PTZ Compass

Embed a compass in your PTZ image that will show what general direction your camera is pointing to at any given moment along with the sector in which the camera is streaming. You can select between a circular compass or a point on the map showing the angle and sector the camera is streaming. You can choose a map directly in the application, or upload a custom background and place the camera position over it.

Insert images

Inform about the prices of ski lifts, events, timetables or insert advertisements directly into the video. CamOverlay App will change your IP camera into a powerful communication tool. Opening hours or descriptions of historical sights being watched by your PTZ IP cam? You can even do all that with CamOverlay App. Supported formats are JPEG, PNG and animated GIF.

Conference

Insert subtitles to speakers of videoconferences, lectures and studio broadcasts. Pre-set any number of subtitles for all participants and insert them to the actual picture by a single click. Subtitles can be created in service Custom Graphics and controlled via the Control room.

Picture in Picture

Insert the picture from another camera on the same network or even from your web camera into your live stream. A fast solution for sports broadcasting, where the current score on the scoreboard can be inserted into the live stream. Or, for example, you can add technical information to a stream of your machine in the factory hall. Cameras with Artpec-6/7 processor support up to 25fps for PiP.

Screen Sharing as PiP

Share your screen, application window, or browser tab as a PiP in the video feed. Great for schools, webinars, presentations, churches, live events, and anyone who wants to present content from their computer. This service only works when connected via HTTPS. For HTTPS use e.g. our CamStreamer Cloud service, install the certificate or contact us at support@camstreamer.com.

Dewarping of PiP

Would you like to capture the match and scoreboard simultaneously using only one camera? You can create a picture-in-picture effect by cutting out the scoreboard view from the main screen. Additionally, if your camera angle causes any distortion, our Dewarping function can digitally straighten the image.
