emptech 0 Posted September 27, 2018 For a volunteer group, I'm setting up a donated Sony SNC-R225N camera on top of a 40 foot mast. I'm able to use the Sony Toolbox to setup the camera via the lan. I am looking for a free or low cost NVR program to control the camera. Although the toolbox will control the camera, it is mainly a setup tool. I need something that will show the image on a full or windowed screen, provide the PTZ controls, and provide some recording capability. I've tried a couple free programs and for whatever reason, the programs cannot find the camera on the same net. I've tried Contacam. I have no reason to use a hardware NVR in this case. Update: Tried a program ISpy, sees the camera, it works. I don't see a focus control, so far, PTZ, can record video, basically works, it's a start. Are there better recommendations though?
