-# SWT-CCTV
+# SWT-CCTV (Simple Watch Tool)
 
 A rather simple CCTV software which operates with Java.
 If you want to build this project on yourself, you will need IntelliJ (or any other IDE) and Maven!
+If you are looking for a desktop like experience this is the software, it has its own windowing system!
+
+## Downloads:
+
+If you are looking for downloads then you are in luck! Currently there are Windows Executables and portable Jar Files in place!
+Take a look at the [releases](https://rattatwinko.servecounterstrike.com/gitea/rattatwinko/swt-cctv/releases) page for the newest software releases!
+
+[Releases Page](https://rattatwinko.servecounterstrike.com/gitea/rattatwinko/swt-cctv/releases)
 
 ## Dependencies:
 - Webcam by Sarxos
 - Swing (AWT)
-- _lwjgl (with opengl)_ → This is important for our goals of rendering on the GPU.
 - junit for testing stuff
-- jcodec, in the future we will be recording using this
 - Jackson (fasterxml) → serializing the config for network cams
+- JavaCV
+  - FFmpeg
 
 ### Future Plans:
-They arent too big, i want one thing more and that is some more utilities in the camera window.
+Implement some more JavaCV cause of performance.
 
-Protable Jar which can be run with JRE 17 (already done but not too good!)
+## Requirements:
+
+- JRE/JDK 1.8.00 - 25 ([Reccomended](https://adoptium.net/de/download?link=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fadoptium%2Ftemurin17-binaries%2Freleases%2Fdownload%2Fjdk-17.0.17%252B10%2FOpenJDK17U-jre_x64_windows_hotspot_17.0.17_10.msi&vendor=Adoptium))

 - [x] Protable .jar which can be run with **JRE 17**
+- [ / ] Performance stabilisation (currently it is in place, and this app can be run on shitty hardware, but it can be better (current low is a celeron g550))
+- [ ] JavaCV integration for cameras
