Hi
Have any tests been done using Axis camera station as the VMS, I have 200 sites world wide and around 600 PC that could use this.

Ethan,
The Milestone Screen Recorder supports an adjustable frame rate between 1 and 4 fps. What frame rate does the DeskCamera support? Looking at your video, it must be fairly high since your hand wave and web cam video looks smooth.
We were looking at a HDMI over IP hardware switching solution to view desktop video on remote workstations but this product looks like it will provide what we need.

This is awesome, considering many companies are using PC's as registers. I feel like this would be easier than POS integration.

Ethan,
The documentation states that it supports from 4 to 20 fps and for web cams it will honor the input frame rate.
Does the product support multi-streaming where I could view a live MJPEG stream and record a separate H.264 stream in Milestone from the same video source?

Mykhaylo,
Thanks for the information. I am downloading the trial license now and we will be purchasing several licenses to replace $10K hardware solution we were considering.
Off topic but since you are now living in the ONVIF device world, it would be very beneficial to have a software-based ONVIF device that can read video clips taken from action cameras and stream them. Especially important would be to look at the video clip date/time meta data and treat the video clip as edge storage and send the video to the VMS to be inserted into the timeline at the right place (Milestone 2016 R3 supports inserting edge storage on the timeline). This would allow video taken with action cameras to be integrated with other fixed cameras in the VMS for playback. Just an idea for your company (we would buy it!).

Donald,
Thank you for the idea. It seems very promising, the only thing is needed is to add into DeskCamera the functionality required by ONVIF Profile G, then it will allow any VMS/NVR which supports Profile G to interact with DeskCamera as edge storage device.
That will be a great addon to our plans for adding Video Sources constructor, when user can create own video sources based on any screen area and stream them like a new channel/video output. So that may be an new option in the constructor - to add a Playback video source with selecting a folder with video files.
I beleive that would be done in the nearest future, thanks again for the idea.

Two other use cases, one of which I have a current customer request in public safety for:
Generate a ONVIF stream from a cellphone livestream for input into any VMS (not just a Milestone centric solution a la Milestone Mobile Push)
It would also be useful to extend the functionality to work from not just Action Cameras but the multitude of other lightweight security cameras on the market. Any of the products in the class of cameras like Doorbell, Arlo, Dropcam etc would be of great benefit.

Let me see if I have this straight by running a scenario by you kind folks.
We have numerous sites around the world that use their own CCTV system. I can log into the individual NVR's / DVR's, but we do not stream a view back to our GSOC. Could I set the head end monitor of those remote NVR's / DVR's up in a multiplexed screen and then use this product to mirror the view of those head end monitors on a single channel of our existing VMS here in our GSOC?
I would not need to record the channel at all I would just want the view. Then if we wanted to view the multiplexed image I could open that single channel full screen.

New DeskCamera version(1.6.1) is released, as a response to the feedbacks we got here.
Now it supports:
- Nx Witness/DW Spectrum
- Axis Camera Station*
- By default it includes now an additional media profile with constant RTSP url(not related to the video source device name). Example: rtsp://192.168.1.2:554/DeskCamera/screen1 (screen2,screen3,....)
*-Axis CS works only with screen sources(multiple desktops is supported also) , doesn't work with Audio and webcam, also AxisCS doesn't support Onvif authentication (WS-Security) so DeskCamera has to have empty Onvif user in order to work with AxisCS.

Quick functionality question for you. Can this product work in "stealth mode?"
Use case: IT manager that suspects a user to be abusing thier internet privileges by got to not safe for work (NSFW) sites. Working with HR and the Loss Prevention team, can this program be installed and run on the employees PC without thier knowledge? I know of a couple situations where this would have helped...

We tried to test this software recently but unfortunately it requires an Internet connection to activate the software license. Our facilities do not have nor do they allow any Internet connectivity. Statistically I have to believe there are a lot of video surveillance systems with no Internet connectivity.
They may support offline activation in the future but presently we are unable to field this product.

Mykhaylo just gave as an updated version of the DeskCamera software that supports offline activation. We tested it on an HP Z240 workstation running HD resolution and it works well updating smoothly in the Milestone Smart Client.

We just released a new version with Audio improvements. PCMA encoder was replaced by PCMU. That helped to resolve audio issues with many VMS including Milestone XProtect and Avigilon.
Trial period could be renewed by request.
Thanks,
Mykhaylo,

Update: DeskCamera is now officially listed on Genetec's supported devices list.
Just noticed it in the dropdown to add a device in Security Center:

And this is why I keep old IPVM emails I don't always have time to read, but I know could have some valuable info! This software is probably going to do exactly what I have been needing for awhile, but not quite for security purposes. I want to use this as a service and monitoring alert display for around the office. One PC in our rack, with different programs on different monitors. Then an IP video to HD decoder in every managers office. The decoders will rotate through the different monitors like it does for different cameras, showing things like summary status for service schedules, system alerts, office calendars, etc, on the different screens.
Now my challenge will be how do I make Windows think it has more monitors connected than there actually are? Because I don't want to mount 3 or 4 monitors in a rack just to get the multiple monitors up in Windows.
Maybe if it doesn't already have it, a suggestion for a component in the software to create in Windows multiple virtual monitors so it thinks it has multiple physical monitors connected. Then stream each of those monitors separately, and the HD decoder can rotate the displays in the manager's office. Or even better, an optional setting in the software itself to sequence monitor in the same video stream.
I knew I should have been a software developer.

Inspired by the Cut Milestone Licensing Costs 80% By Using Hikvision and Dahua NVRs (Tested)
Would there be any interest in DeskCamera doing the same* ?
I mean the ability to connect any ONVIF or RTSP or MJPEG or (advise any other camera) cameras to DeskCamera and have them available in Milestone(and other VMS) like channels from a single camera ("ONVIF Conformant Device (2-16 channel)" driver) . Actually the same what NVRs do in the report above, but with only 80 usd DeskCamera license .
*The feature is not available yet, just checking demand
