Day-to-Day Operations
After setup CamGrabber needs no routine attention. This page covers what an operator interacts with when something does need a look.
Tray interface
CamGrabber lives in the system tray. The tray menu gives access to:
-
Camera settings — per-frame camera bindings (see Camera Settings).
-
CamGrabber settings — capture delay, upload size and timeout.
-
Logs — the application log window.
-
Reset settings — wipes the local configuration; the grabber returns to the first-run wizard.
-
Exit — stops the grabber.
The main window shows connection indicators for the server, the player and each camera stream (see Connection indicators).
Background behavior
-
CamGrabber starts minimized on boot — it never pops a window over the screen content.
-
Only one instance runs at a time; launching a second copy has no effect.
Logs and crash dumps
CamGrabber rotates its own logs and crash dumps.
Open the log window from the tray menu, or collect the files when reporting an issue to support.
Checking the version
On Windows the installed version is visible in the executable’s Properties → Details (see Checking the installed version).
On Linux query the package manager: apt policy cityscreen-camgrabber.
