I'm using webcam software. I
can broadcast Online video to watch my apartment
from anywhere.
With my new
webcamera software, I can run a
broadcasting webcast
of my home visible from the Internet. This opens up a league
of possibilities, the surface of which has not even been scratched in today's world. I can use
this webcast for surveillance purposes, allowing me to see what's going on in my site
at any time from a remote watching pc.
As long as I have the camera
running and a remote pc with Online access, I can watch the site.
With the software and the camera, I can change the options to capture picture,
detect activity (if I don't want to keep the camera running at all times),
or use a mixture of a live feed and recorded video to implement a protection
system that takes full benefit of modern know-how.
With a capture card,
I can simply transfer related video and screenshots to use on
any station.
With sensitive data on my station
and expensive belongings in my home,
it only makes sense to have a protection setup that I can monitor whenever I feel that my privacy
is being compromised. If I owned a small business or lived with roommates, I couldn't imagine
living without it.
New professional protection application works with
any camera, IP cameras, and major capture cards.
Surveillance software
has become so complicated that the average
user who has been busy minding his business instead of pouring over electronics and online
know-how articles can be easily overwhelmed when it comes time to install or modernize his security system.
Fortunately, there is new professional surveillance software that simplifies much of the decision making.
You don't necessarily have to get rid of a working analog closed
circuit TV system in order to renew to a streaming
video that can be watched from any
online connected workstation or 3G phone. Video capture cards can digitally convert the
pictures for broadcast. Until yesterday, there had been no real attempts to standardize the new Internet
cameras; every make and manufacturer functioned a little differently. And when you throw cameras into the
mix, using one software to rule them all was heavy.
Professional security application
is now available that will work for any webcam
or Internet camera and for most capture cards as well. You can monitor anything your activity
sensors are picking up at your residence or company while you can be half a globe away.
The software itself may not be easy, but it can make life simpler for you.
Security application
If you find yourself with a need to
record surveillance video with a webcam over an area,
webcam
server software
may be the right choice for you. Using this software, it is possible to set up a
camera to detect activity and begin recording once it does.
Depending on your needs, the sights and sounds that are picked up by the camera may be stored on a hard drive, or if the captured video
needs to be available off-site, can be broadcast using the server's streaming
feature to a site.
Depending on the quality of the camera and the viewer's video card, the picture that is recorded may be as clear as a high-definition television signal.
Using a install like this, it is possible to provide a measure of protection for an area when
the economics of the situation do not justify hiring a security firm or setting up a professional monitoring system.
This
do-it-yourself approach
can save money while not compromising on security.
