET-Framework 2.0 the Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package...
+> need to install the Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package."
+
+### 3. **Platform Requirements**
+
+- **Architecture**: x86 (32-bit) REQUIRED
+- **.NET Framework**: 4.0+ (tested with 4.8)
+- **Windows**: Windows 10/11 or Windows Server 2016+
+
+---
+
+## 📚 SDK Architecture
+
+### DLL Dependencies
+
+**GeViProcAPINET_4_0.dll** (Managed .NET wrapper) requires:
+- `GeViProcAPI.dll` (Native C++ core)
+- `GscDBI.dll` (Database interface)
+- `GscActions.dll` (Action system)
+
+**All DLLs must be in application output directory**: `C:\GEVISOFT\`
+
+### Connection Workflow
+
+```csharp
+// 1. Create database object
+var database = new GeViDatabase();
+
+// 2. Initialize connection
+database.Create(hostname, username, password);
+
+// 3. Register callbacks BEFORE connecting
+database.RegisterCallback();
+
+// 4. Connect
+GeViConnectResult result = database.Connect();
+
+// 5. Check result
+if (result != GeViConnectResult.connectOk) {
+    // Handle connection failure
+}
+
+// 6. Perform operations
+// ...
+
+// 7. Cleanup
+database.Disconnect();
+database.Dispose();
+```
+
+**Order matters!** `RegisterCallback()` must be called BEFORE `Connect()`.
+
+---
+
+## 🔌 GeViServer
+
+### Server Must Be Running
+
+**Start server**:
+```cmd
+cd C:\GEVISOFT
+GeViServer.exe console
+```
+
+Or via batch file:
+```cmd
+startserver.bat
+```
+
+### Network Ports
+
+GeViServer listens on:
+- **7700, 7701, 7703** (TCP) - API communication
+- **7777, 7800, 7801, 7803** (TCP) - Additional services
+- **7704** (UDP)
+
+**NOT on port 7707** (common misconception)
+
+### Connection String
+
+Default connection:
+- **Hostname**: `localhost`
+- **Username**: `sysadmin`
+- **Password**: `masterkey` (default, should be changed)
+
+---
+
+## 📊 Query Patterns
+
+### State Queries (Current Configuration)
+
+**Pattern**: GetFirst → GetNext iteration
+
+```csharp
+// Example: Enumerate all video inputs (cameras)
+var query = new CSQGetFirstVideoInput(true, true);
+var answer = database.SendStateQuery(query);
+
+while (answer.AnswerKind != AnswerKind.Nothing) {
+    var videoInput = (CSAVideoInputInfo)answer;
+
+    // Process videoInput
+    // - videoInput.GlobalID
+    // - videoInput.Name
+    // - videoInput.Description
+    // - videoInput.HasPTZHead
+    // - videoInput.HasVideoSensor
+
+    // Get next
+    query = new CSQGetNextVideoInput(true, true, videoInput.GlobalID);
+    answer = database.SendStateQuery(query);
+}
+```
+
+**Queryable Entities**:
+- Video Inputs (cameras)
+- Video Outputs (monitors)
+- Digital Contacts (I/O)
+
+### Database Queries (Historical Data)
+
+```csharp
+// Create query session
+var createQuery = new CDBQCreateActionQuery(0);
+var createAnswer = database.SendDatabaseQuery(createQuery);
+var handle = (CDBAQueryHandle)createAnswer;
+
+// Get records
+var getQuery = new CDBQGetLast(handle.Handle);
+var getAnswer = database.SendDatabaseQuery(getQuery);
+```
+
+**Available**:
+- Action logs
+- Alarm logs
+
+---
+
+## ⚠️ Common Pitfalls
+
+### 1. **Console Apps vs Windows Forms**
+
+❌ **Console applications** (OutputType=Exe) fail to load mixed-mode C++/CLI DLLs
+✅ **Windows Forms applications** (OutputType=WinExe) load successfully
+
+**Workaround**: Use hidden Windows Form:
+```csharp
+public class MainForm : Form {
+    public MainForm() {
+        this.WindowState = FormWindowState.Minimized;
+        this.ShowInTaskbar = false;
+        this.Size = new Size(1, 1);
+        this.Shown += MainForm_Shown;
+    }
+
+    private void MainForm_Shown(object sender, EventArgs e) {
+        this.Hide();
+        // Do actual work here
+        Application.Exit();
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### 2. **Output Directory**
+
+SDK documentation states applications should output to `C:\GEVISOFT\` to ensure DLL dependencies are found.
+
+### 3. **Application Lifecycle**
+
+Give file operations time to complete before exit:
+```csharp
+finally {
+    System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(2000);
+    Application.Exit();
+}
+```

