How to Convert CCCam to NCam

Complete guide with examples and troubleshooting

What is CCCam?

CCCam (Control Center for Conditional Access Modules) is a popular card-sharing protocol used in satellite TV reception. It allows sharing of subscription cards across multiple receivers over a network.

CCCam lines typically follow this format: C: hostname port username password

What is NCam/OSCam?

NCam and OSCam are open-source conditional access software that can connect to CCCam servers and other card-sharing protocols. They're more flexible, actively maintained alternatives to CCCam.

NCam is a fork of OSCam with additional features and updates. Both use the same configuration format, so this converter works for both.

Quick Start Guide

  1. Paste your CCCam lines in the input box using the format: C: host port user pass
  2. The tool automatically converts them to NCam reader configuration
  3. Click Copy to clipboard or Download to get your NCam config file
  4. Paste the output into your ncam.server file
  5. Restart NCam/OSCam to apply changes

Example Conversion

CCCam Input:

C: server.example.com 12000 user123 pass456

NCam Output:

[reader]
label      = server_example_com_12000
protocol   = cccam
device     = server.example.com,12000
user       = user123
password   = pass456
enable     = 1
