You are a fucking HERO! Open source is the way. Keep making these awesome videos!
Thanks, and I sure will!
CCTV-Viewer is great for budget camera installs where the user has IP Cam that have internal SSD cards and you need a basic viewer. No NVR in between. More work to stetup each camera individually but its an option. I am using Zoneminder as my opensource NVR as a full solution.
Indeed, this is just a viewer, and not an NVR setup. Some NVRs have an ok viewer as well, but some it's easier to use something like CCTV-Viewer.
@@AwesomeOpenSourceCorrect: CCTV-viewer watches my NVR which works much better then the Webpage from the NVR itselfs.
Here when the title said “Open Sourcp”.
2nd that
OMG! hahahaha. I have no idea how I miss these silly misspellings. Thank you, and thanks for the laughs.
@@AwesomeOpenSourcegreat video like usual!

Great video and this is almost exactly what I’m looking for to give me ease of setup, but I’m curious on a couple aspects of this.
1. Can this run on say a RaspberryOS Lite deployment on a Raspberry 4B or 5?
2. Can it be set up to automatically start after system power up and open as full screen?
3. Once all cameras are configured, is there a way to disable the GUI and just have the assigned preset(s) visible?
I’m looking at this or something similar to display 3x3 or 4x4 at a business where the NVR is upstairs in an open air space above an office like area, and the monitor for the NVR is in a closet in the back, but we would like to view the cameras from by the registers, and that would be the only purpose of the device/monitor is a viewer.
Thanks in advance.
I dont' know if this will run on a Raspbery Pi. The only thing you can do is try to install it. If it's got an Arm 64 build, it should run.
Great Video - But 1. Will it work on ubuntu 18.04 ? - 2. Will it work with ffmpeg version 3.4.11 - ??
I'm not sure on whether it will work. It's no charge to try it. But you should really update from 18.04, that's out of suppor as of April 2023.

my pleasrue
Hi, I have 8 Reolink cameras connected to the 8 channel Reolink Nvr. Can I just point this to the nvr and get the 8 feeds that way? I also love the Reolink cameras, bang for buck they cant be beaten.
I don't know actually. I don't have an NVR from reolink. Definitely check the docs for this one.
This ‘CCTV-Viewer’ is not the same one that is in the Apple app store.
Snapd is not bad, wonder if it is available via flatpack or a rpm or deb package as well.
Good to know on the App Store. Didn’t try it. Only found the snap installer, no other methods, but I did look.
@@AwesomeOpenSource that happens with small projects. It is okay, it works 😎
Any suggestions on a good outdoor wireless camera?
I really like the Reolink stuff. You can use it local only if you want. As long as it's a powered camer (not batter operated) you get RTSP streaming, so really like that for the local part.
Hi! Does this application use any VLC or mpv code to ensure everything playbacks smoothly? On chrome on Linux playing 4k60 uses 60% of my cpu and it’s embarrassing. I want to make sure this doesn’t happen on this application
I don't know if VLC is used, but ffmpeg is used for the stream, and you can modify the ffmpeg string to help with it.
It's very nice and I use it but: it's eating Ram memory and after 2/3 days the app crashes. I run it on Zorin(Ubuntu based) as snap. So how can we prevent running out of memory?
Close the app once a day to free up the RAM it's using, then re-launch it. Report the memory leak to the devs on Github as well.
Glory to the hypno toad ...
I am installing this just for the hypno toad livestream.
It's an awesome way to show what it can do.
Great video and thanks. Is there a trick to installing this? I tried installing via SNAP on two different computers and two different distros (Ubuntu 22.04 and Mint) and have the same outcome. SNAP shows it installed, but the application is not in my app library and when I launch cctv-viewer from cli it tells me it crashed. Love the solution wish I could get it to work.
I haven't had it crash on me. Installed on Fedora and Ubuntu (Fedora I had to install snapd first). But is working for me with no issue. You might check the github page to see if anything is reported by someone else.
can someone point me in the direction of a cheap IP cam that would link into this software? I'm in the UK and all I get is dumb ones with apps and subscriptions
Reolink IP Cams work great over local IP with RTSP streams. They have an app, but it's not required to use the cameras. You do want powered cameras through, battery powered cameras won't have an RTSP stream option.
@@AwesomeOpenSource so battery powered don't support RTSP because it uses too much power, I presume?
Correct. There are some work around, but your battery power will suffer, and the work around are just hacks.
I think you might have to look for one that doesn't require snap, I can smell the controversy comments already
snap is way better than it used to be.
@@AwesomeOpenSource Snap is Ubuntu attempt at creating a walled garden. I migrated to Linux for freedom, so I'll pass on Ubuntu completely even if they had the best distro out there and the best app store. But to each his own.
