Télécharger GlanceCam - IP camera viewer sur PC

1. GlanceCam is a bit nerdy, but very useful if you want to take full advantage of cheap webcams and maybe combine them to the automation capabilities of the Internet of Things (IoT); it works on your LAN or via Internet (please see the requirements below) and, while it's not the most "works out-of-the-box" home or business automation solution to configure (you'll need to type in a few network parameters, as detailed in the following description), it's very flexible and brand-agnostic.

2. • With most IP webcams, you can receive the video stream via RTSP, HTTP or RTMP, without opening a browser; GlanceCam shows you those feeds in a resizable window you can keep always visible on your Desktop.

3. • One or more IP cameras capable of broadcasting its stream via RTSP, HTTP or RTMP; you'll need to know the webcam IP address, the protocol of its video stream, the login credentials and port for the connection.

4. • To work over the Internet, you'll need a static public IP address (or a dynamic DNS service) and to configure port forwarding for each webcam stream and, optionally, for the action button; we recommend to start testing the video stream in LAN.

5. You can check if your camera provides a RTSP, HTTP or RTMP stream by searching the web, usually on the manufacturer website; since there is no standard for the stream URL format, you'll need to retrieve the proper string on your camera's manual or website.

6. In order to take advantage of GlanceCam you'll need third party hardware (one or more cameras, optionally IoT enabled devices) and a little knowledge about your network; please, check the requirements below or get in touch at support@cdf1982.com before purchasing.

7. • For every camera, you can also configure up to 2 optional buttons, visible when you hover your mouse on the app window, to perform actions via customizable HTTP GET action URLs (PUT is not supported).

8. Please be advised that GlanceCam in designed for realtime playback and does not support DVRs/NVRs, proprietary cloud services, recording (nor playing back previous recordings), PTZ cameras and motion detection/notifications.

9. GlanceCam is a modern Mac app that lets you keep an eye on one or more IP cameras and optionally perform actions via HTTP(s) GET requests.

10. • For triggering actions by pressing the customizable buttons, you'll need devices or appliances that can react to HTTP GET calls.

11. • Install webcams in your living room, kitchen and garden to check on your cat when you're away, maybe turning on a light at night or taking a snapshot when kitty does something funny.
