There are very few industries that rely on monitoring as much as banking. Due to a very high vulnerability to frauds, superior surveillance of all computers in the system is required.

ITVDesk helps increase level of transparency in banking system. It turns every computer into a virtual IP camera, streaming computer screen and webcam into your existing VMS or NVR video surveillance system. That way, you can observe activities captured by security camera with activities performed on computer screen simultaneously.

ITVDesk is also used for ATMs. It streams ATM screen and camera into video surveillance system, thus ensuring better protection for your customers. In case of any kind of damage, ITVDesk provides evidence showing both ATM screen and the person using it in real time.

Introduction

The ITVDesk ONVIF IPCam can use your graphics chip (a.k.a. GPU) to accelerate decoding of video streams depending on the graphic card model and operating system. In some cases, it can let the graphic card perform post-processing and rendering of the decoded video. In any case, this frees the main processor (i.e. CPU) of some of the most computationally heavy sub-tasks involved in playing external media source like From File and External IP Camera media playing video.

Activation

To enable hardware accelerated decoding, use the ITVDesk preferences. By default, hardware acceleration is enabled. In ITVDesk version 5.4, you can select which acceleration method you wish to use among those available for your operating system (if any).

ITVDesk for Manufacturing & Production Monitoring

Manufacturing environments depend on precise coordination between machines, operators, and digital control systems. While surveillance cameras monitor production areas, critical processes and decisions take place within industrial software, control panels, and operator workstations.

ITVDesk extends visibility into these digital systems by integrating workstation screens and production interfaces directly into existing video surveillance platforms.

Operational Reality

Modern production lines are controlled through SCADA systems, HMI interfaces, and manufacturing execution systems (MES). Operators continuously monitor machine status, adjust parameters, and respond to real-time events through digital interfaces.

Traditional CCTV systems provide visibility into physical production areas, but do not capture what happens on operator screens or within production control systems.

This disconnect makes it difficult to fully understand incidents, production errors, or inefficiencies.

Key Challenges

No visibility into SCADA, HMI, and MES system activity
Difficulty correlating production events with operator actions
Limited insight into process errors and downtime causes
Complex monitoring across multiple production lines and facilities
Dependence on manual reporting and fragmented data sources

ITVDesk Approach

ITVDesk converts industrial workstations and production system interfaces into ONVIF-compatible video streams, allowing seamless integration into existing VMS and NVR systems.

Stream SCADA, HMI, and MES interfaces into surveillance systems
Record operator actions together with production line activity
Integrate digital monitoring into existing CCTV infrastructure
Enable centralized supervision across multiple production sites
Improve visibility without changing existing production systems

This creates a unified monitoring environment where both physical processes and digital controls can be analyzed together.

Typical Manufacturing Use Cases

Production Line Monitoring – supervise machine control interfaces in real time
Quality Control – track operator actions during production processes
Incident Investigation – analyze system activity during failures or downtime
Process Optimization – identify inefficiencies in workflows and operations
Multi-Plant Monitoring – centralize visibility across multiple facilities

ITVDesk for POS & Retail Monitoring

Retail environments depend on accurate transactions, fast checkout processes, and strong loss prevention. While traditional surveillance systems monitor customers and store areas, critical transaction activity happens on POS terminals and retail software systems.

ITVDesk bridges this gap by integrating POS screens and retail applications directly into existing video surveillance systems, providing full visibility over transactions and operator actions.

Retail Operational Reality

Modern retail operations rely heavily on POS systems, digital payments, and real-time transaction processing. From small stores to large supermarket chains, every transaction is handled through software interfaces that are not visible in standard CCTV systems.

This creates a disconnect between what cameras capture and what actually happens during transactions, refunds, discounts, or manual overrides.

Retailers need a unified view of both customer interaction and POS activity to ensure accuracy, prevent fraud, and improve operational control.

Key Challenges

No visibility into POS transactions and cashier activity
Difficulty correlating video footage with transaction data
High risk of fraud, voids, and unauthorized discounts
Limited tools for investigation across multiple stores
Dependence on manual review and isolated systems

ITVDesk Approach

ITVDesk converts POS terminals and retail systems into ONVIF-compatible video streams, enabling seamless integration into existing VMS and NVR platforms.

Stream POS screens directly into surveillance systems
Record transactions alongside CCTV video
Synchronize cashier actions with camera footage
Enable centralized monitoring across multiple locations
Integrate without additional hardware or complex setup

This allows retailers to monitor every transaction visually and correlate it with real-world activity in real time.

Typical POS & Retail Use Cases

Transaction Monitoring – verify every sale, refund, and discount
Fraud Detection – identify suspicious cashier behavior and anomalies
Loss Prevention – reduce shrinkage through integrated monitoring
Multi-Store Supervision – monitor all POS systems from a central location
Incident Investigation – review synchronized video and transaction activity
Self-Checkout Monitoring – oversee automated checkout systems

Key Capabilities