+
+## 🐍 Python Integration Considerations
+
+### For Python FastAPI SDK Bridge
+
+**Challenge**: GeViSoft SDK is .NET/COM, Python needs to interface with it.
+
+**Options**:
+
+1. **Subprocess Calls** (Simplest)
+   ```python
+   result = subprocess.run([
+       "GeViSoftConfigReader.exe",
+       "localhost", "admin", "password", "output.json"
+   ], capture_output=True)
+   ```
+
+2. **pythonnet** (Direct .NET interop)
+   ```python
+   import clr
+   clr.AddReference("GeViProcAPINET_4_0")
+   from GEUTEBRUECK.GeViSoftSDKNET.ActionsWrapper import GeViDatabase
+   ```
+
+3. **comtypes** (COM interface)
+   ```python
+   from comtypes.client import CreateObject
+   # If SDK exposes COM interface
+   ```
+
+4. **C# Service Bridge** (Recommended for production)
+   - Build C# Windows Service that wraps SDK
+   - Exposes gRPC/REST interface
+   - Python API calls the C# service
+   - Isolates SDK complexity
+
+### Recommended Approach
+
+**For geutebruck-api project**:
+
+1. **Phase 0 Research**: Test all Python integration methods
+2. **Phase 1**: Implement C# SDK bridge service (like GeViSoftConfigReader but as a service)
+3. **Phase 2**: Python API communicates with C# bridge via localhost HTTP/gRPC
+
+**Why**:
+- SDK stability (crashes don't kill Python API)
+- Clear separation of concerns
+- Easier testing (mock the bridge)
+- Leverage existing GeViSoftConfigReader code

+
+## ✅ Working Example
+
+**GeViSoftConfigReader** (`C:\DEV\COPILOT\geutebruck-api\GeViSoftConfigReader\`)
+- ✅ Successfully connects to GeViServer
+- ✅ Queries configuration data
+- ✅ Exports to JSON
+- ✅ Proper error handling
+- ✅ All dependencies resolved
+
+**Use as reference implementation for API SDK bridge.**

 **Input**: Feature specification from `/specs/001-surveillance-api/spec.md`

 ## Summary

-Build a complete RESTful API for Geutebruck GeViScope/GeViSoft video surveillance system control, enabling developers to create custom surveillance applications without direct SDK integration. The API will provide authentication, live video streaming, PTZ camera control, real-time event notifications, recording management, and video analytics configuration through a secure, well-documented REST/WebSocket interface.
+Build a production-ready REST API for Geutebruck GeViScope/GeViSoft video surveillance systems, enabling developers to integrate surveillance capabilities into custom applications without direct SDK complexity. The system uses a C# gRPC bridge to interface with the GeViScope SDK, exposing clean REST/WebSocket endpoints through Python FastAPI.

-**Technical Approach**: Python FastAPI service running on Windows, translating REST/WebSocket requests to GeViScope SDK actions through an abstraction layer, with JWT authentication, Redis caching, and auto-generated OpenAPI documentation.
+**Technical Approach**: Python FastAPI + C# gRPC SDK Bridge + GeViScope SDK → delivers <200ms API responses, supports 100+ concurrent video streams, and handles 1000+ WebSocket event subscribers.

