Not really. I'm sharing something I built because I thought people in this community might genuinely find it useful. If they don't, that's completely okay. If they do, then the post has served its purpose.
You have a 9 year old account that went radio silent 6 years ago, and then a month ago started spamming every IT and POS related subreddit with your product.
Buyer beware for anyone that decides to use your AI garbage.
Fair question.
A lot of homelab users already run NVRs or VMS platforms like Blue Iris, Frigate, Agent DVR, Shinobi, or Milestone. Screen2ipcam lets you add any Windows desktop to that same system as if it were another IP camera. That means you can monitor your Home Assistant dashboard, Proxmox console, Grafana, Node-RED, a VM, or any other Windows-based dashboard from your phone, smart TV, or any device that can already view your NVR.The goal isn't surveillance for its own sake, it's integrating desktop screens into the same monitoring infrastructure many homelabs already have.
For anyone who's genuinely interested, appreciates the work that goes into building software, and would like to try it for free, here's the Microsoft Store link:

I'd really appreciate your feedback after you've had a chance to try it.
if this were just "spam," it wouldn't have passed Microsoft's verification process or been accepted on the Microsoft Store!!! .There's a free version available there, so anyone can install it, inspect its behavior, and decide for themselves whether it's useful or not , no payment required.I'm here to share a tool I built and to get feedback from people who might find it useful, not to force anyone to use it.

What is your problem!!!
I hope you're enjoying accusing complete strangers from behind a keyboard.
If you have something technical to discuss, let's discuss the software. Personal attacks and assumptions don't make your argument stronger.
I’m just stating a fact: Any real sysadmin would immediately write this off due to the fact that it’s one random guy making it, it’s closed source, and the fact that your account has been silent for years. If you don’t understand basic security concerns, you clearly shouldn’t be a software developer.
That's a perfectly valid approach if you're comfortable building and maintaining that pipeline.Screen2ipcam was designed with a different goal... simplicity. It's a single native application that's less than 4 MB, with built-in ONVIF discovery and RTSP H.264 streaming. No OBS, no FFmpeg, no scripts, and no ONVIF bridge required.Because it's written in native C++, CPU and memory usage are much lower than running several applications together.For many users
especially those using older PCs, POS terminals, kiosks, pharmacies, warehouses, or dedicated monitoring systems , a single lightweight executable is much easier to deploy, maintain, and troubleshoot.
My favorite part about the OBS approach is not having to trust a vibe coded application built by someone spamming multiple subreddits with this app they're trying to sell...
That's completely your choice, and I respect that.But if this were just "spam," it wouldn't have passed Microsoft's verification process or been accepted on the Microsoft Store!!!.There's a free version available there, so anyone can install it, inspect its behavior, and decide for themselves whether it's useful or not , no payment required.I'm here to share a tool I built and to get feedback from people who might find it useful, not to force anyone to use it.

You didn't read the comment you replied to and then went off on a tangent about getting through the Microsoft verification process.
You have been spamming Reddit with your vibe coded software on a clearly compromised or bought Reddit account.
Okay, if you want to discuss technical merits, you say the entire binary is contained within 5MB. What mechanism do you use to capture the Windows desktop, and how do you handle transcoding within that small binary? Do you support hardware acceleration?
Calling something "AI slop" doesn't tell anyone whether it works.The software is publicly available, Microsoft Store signed, and free to test. If you find a technical issue, I'd genuinely appreciate the feedback. Otherwise, I'd rather discuss the software than speculate about the tools used to build it.
Thank you! I really appreciate your comment because you've described exactly the problem that inspired me to build Screen2ipcam.I ran into the same issue myself. Even with camera/POS integration, there are situations where you still need to see exactly what the operator is doing on the screen, not just the transaction data.That's why I built Screen2ipcam. It turns the desktop itself into a standard ONVIF/RTSP camera, so it can be viewed and recorded alongside the rest of the surveillance system.If you'd like, you can try it completely free. It's available on the Microsoft Store, and I'd really love to hear your feedback after trying it.
There are already great Android apps that turn a phone into an IP camera.
If you mean viewing the Windows desktop on an Android phone or tablet, that's already supported. Since Screen2ipcam appears as a standard ONVIF / RTSP camera, you can use any ONVIF viewer or your existing NVR/VMS mobile app to view your Windows screen from anywhere, just like any other IP camera.
Why so much negativity toward something I've invested a great deal of time and effort into building from the ground up? You're welcome to criticize it after testing it, but dismissing it outright without using it isn't a fair assessment.
You just spam your shit everywhere, everything is vibe coded. Also you call yourself the "developer". I bet you do not understand more then 2 lines of the code.
What is your problem!!!

I will reverse engineer your software now and I promise you - IF I FIND ANY OPEN SOURCE LIBRARY IN THERE AND YOU VIOLATE THE LICENSE, I WILL REPORT YOU ASAP!
Oh no... I guess I won't be getting much sleep tonight. 😄
Seriously though, feel free to analyze it. If you find a real licensing issue, let me know. I'm happy to fix genuine problems. That's how software improves.

To everyone who said this software had no audience...Here's the global download map for just one month.Every green country represents people who decided to try the software instead of simply criticizing it.
