Web camera software detects movement, triggers
alarm, captures snapshots, records video, and sends captured images by email
Webcams
are not bad for more than just making internet communications
more sensible. They can moreover be
an really functional tool
for exploit in residence or organization security.
Software
is now available that can detect activity and use
it as a trigger for various actions.
The way that
it works is to study the image sent by a webcam that is either connected via USB
or via a video capture card for movement. Once it picks up
that motion, it can therefore take any number of actions,
including triggering an alarm.
A more popular application, though, is to either
send live shots of what is happening in the field that is covered by the camera
or to even webcast via live broadcasting accurately what is
happening with both sound and image. If installed furtively,
this software could even be used for covert surveillance.
Given the
large quantity of systems that either have a web camera connected
or can support one, this is an excellent way to inexpensively and easily defend
the spot around that workstation
from invasion or robbery.
I'm using webcam software. I
can broadcast Ip video to view my apartment
from everywhere.
With my new
webcam software, I can run a broadcasting show
of my home visible online. This opens up a group
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 watch what's going on in my room
at any time from a remote viewing computer.
As long as I have the webcamera
running and a remote workstation with Internet access, I can watch the room.
With the application and the webcam, I can change the settings to capture video,
sense 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 advantage of novel technology.
With a capture card,
I can simply transmit appropriate video and screenshots to use on
any pc.
With delicate files on my station
and valuable things in my site,
it only makes sense to have a protection setup that I can supervise whenever I feel that my privacy
is being compromised. If I owned a small firm or lived with roommates, I couldn't imagine
living without it.
Streaming online video and sound from capture card
via camera server software
Surveillance application
If you find yourself with a need to record security video with a webcam over an area,
webcamera
server application
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 webcam may be stored on a hard drive, or if the captured video
needs to be available off-site, can be webcast using the server's streaming
feature to a website.
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 tv signal.
Using a install like this, it is possible to provide a measure of surveillance 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.
