A Windows PC screen — live in your NVR, right next to your real cameras.
🌐 Official site — magicweb.win
Screen2ipcam runs on a Windows PC and publishes its screen, a single window, or a webcam as a standard ONVIF Profile S camera with an H.264 RTSP stream (main + sub). Your NVR or VMS — Dahua, Hikvision, Milestone, Genetec, Nx Witness, Blue Iris — discovers it like any other IP camera and records it. No HDMI encoder, no capture hardware, no extra PC.
…and any other NVR / VMS / player that speaks standard ONVIF or RTSP.
Anywhere you'd like a screen visible inside your existing surveillance system:

"Screen2ipcam essentially turns your computer into an IP camera." Your computer is then recognized as such by your NVR, enabling you to monitor your security footage and computer screen from the same place, with the program facilitating this workflow through a straightforward setup process.
Stream your screen like an IP camera — "Although turning your computer screen into an IP camera sounds like a complicated thing to do, that's not the case here. The software makes the whole process easy to go through, so you should be able to stream your screen within minutes of setting up the app. The connection to your surveillance device is handled via ONVIF … you can always input the RTSP address into VLC or a compatible player to check if the stream is active."
Comes with several options for customization — "The program uses H.264 as the main codec, with options for tweaking resolution, frame rate, and bit rate … you can also opt for different RTSP and ONVIF ports from the app or web portal."

Which NVRs and software does it work with?
Any system that supports ONVIF or RTSP. Tested with Dahua, Hikvision, Blue Iris and Agent DVR; standard ONVIF/RTSP means enterprise VMS platforms (Milestone, Genetec, Nx Witness…) ingest it too.
How long is the trial?
14 days, fully functional. A license unlocks the full version — no watermark and no time limit.
Which Windows versions are supported?
Windows 7 SP1 through Windows 11, both 32-bit and 64-bit — including Windows IoT / Embedded / POSReady. No .NET or extra runtimes needed.
Why does Windows warn about the direct installer?
The direct EXE is native and not code-signed yet, so SmartScreen may flag it as unknown (a false positive — it's safe to keep). For a zero-warning install, use the Microsoft Store edition, which is signed by Microsoft.
How do I get my license after paying?
Send your Device ID (from the app's License tab) via the contact form or email. We generate and send your license file, usually within hours. Each license activates one PC, locked to its Device ID.
How do I uninstall it?
Settings → Apps, or the Uninstall Screen2ipcam shortcut. It asks for the program password (default admin / admin) — so a casual user can't remove it from a deployed PC. Forgot the password? Click Forgot password? on the web-panel login and email the Device ID to support@magicweb.win for a reset code.
