go2rtc vs Kurento: at a glance
What is go2rtc?
go2rtc keeps adding vendor camera clouds, with Xiaomi the focus of the last three releases.
go2rtc turns almost any camera into a stream any client can use, and recent releases have worked through vendor protocols: VIGI, DoorBird and UniFi Protect via ONVIF in early 2025, then Tuya and Xiaomi in December 2025, a Xiaomi rework in January and more Xiaomi models in 1.9.15 on October 25. Between those came RTSP UDP transport, preload streams, a security release with path allowlists, and a Wyoming module for voice audio.
What is Kurento?
Kurento's JavaScript client gets a 7.3.1 point release with no notes.

◆ Current state
go2rtc turns almost any camera into a stream any client can use, and recent releases have worked through vendor protocols: VIGI, DoorBird and UniFi Protect via ONVIF in early 2025, then Tuya and Xiaomi in December 2025, a Xiaomi rework in January and more Xiaomi models in 1.9.15 on October 25. Between those came RTSP UDP transport, preload streams, a security release with path allowlists, and a Wyoming module for voice audio.
◆ Where it's heading
Releases come every one to three months, and each widens camera coverage or tightens the server's attack surface rather than changing the architecture. The Wyoming module is the one move beyond cameras.
◆ Prediction
The next release will likely add more vendor or firmware support; whether the Wyoming voice work expands is unclear from the feed.
Kurento
2.5MEETINGS
Kurento's JavaScript client gets a 7.3.1 point release with no notes.
◆ Current state
Kurento is an open-source WebRTC media server, and the only entry in this feed is kurento-client-js 7.3.1, tagged on November 13. The release notes are a single line naming the package and version.
◆ Where it's heading
With one notes-free client tag on record, the feed shows that the 7.x JavaScript client is still maintained but not what is changing in it.
◆ Prediction
It is unclear from one release what comes next; more tags are needed before a direction is visible.
