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.

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.

WeatherFlow

CamOverlay App CamScripter App

A hotel owner from Bald Head Island asked us to integrate data from his WeatherFlow weather station into a live stream. We achieved this by programming CamScripter App to download weather information from WeatherFlow's server and creating custom graphics with the help of the CamOverlay App.

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.
