CLI Commands Scylla config

If you want to add cameras manually open /etc/scylla/config.json file, find cameras property
and add camera after end of cameras array. Camera configuration requires 4 properties that
you should confirm. Camera name, camera type e.g rtsp, url (udp stream url) and device id
(device urn). Scylla cli checks connected cameras with id parameter so it is encouraged to
add this parameter if you have it.

Config.json by default includes 3 default cameras. Please DO NOT REMOVE first one. It is
required for scylla. Other 2 options are not mandatory they are just an example you can
remove or replace them.

There is limitation while installing cameras. You can not choose more than 8 cameras.
