This surveillance software enables remote monitoring of video feeds from webcams, digicams, or camcorders. It facilitates periodic automatic uploads to a user's website and allows viewing via a web browser. It features motion detection and saves images locally, remotely or via email. The software can even recreate motion from static images. A Setup Wizard assists users with the installation and configuration process.
This software supports most webcams, digital cameras and camcorders connected to a video capture card or USB port. Continuous monitoring is enabled by uploading an image after each user specified interval. The images can be viewed in a web browser from any computer connected to the internet at an adjustable refresh rate. This feature saves bandwidth as the connection to the remote server is limited to short periods at selected intervals. The size of the website image and web browser refresh rate are also adjustable from within the program.
The motion detection option in this software is highly advanced. The images are stored on a local disk or uploaded to a remote server only when movement is detected. Sensitivity of motion detection and the interval between checks can be adjusted to avoid false alerts. The user and/or other individuals can be notified of detected movement by email. If no webspace with FTP access is available, the motion detection images can be sent by email. The static motion detection images stored on the local hard disk can be animated to recreate a movement sequence with adjustable speed. Picture files stored on the remote server can be viewed, downloaded, or deleted from within the program. Furthermore, the names of the image files contain the date and time of the movement detection allowing easy classification.
Finally, there is an option to manually take snapshots or make video recordings of the camera view as displayed in the monitor window. The Configuration Wizard ensures quick setup of the program for users, making it effortless to get started.
Overall, this software is an exceptional video surveillance tool that provides multiple functionalities to make remote surveillance easy and hassle-free.
