+## GUI subscribes
+GUI client can send to desired instance the `subscribe` message
+```
+    socket.emit('clientSubscribe', 'cameras.0', 'startCamera', {width: 640, height: 480}, result => console.log('Started: ' + result));
+```
+
+The instance 'cameras.0' will receive message `clientSubscribe` with information who want to receive messages.
+```
+adapter.on('message', obj => {
+    if (obj?.command === 'clientSubscribe') {
+        if (obj?.message.type && obj.message.type.startsWith('startCamera/')) {
+            const [, camera] = obj.message.type.split('/');
+            // start camera with obj.message.data
+            // ...
+            
+            // inform GUI that camera is started
+            adapter.sendTo(obj.from, obj.command, {result: true}, obj.callback);
+            this.subscribes = this.subscribes || [];
+            this.subscribes.push({sid: obj.message.sid, from: obj.from, type: obj.message.type, camera});
+        }
+    } else
+    if (obj?.command === 'clientUnsubscribe' || obj?.command === 'clientSubscribeError') {
+        if (obj?.message.type && obj.message.type.startsWith('startCamera/')) {
+            const [, camera] = obj.message.type.split('/');
+            if (this.subscribes) {
+                const pos = this.subscribes.findIndex(s => s.sid === obj.message.sid && s.from === obj.from && s.type === obj.message.type);
+                if (pos !== -1) {
+                    this.subscribes.splice(pos, 1);
+
+                    // stop camera
+                    // ...
+                }
+            }
+        }
+    }
+});
+```
+
+and after that client will receive messages from instance
+
+```
+function sendImage(camera, data) {
+    this.subscribes.forEach(it => {
+        if (it.camera !== camera) {
+            return;
+        }
+        // send image to GUI
+        adapter.sendTo(it.from, 'im', {m: it.type, s: it.sid, d: data});
+    });
