iCatcher is a comprehensive digital CCTV surveillance software that detects motion and alerts users via email, SMS, or FTP. With remote playback and device control, it can be scaled from single-camera to multiple-server enterprise installations for a complete solution.
One of the standout features of iCatcher Console is the Events system, which allows central monitoring and alerting. The system also supports a wide range of camera devices, including the latest H.264 IP Network cameras, IP Video servers, capture cards, and even USB cameras. The modular design of iCatcher Console means that you are not limited to one type of device for the whole system - you can mix devices as required.
iCatcher Console also supports full frame rate recording with audio from a range of H.264 cameras, even at megapixel resolutions, along with time lapse recording and preemptive and post event recording. What's more, iCatcher Console works with PTZ cameras to provide a remotely controllable CCTV camera that provides auto-tracking - the camera can move to follow movement through a monitored area.
Another impressive feature of iCatcher Console is its motion detection capabilities. Motion detection is performed without the need for PIR triggers and external motion detectors. Once motion is detected, recording begins. For extra security, iCatcher can record before and after the motion event to ensure you capture everything.
iCatcher Console supports I/O input and control through a variety of interfaces, including X10 home automation, allowing almost any remote control configuration. An IO scheduler is also included for complete automation control. The flexibility and simplicity of the user interface is available remotely, requiring only a web browser to use. Full live viewing, playback, PTZ and IO control are all available remotely.
To sum it up, iCatcher Console is an impressive CCTV system that provides a broad range of features that exceed expectations for modern digital CCTV systems. Its versatility, ease of use and advanced features make it an excellent choice for home and business security.
