Opensurv is a free application that transforms your compatible device into a dedicated device to monitor video streams or images.

Features​

Self-healing and health monitoring including watchdogs​

  • Every stream will be monitored by an external watchdog process. If the stream gets killed somehow, the watchdog will try to restart the stream/process. This gives you a very robust surveillance screen.
  • Stream up/down detection and auto-repositioning of connectable streams on the screen layout. For example: if you stop a camera (or just stop the server on the camera), Opensurv will detect this and will recalculate/redraw the screen with the still available streams. The same is true if a previous unconnectable stream becomes connectable. All without any user interaction.

Automatically position streams (no manual coordinates calculation needed)​

  • Auto-calculate coordinates for every stream monitored.
  • If you are not happy with the autocalculations, you can customize them yourself.

Rotation of screens (autorotate or with keyboard control)​

  • You can configure multiple screens and cycle between them in an automated way or via the keyboard.
  • In the case of dual monitors, you can configure multiple screens to be cycled between for each monitor.

Multiple types of streams​

  • You can also specify "image streams" to monitor images next to or instead of camera streams. The images will be auto-updated if they change remotely.

Dual monitor support​

  • Opensurv will auto-detect if a second monitor is connected at boot and will automatically start the configured screens for the second monitor.

Vertical monitor support​

  • To display a screen vertically, set rotate90: True for that screen.
Support for file, image urls, rtsp streams, ..
Sub-second latency with the right hardware and config options.
