Updated:
For existing app partner using conventional AdamApp
It is not necessary to change the format. Please continue to use AdamApp.
For new app partner
Please choose the format from the following points
(i)Want to cover many i-PRO camera models
It is better to choose AdamApp that covers almost all S and X series camera models (SoC is CV2x or CV52)
(ii)Want to port existing docker application to i-PRO camera or want to use external library easily
Container AdamApp is the docker container based application type and easy to port , install external library.
(iii)Want to develop app compatible with Azure IoT Edge
Container AdamApp for Azure IoT Edge is the dedicated type for Azure IoT Edge platform system.
