BDLCAM allows you to control various video conferencing cameras and other USB/serial devices either locally or via the web. The current public version (3.4.0) does not stream the video, but there several programs available that take care of that.
All the cameras/devices supported are controlled via serial/rs232, so you will need a computer with an available serial port and the required cable to connect from the computer to the camera. A USB to serial adapter can also be used where no serial ports are available.
In the supported devices section I have included pinouts for anyone wanting to make their own cable, alternatively ebay is a good source for these cables.
Main features:
-Built in Web Server - Use BDLCAM as a simple Web Server
-Local Control - Control the camera from the local control panel in addition to the Web controls
-Goto Preset - Return the camera to a preset position after a configurable period of inactivity
-Focus Saver - After a configurable period of time the focus can be set to manual, when the next command is received the focus is set back to auto
-Limit Access - Allow only one person at a time to control the camera for a configurable period of time
-Basic Security - Restrict access to the web based camera control using username and password
-System Tray Option - Allows program to me minimized to the system tray
-Admin Function - Ability to restrict defined commands from general users/viewers
-Advanced Features (Documentation still be written)
