CamStreamer CamScripter App for running micro apps directly on Axis IP cameras – single camera licence

Overview of the CamStreamer CamScripter App

• Develop and run micro apps directly on an Axis IP camera
• Compatible with a wide range of Axis IP cameras
• Choose from preset packages or create custom applications
• Each app can contain its UI in addition to the CamScripter App’s UI
• E-licence - one licence per camera

CamScripter App is a smart application that allows users to run micro apps directly on an Axis IP camera. The app can be combined with the CamOverlay App to enable data from any source to be embedded into a live video stream, as well as the ability to send data to another non-video system. This setup is ideal for scenarios that require further functionality over what can be achieved using standard Axis Events (which trigger specific actions to be performed when the Axis camera detects a specified condition). The flexible solution can be built independently, or as an addition to an existing security infrastructure; and useful features include the ability to choose from preset packages or to create custom applications that best meet user needs. There is also the potential for each app to contain its own user interface (UI) in addition to the UI of CamScripter App.

Application

With one licence required per network camera, this versatile application is compatible with Axis IP cameras with ARTPEC-6 or higher and enables users to run micro apps directly on their camera to expand their live streaming capabilities. The application leverages the power of its associated camera, simplifying configuration with no need for an extra computer. CamScripter App can be used for a variety of applications; for example, users can display data taken from temperature sensors within a scientific site, or showcase reviews from an external source over the live stream of a popular tourist attraction.

Functionality

This advanced application includes a variety of interesting features that help users to make the most of their data and enhance their live streams. Users can choose from preset micro app packages or they can develop their own, custom micro apps in a simple, JavaScript-based language. In combination with CamOverlay App, users can embed any data from any source into their video stream to provide viewers with more in-depth information. Applications can be developed that carry out a variety of functions: inserting data from temperature sensors and counter machines, showing data from an access video system to see who has just entered the premises and making the video more attractive with an embedded graphic clock. Each app can also have its own UI in addition to CamScripter’s UI – allowing users to tailor their interface to their own needs. Additionally, it is also possible for users to decide how they stream the output from their micro apps; either streaming it online or implementing it within their video management software – giving them stronger control over the privacy of their data.

Integration

CamScripter App can be downloaded and run onboard an Axis IP camera with ARTPEC-6 or higher, meaning there is no need for an extra computer or complex configurations. Users simply need to download and install the application onto their Axis camera and activate their license to start developing micro apps.

Please note: a single CamScripter App licence is required per Axis IP camera.
