This software provides a user-friendly motion detector.
Video Trigger is a groundbreaking motion detector software that has been created specifically for media artists. This free application allows you to connect a camera and trigger sounds whenever occupancy is detected in six areas of the video image that you can define yourself. With Video Trigger, you have complete control over the playback logic and the signal routing.
This powerful software is designed to provide surround support and is ideal for artists who want to experiment with interactivity without having to create their own custom hardware or software. If you're looking for an easy way to get started with interactivity or you're a beginner looking to experiment with motion triggering, Video Trigger is the perfect choice.
Many of our students have asked us the same question: "How do I make a sound play when somebody does...". Traditional methods involve complex analog electronics, micro-controllers like Arduino, or software like Processing, pd, vvvv, Lily, Isadora or MAX/MSP/Jitter. While these options can lead to greater rewards in the long run, for those with modest needs, Video Trigger provides a painless way to get started with interactivity.
Video Trigger works seamlessly with any Quicktime video input device, including DV camcorders, industrial cameras and the Apple iSight. With the ability to play up to six sound files in AIFF or WAV format, Video Trigger has the capacity for 1-16 channels through any Core Audio sound hardware, giving you complete control over signal routing.
It is important to note, however, that Video Trigger is not a security software and will not be able to notify you via email if someone breaks into your house. There are plenty of other programs designed to address that need. But if you're looking for a reliable and easy-to-use motion detector software to experiment with video installation, then Video Trigger is definitely worth checking out.
