Management portal
All your photo booths at a glance, plus commands such as a restart or a message on the screen.
For operators
Remote management: keep an eye on the booth from anywhere
A rented photo booth often runs all evening without its operator. Portal, status email and webhook tell you how it is doing and let you step in remotely. All of it is part of RAWCaptureBooth itself, no extra software needed.
Four tools, none of them required
Remote access
Open the booth's admin area in the browser as if you were standing in front of it.
Status email
A regular report to your inbox, and on request an email of its own for every fault.
Status webhook
The status as JSON to an address of your own, for your website or your own system.
All four need an internet connection at the booth. The booth itself keeps running without one.
Management portal
In the browser at portal.rawcapturebooth.app, with a free account.
- Status per booth: is it running, which event is loaded, network and uptime
- Counters for sessions and prints, printers, camera battery and errors
- Commands: restart the software or Windows, reset counters, show a message, start remote support
- Status and counters are reported, never images
Connect a booth to the portal
- Create an accountCreate a free account in the portal.
- Turn on remote managementAt the booth, in the admin area under "Network & remote management".
- Send a test reportThe portal only knows the booth after its first report.
- Enter the keyCopy the setup key and paste it in the portal under "Add photo booth".
The booth picks up commands from the portal the next time it reports, every 30 seconds by default. Instead of the portal you can also use your own web server.
Remote access to the interface
The booth's admin area opens in the browser, even behind a venue's Wi-Fi or a mobile router, without VPN and without port forwarding. Swap a layout or check a printer without driving there.
Set up in the portal
At the booth there is just one switch. Access is tied to your portal login.
The booth's files
Choose target folders, USB sticks and backups on the booth as if you were sitting at it.
Events via your laptop
Download an event to your own device and upload it to the next booth, no USB stick on site.
Status by email
A report at the interval you set, from every 5 minutes to once a day. Checkboxes decide what it contains.
- Sessions, prints and printer status, per printer in a printer pool
- AI portraits with guests' waiting time and a warning when it gets too long
- Wireless buzzers with connection and battery, pending outbox jobs
- Prize draw winners and the errors since the last report
- Your own label such as "Booth 2 – mirror" in the subject when running several booths
Report errors immediately
A fault triggers an email of its own straight away, and once everything runs again, an all-clear with start and duration. Faults include a printer out of paper, a wireless buzzer without connection, a LightControl outside its temperature limits or a camera that does not fire, with the cause in plain words, such as a full memory card.
A fault is only reported when two checks in a row show the same. A brief glitch does not trigger an email.
Status webhook
The booth reports its status at regular intervals to an address of your own, as signed JSON with the same values the portal shows. The portal is not needed for this.
On your website
Show whether the booth is in use right now and how many photos have been taken.
Your own overview
Track several booths in a system you already use.
Notifications
Via home automation or chat when paper runs low or a booth stops reporting.
Billing
Record counters, for example to bill the customer.
