What is CamServer?
I added a link to CamServer on the right of the page a little while ago, but didn’t explain what CamSever is and who would want to use it. CamServer is experimental software.
CamServer is a surveillance and monitoring application for Windows and Linux that lets you easily view and record remote cameras. Simply plug one or more USB or PCI capture devices into a computer, and then view the cameras from a remote location — on the same network or over the internet. Computers running CamServer on the local network are automatically discovered, no configuration is needed!
Screenshots:
Cameras are loaded from your computer, the local network, and over the internet. CamServer nodes can host cameras for remote access. Designate one instance for external use, and view all your cameras in one place.
Record video to AVI for future playback. Cameras may be designated as public or open-access, or protected with a username/password of your choosing.
Camera feeds may include timestamp and response information.
If the connection is lost, CamServer will let you know that the device is no longer providing video.
