ONVIF auto-discovery
WS-Discovery + ONVIF Device/Media services mean your NVR finds and adds it exactly like a physical IP camera — or add it by IP.
DeskStreamer turns a POS register, back-office PC, or employee workstation into a standard ONVIF/RTSP camera. Your NVR auto-discovers it like any hardware camera — so on-screen activity is recorded right alongside your physical ones.
No agents to integrate, no proprietary recorder. DeskStreamer speaks the same protocols your surveillance stack already uses.
WS-Discovery + ONVIF Device/Media services mean your NVR finds and adds it exactly like a physical IP camera — or add it by IP.
Stream each display as its own independent camera, or capture a single monitor or region. Every screen recorded, separately addressable.
H.264 (and experimental H.265) with NVIDIA NVENC, Intel QSV, or AMD AMF when available — automatic CPU fallback keeps a busy till PC responsive.
A full-quality recording stream and a lightweight substream per camera — the dual-stream pattern your VMS already uses for cameras.
Add the webcam as its own camera, or composite webcam-over-screen (or screen-over-webcam) so you see the operator and the screen in one frame.
Optional microphone capture encoded as G.711 — the baseline ONVIF audio codec real NVRs decode, not AAC that silently drops.
Signed, server-free license keys — DeskStreamer activates and runs on locked-down or air-gapped networks. 14-day trial, no account required.
Install as a Windows service to start at boot and survive logoff — recording continues whether or not anyone's signed in.
Configurable ONVIF credentials and an app-level password gate keep a casual passerby from stopping the stream or changing settings.
Run the installer on the Windows machine you want to record. DeskStreamer lives quietly in the system tray, or as a background service.
It announces itself over ONVIF/WS-Discovery. Your NVR or VMS finds it on the network and adds it as a camera — by discovery or by IP.
Screen activity records alongside your physical cameras, wall-clock aligned — so you can review what was on the till the moment a transaction happened.
DeskStreamer isn't tied to a till. Anywhere a screen and a camera should have been watching the same moment, it turns that PC into another feed on your NVR.
Correlate every transaction on the register screen with the overhead camera. Spot voids, refunds, and no-sales the camera alone can't explain.
Keep an audit trail of what happened on sensitive workstations — cash counts, accounting, inventory adjustments — in the same system as your cameras.
Record nurse-station and lab-terminal screens alongside the hallway or ward camera feed your NVR already watches.
Capture operator terminals and control-panel screens on the plant floor, so an incident or a misconfigured step leaves a clear on-screen record.
Watch dispatch and inventory-system screens next to your dock and warehouse cameras — reconcile what the scanner showed with what the camera saw.
Record service-counter, kiosk, or lab/exam-terminal screens for windows and rooms already covered by your surveillance system.