 ## Technical Context

-**Structure Decision**: Single project structure selected because this is an API-only service. Frontend/mobile clients will be separate projects that consume this API. The structure separates concerns into:
- `api/` - FastAPI routes, middleware, WebSocket
- `sdk/` - GeViScope SDK abstraction and translation
- `services/` - Business logic layer
- `models/` - Domain entities
- `database/` - Data access layer
- `core/` - Cross-cutting concerns (config, security, logging)
- `utils/` - Shared utilities
+**Structure Decision**: Web application structure selected (backend API + SDK bridge service) because:
+1. SDK requires Windows runtime → isolated C# bridge service
+2. API layer can run on Linux → flexibility for deployment
+3. Clear separation between SDK complexity and API logic
+4. gRPC provides high-performance, typed communication between layers
+5. Python layer handles web concerns (HTTP, WebSocket, auth, validation)
+
+## Phase 0 - Research ✅ COMPLETED
+
+**Deliverable**: [research.md](./research.md)
+
+**Key Decisions**:
+1. **SDK Integration Method**: C# gRPC bridge service (not pythonnet, subprocess, or COM)
+   - Rationale: Isolates SDK crashes, maintains type safety, enables independent scaling
+2. **Stream Architecture**: Direct RTSP URLs with token authentication (not API proxy)
+   - Rationale: Reduces API latency, leverages existing streaming infrastructure
+3. **Event Distribution**: FastAPI WebSocket + Redis Pub/Sub
+   - Rationale: Supports 1000+ concurrent connections, horizontal scaling capability
+4. **Authentication**: JWT with Redis session storage
+   - Rationale: Stateless validation, flexible permissions, Redis for quick invalidation
+5. **Performance Strategy**: Async Python + gRPC connection pooling
+   - Rationale: Non-blocking I/O for concurrent operations, <200ms response targets
+
+**Critical Discoveries**:
+- Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable (x86) mandatory for SDK DLL loading
+- Full GeViSoft installation required (not just SDK)
+- Windows Forms context needed for mixed-mode C++/CLI assemblies
+- GeViServer ports: 7700, 7701, 7703 (NOT 7707 as initially assumed)
+- SDK connection pattern: Create → RegisterCallback → Connect (order matters!)
+- State Queries use GetFirst/GetNext iteration for enumerating entities
+
+See [SDK_INTEGRATION_LESSONS.md](../../SDK_INTEGRATION_LESSONS.md) for complete details.

 ## Complexity Tracking

-**No constitution violations requiring justification.**
+No constitution violations. All design decisions follow simplicity and clarity principles:
+- ✅ REST over custom protocols
+- ✅ JWT over session management
+- ✅ Direct streaming over proxying
+- ✅ Clear layer separation (API ↔ Bridge ↔ SDK)
+- ✅ Standard patterns (FastAPI, gRPC, SQLAlchemy)

+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Common Issues
+
+**1. "Could not load file or assembly 'GeViProcAPINET_4_0.dll'"**
+
+**Solution**: Install Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable (x86):
+```powershell
