IP Camera Filter

IP Camera Filter is a simple to use tool that can integrate with certain video recording programs and extend their capabilities. This addon allows you to capture live pictures or video from local or remote IP cameras while working with an intuitive tool.

IP Camera Filter is a DirectShow Source Filter, which means it works with a large series of video/picture capturing programs. The tool requires special configuration from within the program, from the camera selection window. The recommended application and the one it finds the best compatibility with is HandyAvi, but the tool can also be used with software such as VirtualDub, Windows Media Encoder or Webcam XP.

The tool allows you to create several local/remote IP cameras connections, by entering the IP address and camera type. The settings differ based on the video recording program that you use, but the result is that you can create time-lapse videos or motion detection clips using IP camera feed.

The first step in using IP Camera Filter is selecting the proper camera from the device configuration window. You may choose any of the AzIPCam options, since the name stands for AZcendant IP Camera, then set the video options/format/settings.

You need to select the model of the IP camera, enter the proper resolution, speed, filter frame rate and JPEG capturing interval. You need to enter the IP address of the camera you wish to monitor, the port and enable the SSL connection if necessary.

In many cases, entering the IP address for the camera overrides the initial settings, since the proper information is embedded in the webpage. You can use public or private IP cameras addresses and record live feed from them. IP Camera Filter allows you to setup several IP cameras and save videos based on the live feed.
