Features
DeskCamera is a virtual ONVIF IP camera that streams a PC screen and webcam into video surveillance systems via the ONVIF and RTSP protocol. A workstation on which DeskCamera has been installed acts like an IP camera and can streams the PC screen and webcam to any VMS/NVR systems
DeskCamera is a software-only solution which aims to replace expensive hardware approaches used to monitor PC screen activities. No hardware encoders or physical IP cameras are required. DeskCamera can stream the PC screen and webcam like that is an ONVIF camera.
Using ONVIF standard means that DeskCamera is compatible with many Video Management Systems (VMS) or Network Video Recorders (NVR). It can be easily integrated into existing CCTV setups and used side by side with other IP cameras.
The software can perform in cash terminals, banks, supermarkets, exam/certification centers, SCADA terminals, and any industry that uses a Windows PC as a point of service or information.
