About CamScripter App

What is CamScripter App?

CamScripter App is a unique application that allows you to run micro apps directly on an Axis IP camera. Works great along Axis Events in situations where using Axis Events only isn't enough. You can choose from presets or tailor-made micro apps.

How does CamScripter App work?

CamScripter App is an application running inside an Axis network camera. In combination with the CamOverlay App, it allows you to embed any data from any sources into your video.

Ready to start?

Install CamScripter App together with CamOverlay App to embed graphics into your video. You need an Axis IP camera with ARTPEC-6 chipset or higher to run the app. Once installed, use one of the preset micro apps, create your own or contact us for a custom solution.

What you can do with CamScripter App?

Show external data in your live stream

Insert real-time external data from temperature sensors, people counter and others into your live stream.

Visualize data via infographics

Embed information from your access system in a video stream together with infographics: great for monitoring visitors on your premises.

Use it in closed video circuit

Connect camera with data from your internal systems and insert them into the video stream which goes to your video management system.

Chester IoT Hub

CamOverlay App CamScripter App

Chester IoT Hub developed by Hardwario is a multi-purpose IoT device used for data telemetry, sensor monitoring, and more. Our micro-app utilizes CamScripter App and CamOverlay App to collect data from Chester IoT Hub and insert it into a graphic template embedded in a live stream. An automatic update refreshes the displayed values every 60 seconds and during configuration changes.

Electronic Scale

CamOverlay App CamScripter App

With our micro-app, it's possible to display external data such as electronic scale readings directly into the video feed. We connected an electronic scale to a wifi converter via RS232 cable and used CamScripter App to collect data from the scale at set intervals. CamOverlay App then uses the data to populate a custom graphics table containing two fields: the value on the scale and the unit of measurement used.

Main hoist load visualization

Huisman Equipment designs and builds heavy construction equipment. CamStreamer developed a custom micro app for the company that communicates with their OPC Unified Architecture (OPC UA) and together with CamScripter App and CamOverlay App displays the main hoist load data of a crane on a CCTV.

Flowmeter integration

We connected a flowmeter to a Raspberry Pi with our CamScripter RPi and created a simple flowmeter integration for AXIS cameras that measures the flow of liquids and displays the results as a graphic overlay generated in CamOverlay App.

CamScripter RPi

CamScripter App

We designed a Raspberry Pi version of our CamScripter App to make it possible for you to connect devices requiring a USB port and a serial link to your AXIS camera. Connect your camera to a thermometer, flowmeter, digital scale, or hygrometer and visualize the output data with CamOverlay App.
