CONTROLS MANY CAMERA MODELS

CamExpand does not require device drivers in order to interact with your camera hardware and software. It simply uses the software that came with your camera. CamExpand interacts with any software running on the desktop by way of keyboard and mouse functions. This method of control enables you to expand and combine the capabilities of all the software loaded on your computer.

CREATE YOUR OWN CAMERA PROGRAMS

This is where CamExpand goes beyond the capabilities of the software that came with your camera hardware. CamExpand allows you to create programs that can do everything you can do manually and much more. The program shown below simply captures a picture, composes an email with an attachment and sends it to the defined address. Programs can be created using word processors like Wordpad, text editors like Notepad or you can use the built in program editor within CamExpand.

 

 


 
TAKES ACTION AUTOMATICALLY

CamExpand allows you to monitor your computers display, directories and clock. It is designed to run unattended and takes action when defined colors appear on the display, when motion is detected on the display, when other software packages save new picture or movie files to directories or when the program scheduler is setup to wait for specific dates and times to occur. The actions taken once any of these events occur is limited only by your imagination.

CONTROL CAMERAS FROM
REMOTE LOCATIONS

CamExpand can scan your inbox for emails that contain commands to run programs and program schedules saved on your computer. This gives you the ability to control your camera hardware from anywhere in the world. You can even use an email capable cell phone or palm device to control your cameras wherever you are. Use other computers on your LAN or WAN to control your camera hardware remotely. You simply use a word processor or text editor to create and save text files into a shared trigger directory that CamExpand is monitoring. These text files contain commands that run programs and program schedules saved on your computer.

WEB PAGE FILES TO SERVERS

CamExpand is capable of creating web pages for your pictures that can be viewed from your network or the Internet. There are two types of web pages that can be handled by the software, STATIC and DYNAMIC. STATIC web pages never change and are just copied to network directories or uploaded to web servers. DYNAMIC web pages start out as web page templates that contain regular HTML, or any text, with special data tags that your enter. Each tag gets substituted with actual data before being sent.
