Manage your Nx server *from inside* NX server desktop as an ONVIF camera, sessions recorded (RemCam)

Hi all,

Long-time Nx integrator here. I want to share a tool we built for our own
deployments and have now released, because the problem it solves a problem that had us revisiting customers sites: **how do you remotely manage the server that Nx runs on,
without bolting TeamViewer/AnyDesk/VNC onto a security network and then spending time securing it?**

Our answer was to make the server manage-able *through* Nx itself. RemCam is a
single service you install on the Nx server that:

- **Presents the server's own desktop as an ONVIF camera.** Nx records it
 like any camera, so the server's screen becomes a live feed on your layouts. Every management session ends up in the archive as timestamped video. That audit trail is the reason we built it:
 "who changed what on the server, and when" becomes a recording you or your client can audit.
- **A simple "Server Admin" web page in Nx** (created automatically during
 install). Open it from the desktop client and you get full keyboard/mouse
 control of the server, clipboard transfer, Ctrl+Alt+Del, display/resolution
 control — from inside the client your operators already use. No extra VPN, no
 exposed RDP port.
- **Publishes its audit trail as ONVIF events** (`tns1:RemCam/...` — logins,
 failed logins, console control taken/released, config changes, certificate
 events). So you can use ordinary Nx event rules with them — e.g. bookmark the
 recording on every admin login, or raise an alarm if a revoked client
 certificate is presented.

Security model, since that's the first question on a forum like this one: the
console binds to loopback only by default (you reach it through the Nx proxied
web page); exposing it on a network interface is explicit, always HTTPS, and
supports two-factor access — a pinned client certificate at the TLS layer plus
password. No cloud relay; nothing leaves your network. There's a full
security-architecture write-up on the site aimed at security teams.

It's one Go binary, no dependencies. Linux (.deb) is available now and works
with Nx 6; the Windows installer is close behind. Every install starts a 7-day
free trial — no key or card needed — so you can try it on a test server in
about five minutes.

Full disclosure: this is a commercial product (per-server licence, priced
to save you a single trip to site) and I'm the developer. But it grew out
of running real Nx sites, and I'd genuinely value this community's feedback —
especially on the commissioning flow and anything you'd want the ONVIF events
to cover that they don't yet. Happy to answer any technical questions here.
