Livecam frontend updates

On October 22, 2021, we launched our new Livecam frontend applications for desktop + mobile devices, introducing a whole new level of interactive 360° webcam experience. Since then, we have continually improved and perfected our frontend and backend applications.

 

Our customers often use our backend CMS to adapt the livecam tools, manage the images in the database or to distribute them via social media.
We have updated our CMS tutorial to reflect all recent programming updates.
The new CMS tutorials are available here:

Roundshot Livecam CMS Tutorial English [pdf, 1.3 MB]

Roundshot Livecam CMS Tutorial Deutsch [pdf, 1.3 MB]

Roundshot Livecam CMS Tutorial Français [pdf, 1.6 MB]

 

For desktop computers + laptops, our html5 website loads the image in full screen display and allows for quick navigation, quick zooming and browsing.

 

For example, if you use a smartphone or tablet computer with a lower screen resolution, our responsive web design loads the mobile version with more compact graphics and touch-enabled control elements.

Would you like to enjoy the Roundshot images without a browser? Install our Roundshot Livecam app for quick access to hundreds of customer cameras (Roundshot Livecam app) or to all Roundshot cameras worldwide (Roundshot Livecam global):

                                  

 

Here is a summary of the advantages of the new frontend tools:

  • Desktop + mobile browsing on a common platform: no redirects to a mobile website (.co)
  • much faster loading of web pages, faster browsing in the archive and archive-related functions
  • from mobile experience to desktop: a fresh, new design, compatible with our mobile apps
  • New mobile browser application with a complete feature set - like our mobile apps - loads automatically for devices with lower screen resolution
  • new libraries for Canvas + Middleware, compatible with future browsers
  • additional features such as
    • individual logo when loading the website
    • Ability to enable/disable all menu functions
    • Navigation between cameras using current 35mm images
    • GPS position with link to google maps
    • Height information per camera
    • Contact details respond to touch for direct interaction (phone calls, emails, card)
    • Expansion of the “best shot” gallery limitation (now also more than 20 panoramas)
    • new camera status information for embedding small images, calculated based on individual camera working times
