CamStream is a software package that offers multiple utilities for webcams and similar video devices, thus enhancing the multimedia video capabilities of Linux operating systems.
CamStream is an extremely useful collection of tools for webcams and other video devices that helps enhance your Linux system with multimedia video. This project is written in C++ and comes with an excellent GUI framework based on Qt. The main aim of this project is to provide users with a set of applications for various purposes like video conferencing, webcamming, webcam broadcasting (including server), recording movie clips from a webcam, and using a webcam as a security camera.
One of the key features of CamStream is its graphical user interface, which makes it easy to use and avoids the need for command line arguments. Additionally, you can view multiple image streams from webcams or TV cards and even change image size, brightness, contrast, etc. on the fly. You can also save images in various formats and include a timestamp in both the image and the saved filename. Moreover, you can upload images to a server using FTP and take regular snapshots or any moment you decide. The best part is that all configuration settings are saved per device, not globally.
To use CamStream, you need the Qt library (version >=2.3.0) and can optionally use libjpeg and libpng libraries. The latest release of CamStream is multithreaded, allowing for smoother operation, and TV tuning has been implemented, making it fully functional with TV cards. You can now save and transfer snapshots with a script, including the rewritten FTP code. Lastly, the project also includes a new user manual to make your experience even better.
Overall, CamStream is an excellent software that is a must-have for anyone looking to enhance their Linux-multimedia experience.
