Create a homemade video surveillance system with your webcam for monitoring children, pets, or guarding against unwanted visitors. Customize tasks as needed.
If you're looking to create your own personalised video surveillance system, then VideoPeep: Veiled Sight could be the software for you. Utilising your small web-camera, this software has the capabilities to monitor various scenarios, such as your children or pets' movements, or keeping watch for any unwanted visitors while you're out of the house.
While your web-camera takes care of the hardware responsibilities (just ensuring it's hidden enough to avoid being uncovered!), VideoPeep is here to take care of the software side of things. It's designed to be simple yet efficient, providing all the features you'll require for your video surveillance requirements.
With VideoPeep, you have the option to continuously record the camera's signal but this method can quickly fill up your disk space. The software also provides the alternative of a timer. However, the preferred method would be motion detection, which will only record video when the camera detects movement. You can adjust the sensitivity of the motion detector as per your needs. Compression rate, recording frequency and file sizes can also be customised to ensure they meet the required necessities; for example, unique settings can be chosen for a 5-hour-long record to be saved as 5 individual files each with 60 minutes of video.
In addition to these features, VideoPeep includes some cool additional capabilities. The software actively monitors your disk space and ensures that it never dips below 100 MB. VideoPeep also has an inbuilt web server that allows you to view your current camera picture in your web browser, from any computer on your network.
Overall, VideoPeep serves its purpose as an excellent software for your DIY video surveillance system, providing a straight-forward approach and necessary features all in one place.
