Checking a CaptureGem Computer Remotely

CaptureGem is a desktop application. The Status column on the Record tab and the live previews on the Monitor tab are its status views; it does not provide a web dashboard for remote management.

If you need to inspect the machine from elsewhere, use a private remote desktop solution that you configure and trust. Keep the computer’s account protected, review what the desktop session shows before sharing it, and avoid exposing recorder ports or local interfaces to the public Internet. The recorder’s local HTTP API has no authentication; for the standalone Linux recorder, the official guide recommends a VPN or an SSH local-forward for remote administration. Remote file access should be limited to the folders you actually need.

When checking a problem, confirm the app is running, check the statuses on the Record tab, open Queue Status (the status dot in the top-right corner) for failed or unfinished recordings, and play a finished recording. A visible “recording” indicator does not prove that the output is healthy. See troubleshooting and file locations.
