# SuperCam Thermal Viewer: reconstructing QuanLi camera streaming

> SuperCam Thermal Viewer is a cross-platform client for QuanLi/LangChi thermal cameras built from investigation of their proprietary network traffic. It displays 160×120 radiometric infrared frames alongside 1920×1080 H.264 video, while research notes document UDP discovery, TCP control and stream negotiation.
