Exam Security Gaps: Why Standard CCTV Fails Online & In‑Centre Testing
Traditional ceiling cameras cover the room, but they can’t see the test screen, leaving critical blind spots that invite cheating and jeopardise accreditation.
- On‑Screen Cheating Is Invisible
Ceiling cameras can’t record hidden browser tabs, messaging apps, or virtual machines delivering answers. - Hybrid & Remote Testing Expand Risk
Off‑site laptops need monitoring without shipping extra hardware. - Accreditation Bodies Demand Screen Evidence
ISO 23988, Pearson VUE and university boards require verified desktop footage, not just room video. - Manual Screen Recorders Fail at Scale
Consumer tools crash, hog bandwidth and don’t integrate with VMS keyword search. - Hardware Capture Cards Inflate Budgets
Racks of grabbers and text inserters raise CapEx and still leave blind spots.

How it works
Install DeskCamera
DeskCamera is a lightweight software that runs on a regular Windows computer — no special hardware required. It captures the desktop screen, audio, and connected webcams.
Emulate a Virtual IP Camera
Once installed, DeskCamera turns the Windows PC into an ONVIF-compliant virtual IP camera. This means it can stream screen and webcam video just like a real IP camera would.
Stream to Any VMS/NVR
DeskCamera sends the video stream over the network to any compatible Video Management System (VMS) or Network Video Recorder (NVR), such as Milestone, Nx Witness, Hikvision, or others.
