> So, application acts as "master" if it was able to bind to the pre-configured IP and as a "node" if it wasn't. If it's a master it listens on an additional port and receives updates from nodes. Each application pulls video feed out of attached video cameras and stores them on the local drives, that what makes them unique.

Looks pretty straight-forward. You just need to decompose your
preference computation logic from start of the resource. Pacemaker
should decide where to promote the resource, you have to provide him
score from all nodes.
Check ocf:linbit:drbd for inspirations.
