The record

Purpose: CAM monitors Windows PCs and controls compatible NZXT hardware.
Monitoring: It shows real-time CPU, GPU, memory, and storage readouts, temperature graphs, and utilization.
Desktop overlay: Mini mode docks a compact monitoring overlay to the desktop.
Kraken LCD: For Kraken LCDs, CAM can display uploaded GIFs and images, live temperature or load readouts, and a built-in visualizer.
Web integrations: CAM can render preset or user-provided webpages on Kraken displays, including custom community integrations.
Integration development: NZXT says developers can build Kraken web integrations with HTML, CSS, or JavaScript and access CAM monitoring data through its API.
Compatible hardware: Depending on the device, CAM can control NZXT fans, RGB lighting, Kraken LCDs, and other supported NZXT products.
Windows support: CAM supports Windows 10 and Windows 11; Windows 7 and 8.1 are no longer supported, and NZXT says it has no plans for macOS or Linux versions.
Fan-control limit: CAM needs an NZXT fan controller to change fan speeds; without one, it can still monitor the system.
RGB limit: CAM does not control RAM or GPU RGB; it controls NZXT device lighting and standard RGB accessories connected to an NZXT motherboard.
Data collection: NZXT says CAM sends anonymized usage and performance data when online, and users can turn this off in CAM Settings.
Privacy details: NZXT’s privacy policy says CAM may collect system configuration, component details, installed games and applications, and software usage metrics.
Support: NZXT directs users to its Support Center and request form for help.
Intended users: NZXT describes CAM as free monitoring for any Windows PC, with additional controls available to users with compatible NZXT hardware.
