AsuniCam

Asuni minimalist webcam viewer, powered by Electron

Usage

The first time, if there are more than one camera, a simple list with the detected devices will be shown. Just use numbers (1-9) to select the video input. Its ID will be stored at %APPDATA%/asunicam/config.json.

If you delete this file the software will ask you again when detected multiple video inputs. Anyway you can change the input using numbers (1-9) at any time if the devices are still plugged. When you select a device, the configuration file is updated, so the next time you execute the app the last video device will be used.

Just quit the app with ESCAPE key.

Prerequisites for compile

• Install Node.js (You can use also: scoop install nodejs)

Quick compile & run

At the project root do:

npm install
npm start

Prerequisites for development

Use npm to install following development dependencies (project root). I used Visual Code for debugging.

npm i -D electron@latest
npm install --save electron-config

Build standalone executable

You need all development prerequisites plus electron-packager, install it. The -g option will enable the packager be executed from command line.

npm install electron-packager -g