+Invoke-WebRequest -Uri 'https://download.microsoft.com/download/1/6/5/165255E7-1014-4D0A-B094-B6A430A6BFFC/vcredist_x86.exe' -OutFile 'vcredist_x86_2010.exe'
+Start-Process -FilePath 'vcredist_x86_2010.exe' -ArgumentList '/install', '/quiet', '/norestart' -Wait
+```
+
+**2. "Connection refused to GeViServer"**
+
+**Solution**: Ensure GeViServer is running:
+```cmd
+cd C:\GEVISOFT
+GeViServer.exe console
+```
+Check ports: `netstat -an | findstr "7700 7701 7703"`
+
+**3. "Redis connection failed"**
+
+**Solution**: Start Redis server:
+```bash
+redis-server
+```
+
+**4. "SDK Bridge gRPC not responding"**
+
+**Solution**: Check SDK Bridge logs and restart:
+```bash
+cd src/sdk-bridge
+dotnet run --configuration Release
+```
+
+**5. "401 Unauthorized" on API calls**
+
+**Solution**: Check your access token hasn't expired (1 hour lifetime). Use refresh token to get new access token:
+```bash
+curl -X POST "http://localhost:8000/api/v1/auth/refresh" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{
+    "refresh_token": "YOUR_REFRESH_TOKEN"
+  }'
+```
+
+### Debug Mode
+
+Enable debug logging:
+```env
+LOG_LEVEL=DEBUG
+```
+
+View logs:
+```bash
+# API logs
+tail -f logs/api.log
+
+# SDK Bridge logs
+tail -f src/sdk-bridge/logs/bridge.log
+```
+
+### Health Check
+
+```bash
+# API health
+curl http://localhost:8000/api/v1/health
+
+# Expected response
+{
+  "status": "healthy",
+  "timestamp": "2025-12-08T15:30:00Z",
+  "version": "1.0.0",
+  "dependencies": {
+    "sdk_bridge": "connected",
+    "redis": "connected",
+    "database": "connected"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Performance Tuning
+
+### Response Time Optimization
+
+**Target**: <200ms for most endpoints
+
+```env
+# Connection pooling
+SDK_BRIDGE_POOL_SIZE=10
+SDK_BRIDGE_MAX_OVERFLOW=20
+
+# Redis connection pool
+REDIS_MAX_CONNECTIONS=50
+
+# Async workers
+UVICORN_WORKERS=4
+```
+
+### WebSocket Scaling
+
+**Target**: 1000+ concurrent connections
+
+```env
+# Redis pub/sub
+REDIS_PUBSUB_MAX_CONNECTIONS=100
+
+# WebSocket timeouts
+WEBSOCKET_PING_INTERVAL=30
+WEBSOCKET_PING_TIMEOUT=10
+```
+
+### Stream URL Caching
+
+Stream URLs are cached for token lifetime (15 minutes) to reduce SDK bridge calls.
+
+---
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+### Production Deployment
+
+**CRITICAL**: Before deploying to production:
+
+1. **Change default credentials**:
+   ```env
+   GEVISCOPE_PASSWORD=your-secure-password-here
+   JWT_SECRET_KEY=generate-with-openssl-rand-hex-32
+   REDIS_PASSWORD=your-redis-password
+   ```
+
+2. **Enable HTTPS**:
+   - Use reverse proxy (nginx/Caddy) with SSL certificates
+   - Redirect HTTP to HTTPS
+
+3. **Network security**:
+   - GeViServer should NOT be exposed to internet
+   - API should be behind firewall/VPN
+   - Use internal network for SDK Bridge ↔ GeViServer communication
+
+4. **Rate limiting**:
+   ```env
+   RATE_LIMIT_PER_MINUTE=60
+   RATE_LIMIT_BURST=10
+   ```
+
+5. **Audit logging**:
+   ```env
+   AUDIT_LOG_ENABLED=true
+   AUDIT_LOG_PATH=/var/log/geutebruck-api/audit.log
+   ```
+
+See [security.md](./security.md) for complete security guidelines.

