By simply clicking the toolbar button, an updated image or stream from your selected cameras loads instantly, making security and surveillance monitoring simple and accessible.

The extension supports both still image URLs, such as those from Zoneminder's watch window, and streaming formats including webm, ogg, mp4, and more. It also offers features like tabbed display for multiple cameras, customizable target URLs for each camera image, and a dedicated monitor page for continuous viewing. Settings synchronize across all Chrome instances when logged in, ensuring seamless management. This lightweight tool is ideal for users wanting easy-to-access camera monitoring without complex software.
