What is a Fotowebcam? A photo webcam is a digital single-lens reflex camera (DSLR) or mirrorless system camera (DSLM) that has been converted into a webcam. Technically speaking, these cameras have a larger image sensor than a conventional IP webcam. Therefore, a photo webcam is still far superior to an IP webcam in terms of image sharpness, clarity, and detail. Not to mention the often significantly higher resolution. Thanks to long exposure, photo webcam systems deliver color images even in the lowest ambient light and at night. With the aid of the moon, breathtaking images are repeatedly created that immediately reveal the difference to an IP camera. For more than 10 years, we have poured our passion into this product. Over the years, we have acquired expert knowledge in photography, electrical engineering, energy technology, network technology, web development, and server administration, and incorporated it into this product. This allows us to operate photo webcam systems even in extreme locations and without infrastructure. Since this is our own product and we have not built up any complicated distribution structures, we can offer these systems very competitive prices and first-hand access to this technology for everyone.

Who do we recommend a photo webcam for? Static subjects (panoramic shots) in particular benefit greatly from this technique due to its high resolution, image fidelity, and long exposure capabilities in challenging lighting conditions. Whether for classic panoramas or long-term documentation, we recommend a photo webcam in every case. Even in locations without a power supply, we have developed our own sleep technology to operate such a system autonomously as a standalone solution with minimal material requirements.

Several years ago, due to high demand, we expanded our product range to include a live streaming platform. This allows our customers to publish a true live stream on the internet. Animal observation projects, in particular, have increased significantly, but ski lift operators also appreciate this technology because it conveys the dynamic nature of the event to viewers at a glance (e.g., whether the slope or lift is open). This is also reflected in the access statistics; prime locations with live webcam systems consistently receive the highest number of hits at the right time.

The technology in detail: In principle, this technology works with almost any camera, meaning our customers can usually go live with an existing camera. Only a small mini-computer containing our live streaming software needs to be on the same network as the camera. The mini-computer transmits the camera's live stream to our live platform. From there, the live stream can be made publicly available. Of course, we can also supply a suitable camera if needed.

PTZ-Cameras (360°): If the camera is a pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) model, it is of course possible to execute any desired pan. Depending on the available bandwidth, this works in high resolution and, depending on the camera, also in very appealing image quality. However, please note: The live stream is continuously transmitted over the internet. Even if the bandwidth is theoretically sufficient, data transmission bottlenecks or congestion can occur in the local network and affect the live stream. This is due to the fundamental structure of the internet and the paths of data packets from node to node. In locations with insufficient bandwidth, it is possible to periodically record and display a camera pan instead of a live stream. This guarantees consistent image quality.

Video Surveillance Solutions: Should you require private camera surveillance, please contact us! We have already installed over 100 surveillance solutions, ranging in size from small to large, for our clients. Our customers include mountain railways, ski lifts, amusement parks, municipal utilities, power plants, equestrian facilities, hotels, other commercial clients, and private individuals. We also offer a range of compatible monitors.