+# Tasks: Geutebruck Surveillance API
+
+**Input**: Design documents from `/specs/001-surveillance-api/`
+**Prerequisites**: plan.md ✅, spec.md ✅, research.md ✅, data-model.md ✅, contracts/openapi.yaml ✅
+
+**Tests**: TDD approach enforced - all tests MUST be written first and FAIL before implementation begins.
+
+**Organization**: Tasks are grouped by user story to enable independent implementation and testing of each story.
+
+---
+
+## Format: `[ID] [P?] [Story] Description`
+
+- **[P]**: Can run in parallel (different files, no dependencies)
+- **[Story]**: Which user story this task belongs to (e.g., US1, US2, US3)
+- Include exact file paths in descriptions
+
+---
+
+## Path Conventions
+
+This project uses **web application structure**:
+- **Python API**: `src/api/` (FastAPI application)
+- **C# SDK Bridge**: `src/sdk-bridge/` (gRPC service)
+- **Tests**: `tests/api/` (Python), `tests/sdk-bridge/` (C#)
+
+---
+

+## Dependencies & Execution Order
+
+### Phase Dependencies
+
+- **Setup (Phase 1)**: No dependencies - can start immediately
+- **Foundational (Phase 2)**: Depends on Setup completion - BLOCKS all user stories
+- **User Stories (Phase 3-12)**: All depend on Foundational phase completion
+  - User Story 1 (P1): Authentication - NO dependencies on other stories
+  - User Story 2 (P1): Live Streaming - Requires User Story 1 (auth for protected endpoints)
+  - User Story 3 (P1): PTZ Control - Requires User Story 1 (auth) and User Story 2 (camera service exists)
+  - User Story 4 (P1): Event Notifications - Requires User Story 1 (auth), User Story 2 (camera service)
+  - User Story 5 (P2): Recording Management - Requires User Story 1 (auth), User Story 2 (camera service)
+  - User Story 6 (P2): Analytics Config - Requires User Story 1 (auth), User Story 2 (camera service), User Story 4 (events)
+  - User Story 7 (P2): Multi-Camera - Extends User Story 2 (camera service)
+  - User Story 8 (P3): NPR Integration - Requires User Story 4 (events), User Story 6 (analytics)
+  - User Story 9 (P3): Video Export - Requires User Story 5 (recording management)
+  - User Story 10 (P3): Health Monitoring - Can start after Foundational, but best after all services exist
+- **Polish (Phase 13)**: Depends on all desired user stories being complete
+
+### Critical Path (Sequential)
+
+```
+Phase 1: Setup
+    ↓
+Phase 2: Foundational (BLOCKS all user stories)
+    ↓
+Phase 3: User Story 1 - Authentication (BLOCKS all protected endpoints)
+    ↓
+Phase 4: User Story 2 - Live Streaming (BLOCKS camera-dependent features)
+    ↓
+Phase 5: User Story 3 - PTZ Control
+    ↓
+Phase 6: User Story 4 - Event Notifications (BLOCKS analytics)
+    ↓
+[Phase 7-12 can proceed in parallel after their dependencies are met]
+    ↓
+Phase 13: Polish
+```
+
+### User Story Dependencies
+
+- **US1 (Authentication)**: No dependencies - can start after Foundational
+- **US2 (Live Streaming)**: Depends on US1 completion
+- **US3 (PTZ Control)**: Depends on US1, US2 completion
+- **US4 (Event Notifications)**: Depends on US1, US2 completion
+- **US5 (Recording Management)**: Depends on US1, US2 completion
+- **US6 (Analytics Config)**: Depends on US1, US2, US4 completion
+- **US7 (Multi-Camera)**: Depends on US2 completion
+- **US8 (NPR Integration)**: Depends on US4, US6 completion
+- **US9 (Video Export)**: Depends on US5 completion
+- **US10 (Health Monitoring)**: Can start after Foundational
+
+### Parallel Opportunities
+
+**Within Phases**:
+- Phase 1 (Setup): T004-T010 can run in parallel (all marked [P])
+- Phase 2 (Foundational): T014-T015, T019-T021, T023-T024, T028-T029 can run in parallel
+
+**Within User Stories**:
+- US1 Tests: T030-T034 can run in parallel
+- US1 Models: T035-T036 can run in parallel
+- US1 Schemas: T038 independent
+- US2 Tests: T049-T055 can run in parallel
+- US2 Models: T063-T064 can run in parallel
+- US2 Schemas: T066-T067 can run in parallel
+- [Similar pattern for all user stories]
+
+**Across User Stories** (if team capacity allows):
+- After Foundational completes: US1 can start
+- After US1 completes: US2, US5 can start in parallel
+- After US2 completes: US3, US4, US7 can start in parallel
+- After US4 completes: US6 can start
+- After US5 completes: US9 can start
+- After US6 completes: US8 can start
+- US10 can start any time after Foundational
+
+**Polish Phase**: T198-T212, T214-T215 all marked [P] can run in parallel
+
+---
+
+## Parallel Example: User Story 2 (Live Streaming)
+
+```bash
+# Step 1: Write all tests in parallel (TDD - ensure they FAIL)
+Task T049: Contract test for GET /cameras
+Task T050: Contract test for GET /cameras/{id}
+Task T051: Contract test for POST /cameras/{id}/stream
+Task T052: Contract test for DELETE /cameras/{id}/stream/{stream_id}
+Task T053: Integration test for stream lifecycle
+Task T054: Unit test for CameraService (Python)
+Task T055: Unit test for CameraService (C#)
+
+# Step 2: Create models in parallel
+Task T063: Camera model
+Task T064: Stream model
+
+# Step 3: Create schemas in parallel
+Task T066: Camera schemas
+Task T067: Stream schemas
+
+# Step 4: Implement services sequentially (dependency on models)
+Task T068: CameraService (depends on T063, T064)
+Task T069: StreamService (depends on T068)
+
+# Step 5: Implement SDK Bridge sequentially
+Task T056: CameraService.cs (depends on gRPC proto T047)
+Task T059: StreamService.cs (depends on gRPC proto T048)
+
+# Step 6: Implement routers sequentially (depends on services)
+Task T071: Cameras router
+Task T072: Stream endpoints
+
+# Verify: Run tests T049-T055 - they should now PASS

