Hello all,
I have a CCTV system running with IP cameras and require an ESP8266 (nodemcu) to create specific text and stream it as an IP camera, such as GPS co-ordinates, map image, and other info. I have been trying to find any similar coding, with out success for a few weeks now.

Does any one have any ideas?

Thank you inadvance

Just philosophising here (I wrote something similar 15 years ago using Delphi as a proof of concept for a "WebCam"):

Create a (virtual) bitmap canvas
Draw your texts and images on the canvas
Compress the canvas to JPEG
Stream as MJPEG to any connected clients
