Initial Commit Hash:
d775a33107The things which were changed are pretty major! First off i want to talk about the JavaCV Thing, before i was using JCodec cause i was of the opinion that this project should stay Java.
Now we are using JavaCV! Its a pretty major change but isnt too shabby, now we can use FFmpeg and with that we can efficiently encode video live!Other Things that changed which may be cool for some really secure people is that recording now allows you to export the ENTIRE Library of Film onto a USB Stick.
Currently there are only Windows Builds available. Cause I develop mainly on windows, but linux builds are probably coming soon!
Requirements:
- JRE/JDK 1.8.00 - 25 (Reccomended)

Well every CCTV Workstation has this! Also ive thought about a proper replacement to the SWT Part of the name! I think Simple Watch Terminal would be nice, i still need to think about it tho.
Also some things that changed are:
- You can now choose custom Colors for the background.
- The UI lets you access Fullscreen / Color options via a right click Context Menu

This is a CCTV application , this is essential, well this is another excuse to optimize stuff
Requirements:
- JRE/JDK 1.8.00 - 25 (Reccomended
- Some cameras
JAR / EXE Differences
There arent too many, the exe is only in place to be more "portable" well not really. I dont package the whole JRE yet!
I will in the future, but it's a pain in the ass. Well till then you'll just have to download a JRE or JDK to run this. The application has no differences between the jar version and exe. Its the same thingDownloads:
