Did you know your computer’s webcam can double as a professional security camera? You don’t need to buy expensive new hardware to monitor your office or workspace. With DeskCamera, you can transform any standard computer webcam into a high-quality RTSP & ONVIF security camera in minutes.
It’s a simple, software-only solution that integrates your existing webcams directly into your Video Management System (VMS) or Network Video Recorder (NVR), giving you a powerful new set of eyes without the hardware cost.
Why Buy New Hardware? Use What You Have.
DeskCamera simplifies surveillance by using the hardware you already own. Whether it’s a built-in laptop camera or a USB webcam, our software turns it into a fully functional network camera. This is perfect for temporary monitoring setups, remote workspaces, or simply adding coverage without running new cables.
Stream Webcams via RTSP
One of the biggest hurdles with USB webcams is that they aren’t network-ready. DeskCamera fixes this by creating a webcam RTSP stream. This means your local webcam feed can now travel over the network, just like a professional IP camera, making it accessible to any software or device that supports RTSP.
Instant ONVIF Compatibility
Compatibility is king in security. That’s why DeskCamera converts your webcam feed into a standard ONVIF IP camera. This isn’t a hacky workaround; it’s full compliance. Your VMS (like Milestone, Genetec, or NX Witness) will recognize your webcam exactly as it would a dedicated Axis or Hikvision camera, allowing for seamless recording, motion detection, and management.
Monitor From Anywhere
Once your webcam is integrated into your VMS/NVR, you unlock remote webcam monitoring. Check in on your desk, your server room, or reception area from anywhere in the world using your VMS mobile app or client. It’s professional-grade monitoring using consumer-grade gear.
The Smart Software Video Encoder
Think of DeskCamera as a software video encoder. It takes the raw feed from your webcam, encodes it efficiently, and serves it up to your security infrastructure. No dongles, no converters, just a lightweight application running in the background.
