CamStream For Linux

CamStream project is a collection of tools for webcams and other video-devices, enhancing your Linux system with multimedia video. All written in C++ and with a nice GUI frontend. The interface is based on Qt, an excellent GUI framework.

The aim of this project is build a set of programs for:

· Webcamming, that is saving an image and uploading it to a server at regular intervals; · Video conferencing; · Webcam broadcast (including server); · Recording movie clips (AVI, Quicktime) from a webcam (and playing them back); · Using a webcam as a security camera.

Here are some key features of "CamStream":

· Graphical user interface, it doesn't take command line arguments! · View multiple image streams from webcams or TV cards. · Change image size, brightness, contrast, etc. on the fly. · Save images in a variety of formats. · Include a timestamp in the image and/or the saved filename. · Uploading images to a server with FTP. · Take regular snapshots, or any moment you decide. · All configuration settings are stored per device, not globally.

Requirements:

· The Qt library (version >= 2.3.0) · (optional) libjpeg and libpng

What's New in This Release:

· The application is now completely multithreaded, which allows for smoother operation. · TV tuning has been implemented, so CamStream is now fully functional with TV cards. · Besides saving and transferring snapshots with FTP, it is now possible to use a script. · The FTP code has been rewritten. · A new user manual was written.
