What is
CamSwitcher App?

CamSwitcher App is an ACAP application running on your camera. It can switch among up to five AXIS network cameras and video clips saved on the camera's SD card. Choose master audio and generate a single output video stream in real-time. Switching can be manual, automatic via predefined playlists, or triggered via API commands.

How does
CamSwitcher App work?

CamSwitcher App runs on your IP camera without any extra hardware required. The app fetches RTSP video streams from the connected cameras and switches among them. Additionally, you can mix in audio and video clips stored on an SD card. The mixed video feed is ready to be easily streamed via CamStreamer App.

Are you ready to start?

CamSwitcher App must be installed on a camera with an ARTPEC-6 chipset or higher (see compatibility). For cameras used as additional video and audio source minimum ARTPEC-5 is required (see compatibility).

What you can do with CamSwitcher App?

Create an automatic playlist from multiple video sources

Combine feeds from multiple cameras into a single livestream. The playlist you create with CamSwitcher App will automatically switch between audio and video sources in a loop.

Switch between live cameras and pre-recorded video

Perfect solution to lack of streaming content after opening hours: automatically switch between live feed and pre recorded video saved on an SD card.

Use multiple cameras and viewpoints at your live event

Make your live events more dynamic by using multiple cameras and switching between viewpoints and angles in real-time.

Follow the motion with Motion Tracker

Utilize motion detection technology to switch between cameras or view areas. Motion Tracker allows you to set up motion tracking zones and switch between them without any manual input, making the streaming of sports events, mainly basketball, fully automatized. This solution can be applied either through a 4K camera with three motion tracking zones or through three cameras, depending on your hardware set-up.

Features

Single feed via mixing A/V sources

Automatically switch among live streams from up to cameras (or view areas) and locally saved audio / video sources.

Complete in-camera solution

Install CamSwitcher App and CamStreamer App on your Master camera with internet access. The rest of cameras (up to 4) can be added via local network.

Easy control via any PC/mobile browser

User interface of CamSwitcher App was designed with smartphones and tablets in mind. Control your live stream from any device.

Automated and manual switching

Choose how long each A/V source should be on air and set source switching to automatic mode. Alternatively, you can change among sources manually in real-time in CamSwitcher App.

Create your own playlists & loops

Create your own playlists, save them and run them as you wish. A playlist can play in a loop for continuous 24/7 switching or you can switch playlists manually.

Insert audio and video clips

Upload video clips (MP4, AVI) and audio tracks (MP3) on a SD card inserted into your "Master camera" and mix them with your live stream, all via CamSwitcher interface.

Consistent audio

When you switch between cameras, for better experience you can play audio from just one of them all the time. Or you can play the audio track from an external source such as SD card all the time without any breaks during switching video sources.

Powerful API

CamSwitcher App can also be controlled via its application interface (API), meaning you can switch video sources remotely in a matter of seconds.

Motion Tracker

Set up motion tracking zones and use them as a trigger to switch your stream up with the Motion Tracker feature. The zones can be set up either on one 4K camera or three connected cameras.

Live voiceover in your stream

You can turn on live commentary to your stream with a single click in the app's interface! Just push the button and speak. Great for sports broadcasts or competitions.
