Windows devices now support direct integration of network cameras using the ONVIF standard, allowing IP cameras to be detected and used without additional software.
This makes it possible to connect cameras directly to the operating system and use them in applications such as recording, monitoring, or streaming.
In this guide, we explain how to add a network camera to Windows and what limitations you should be aware of.
Modern video surveillance systems rely on ONVIF devices for automatic discovery, configuration, and integration.
But what if you need to add a computer as a camera inside your VMS or NVR system and make it fully compatible with ONVIF standards?
In this guide, we explain how to convert a PC into a fully functional ONVIF IP camera and integrate it into a surveillance system.
If you’ve ever watched a video stream from your computer or camera inside a Video Management System (VMS), you’ve already relied on encoding and decoding — two essential processes that make modern video transmission possible.
Streaming a computer desktop directly into a video surveillance system (NVR/VMS) is becoming increasingly important in modern security environments.
Many organizations need to monitor applications, POS systems, industrial processes, or remote desktops as part of their surveillance infrastructure.
In this guide, we explain how to stream a desktop to an NVR using ONVIF and RTSP, and what solutions are available.
Encrypted video streaming from the camera through the server to the viewers is now essential in modern video surveillance systems. While the connection between the server and the viewer is typically protected using the HTTPS protocol, the link between the IP camera and the server has often remained unencrypted. This article explains how SRTP and RTSPS protocols solve that issue and how they can be configured in ITVDesk.
Over the past period, we received multiple questions from users and partners asking about the differences between ITVDesk and DeskCamera for streaming PC screens.
With the release of Milestone XProtect 2024 R1, Milestone has officially discontinued XProtect Screen Recorder.
The extension is no longer supported and will not function with current or future versions of XProtect.
If your video management setup relied on XProtect Screen Recorder to stream PC screens into your VMS, now is the time to switch to a modern, secure, and fully supported solution — ITVDesk.