+
+## Implementation Strategy
+
+### MVP First (User Stories 1-4 Only)
+
+**Rationale**: US1-US4 are all P1 and deliver core surveillance functionality
+
+1. ✅ Complete Phase 1: Setup
+2. ✅ Complete Phase 2: Foundational (CRITICAL - blocks all stories)
+3. ✅ Complete Phase 3: User Story 1 (Authentication) - STOP and TEST
+4. ✅ Complete Phase 4: User Story 2 (Live Streaming) - STOP and TEST
+5. ✅ Complete Phase 5: User Story 3 (PTZ Control) - STOP and TEST
+6. ✅ Complete Phase 6: User Story 4 (Event Notifications) - STOP and TEST
+7. **STOP and VALIDATE**: Test all P1 stories together as integrated MVP
+8. Deploy/demo MVP
+
+**MVP Delivers**:
+- ✅ Secure authentication with RBAC
+- ✅ Live video streaming from cameras
+- ✅ PTZ camera control
+- ✅ Real-time event notifications
+
+**Not in MVP** (can add incrementally):
+- Recording management (US5)
+- Analytics configuration (US6)
+- Multi-camera enhancements (US7)
+- NPR integration (US8)
+- Video export (US9)
+- Health monitoring (US10)
+
+### Incremental Delivery (After MVP)
+
+1. **MVP** (US1-4) → Deploy → Validate
+2. **+Recording** (US5) → Deploy → Validate
+3. **+Analytics** (US6) → Deploy → Validate
+4. **+Multi-Camera** (US7) → Deploy → Validate
+5. **+NPR** (US8) → Deploy → Validate
+6. **+Export** (US9) → Deploy → Validate
+7. **+Health** (US10) → Deploy → Validate
+8. **+Polish** (Phase 13) → Final Release
+
+Each increment adds value without breaking previous functionality.
+
+### Parallel Team Strategy
+
+With 3 developers after Foundational phase completes:
+
+**Week 1-2**: All work on US1 together (foundational for everything)
+
+**Week 3-4**:
+- Developer A: US2 (Live Streaming)
+- Developer B: Start US4 (Events - can partially proceed)
+- Developer C: Setup/tooling improvements
+
+**Week 5-6**:
+- Developer A: US3 (PTZ - depends on US2)
+- Developer B: Complete US4 (Events)
+- Developer C: US5 (Recording)
+
+**Week 7+**:
+- Developer A: US6 (Analytics)
+- Developer B: US7 (Multi-Camera)
+- Developer C: US9 (Export)
+
+---
+
+## Task Summary
+
+**Total Tasks**: 215
+
+**By Phase**:
+- Phase 1 (Setup): 10 tasks
+- Phase 2 (Foundational): 19 tasks
+- Phase 3 (US1 - Authentication): 17 tasks
+- Phase 4 (US2 - Live Streaming): 29 tasks
+- Phase 5 (US3 - PTZ Control): 15 tasks
+- Phase 6 (US4 - Event Notifications): 22 tasks
+- Phase 7 (US5 - Recording Management): 19 tasks
+- Phase 8 (US6 - Analytics Config): 18 tasks
+- Phase 9 (US7 - Multi-Camera): 9 tasks
+- Phase 10 (US8 - NPR Integration): 12 tasks
+- Phase 11 (US9 - Video Export): 14 tasks
+- Phase 12 (US10 - Health Monitoring): 14 tasks
+- Phase 13 (Polish): 18 tasks
+
+**MVP Tasks** (Phases 1-6): 112 tasks
+
+**Tests**: 80+ test tasks (all marked TDD - write first, ensure FAIL)
+
+**Parallel Tasks**: 100+ tasks marked [P]
+
+**Estimated Timeline**:
+- MVP (US1-4): 8-10 weeks (1 developer) or 4-6 weeks (3 developers)
+- Full Feature Set (US1-10 + Polish): 16-20 weeks (1 developer) or 8-12 weeks (3 developers)
+
+---
+
+## Notes
+
+- **[P] tasks**: Different files, no dependencies - safe to parallelize
+- **[Story] labels**: Maps task to specific user story for traceability
+- **TDD enforced**: All test tasks MUST be written first and FAIL before implementation
+- **Independent stories**: Each user story should be independently completable and testable
+- **Commit frequently**: After each task or logical group
+- **Stop at checkpoints**: Validate each story independently before proceeding
+- **MVP focus**: Complete US1-4 first for deployable surveillance system
+- **Avoid**: Vague tasks, same-file conflicts, cross-story dependencies that break independence
