CameraTag: Simplified Webcam Video Recording

  1. do you do transcoding at all?
  2. where do the videos live, and in what format?
  3. any size/time limit on the recordings?
  4. you compared with some competitors, but not Tokbox; how is it different?
  5. is your solution dependent on Flash?
  6. is there a demo recorder we can take a look at?

Sorry about the typos in the site copy (we're fixing them now). (this is why we ask for feedback before launching) :). To answer questions:

1. Transcoding. We transcode the videos into h.264 and generate thumbnails. At the PRO level you can have as many outputs as you would like at as many resolutions / frame rates as you want.

2. We will host the videos on AWS for you for free as long as you maintain an account.

3. 5 mins

4. Always think of TokBox as a live streaming service (i.e. video chat) not so much a recording service. I know they allow you to record chats to a server, but it's not their focus and integration is a bit more involved as a result.

5. No. Unfortunately, WebRTC isn;t quite ready for primetime when it comes to recording. As soon as it is- we'll go 100% HTML.

6. The homepage has a recorder built in but the best way to play around is sign up for a free account and put a recorder in you site (no CC necessary to record up to 20 videos)

Thanks for the interest!

CT should work in all major browsers that can run flash. Right now (because of the flash dependency) most mobile devices are not supported. As soon as we get WebRTC polished we'll be 100% HTML and will work in most modern mobile browsers.
