Glad to hear that the PiP customization functionality and image backdrop are on the roadmap for CaptureSync - it would be great if that could be made into portable functions that could find their way to SecuritySpy.

It seems that the browser could also be an entirely separate application, which actually might make sense for a number of reasons (separating the "capture" from the "playback" functions is not a bad idea, especially when it's just digesting a file tree structure and there doesn't seem to be any huge requirement to tightly couple the two.) Any chance of giving some feature hints? Also: happy to test out betas. The new browser is really a feature that will change SecuritySpy. Recording presentations is definitely something CaptureSync would be perfect for, with these additions. The ability to specify a custom background image and other text is also already on the "to do" list. It's possible that your camera is adding these to the sides of the images that it is sending.

But as you can imagine this is a big job! the new browser, when finished, should do everything you mention.Īs for CaptureSync, we certainly have big plans, including some of the things you mention Picture-in-picture is one - or, more generally, full control over the layout so that you can position different cameras (and screen captures) exactly where you want in the final movie.Īs for cameras touching edges - this is in fact currently the case: there is no border between cameras added by CaptureSync. and then have the presenter's video appear in a small pre-defined place in that "camera", while another camera was the slides.įeatures in SecuritySpy that play back the cameras together is currently possible using the existing Browser in multi-file mode, however we're aware that improvements can be made, and we are working on re-writing the Browser. For example, it would be great to have a backdrop image that contains the conference details, date, presenter's name, etc. Of course, this probably should be an option ("inter-frame blank space")ģ) Having an option for an image to be a "camera" would be ideal, but really requires #1 to be implemented. I want a small picture (bottom right) of the presenter, and then the rest of the frame should be the slides.Ģ) Having the option to have cameras "touch" on their edges might be nice - I'm testing with an Arecont 4-camera panoramic layout, and there are vertical lines between each camera when they should present a fully-seamless view. It seems that re-sizing the window is what dictates how the movies are saved (grid or line.) I'd use this for conferences with one camera on the speaker and one as a screen capture of the presentation, but having them exactly the same size is kind of strange, and probably sub-optimal. There is no way to order or lay out the cameras other than simple layout. Quick insights into CaptureSync: it's a good start, but needs a bit of polishing as any first release would need.ġ) Again, having layout options and picture-in-picture would make this more useful. There are some of these discussions already here: Then tie this type of modification to schedules (#2)
#Capturesync careers how to#
Indigo is a good example of how to do this well, with relative offsets etc.ģ) Implement meta-cameras composed of other camera views, with configurable picture-in-picture views/customized sizes/placement instead of simple "grid" layout. I seem to recall reading that Ben was working on this - a much-welcomed change, when it arrives.Ģ) Implementing scheduled modifications to settings of individual cameras, or to the whole application itself (note: I do this to some degree with Indigo home automation systems and the CynicalSecurity plug-in for it - it's a hack, but you might check it out.) Having the concept of "daylight hours" as well as a more fully-capable schedule tool (with holidays, exceptions, etc.) would be welcome as a precursor to this.

The "multi-mode" view supposedly does this, but I've never been able to make it work and it is terribly non-obvious.


RemotePatrol: I think you're looking for two or even three different discrete (and possibly major) features:ġ) Re-writing the browser so it can be more useful - this could allow viewing of several stored streams at the same time, synchronized with historical clock.
