Online proctoring software

[Suryaprakash Kompalli]

I am part of a group that teaches basic computing to students in Govt schools. We are using openEdx to manage our course content. I have setup the course using Hawthorn.2-3 Bitnami AMI on an AWS instance. The team would like to use proctored tests for some of the exams. Our initial requirement is that for some exams, teacher should be able to view the webcam feed from each student. Optionally, we may want to record the feed as well. I have been experimenting if this feature may be available via proctoring in OpenEdx. I have a few questions:

1. On the verification screen, after a student takes photo of the ID, and face, and submits them, we get following message:  Error: Could not submit photos  An error has occurred. Please try again later. Do I need to enable any option on the server side to submit the verification images?
   
2. On the server side, do we need software in addition to what is available in OpenEdx? Is there any documentation on how to setup the proctoring software on the server side?
   
3. Edx support page mentions that clients also need a proctoring software. Are there open source proctoring software options?
