This software provides motion detection and webcam monitoring, enabling video surveillance with multiple IP cameras and video capture devices. It functions as a security system for houses, offices, or stores and includes an FTP Option for transferring files to an FTP server.

By using a sensitivity grid on video frames, this software can detect motion and return a global motion ratio. With this ratio, you can determine the number of cells where motion has been detected, and the level of motion in each cell. You can also adjust the sensitivity of detection and even mask out certain areas of the camera view to avoid false alarms.
One of the biggest concerns when relying on motion detection in surveillance footage is the creation of false alarms. This usually occurs when cameras capture video frames in a dark environment, and the electrical background noise of the video cell creates fake motion detection events. However, Webcam Motion Detector provides a solution by allowing you to reduce the sensitivity of video noise through the Reduce Video Noise option.
When the software detects an alarm condition, it can sound an audible alarm or send you an email with a photo. You can also automatically capture photos or record video in compressed files. If you need to transfer files to an FTP server, there is an FTP Option available for that purpose.
The software also includes an advanced player that lets you play video clips, capture video frames, and perform frame overlay. Each camera has its own individual monitoring and recording settings that you can set up easily. You can turn on and off all settings, such as alerts, photos, and video recordings using the built-in scheduler. All monitoring and alert events are logged with date and time stamps.
If you are only using this software for personal use, then you can access all data with a well-encrypted password. If, however, you are using it for your workplace, it can still provide you with the same benefits. You can start recording on motion detection and automatically email or SMS yourself images of the people who have stolen your computer.
With its user-friendly interface and simple setup process, all you have to do is to hook up some webcams or IP cameras and leave the program running. And if you ever detect an intruder, just press a button to instantly play a sound of a dog barking and send yourself a frame grab directly to your mobile phone. Webcam Motion Detector is a reliable and powerful video surveillance software that provides you with an all-round protection and peace of mind.
