I'm using web camera software. I
can webcast Internet video to watch my home
from anyplace.
With my new
webcam application, I can run a broadcasting webcast
of my apartment viewable online. This opens up a group
of opportunities, the surface of which has not even been scratched in today's world. I can use
this broadcast for surveillance purposes, allowing me to watch what's going on in my apartment
at any time from a remote watching pc.
As long as I have the web camera
running and a remote station with Online access, I can watch the site.
With the application and the camera, I can change the settings to capture picture,
identify movement (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 realize a protection
system that takes full benefit of recent know-how.
With a capture card,
I can easily move related video and screenshots to use on
any pc.
With delicate files on my station
and priceless 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 business or lived with roommates, I couldn't imagine
living without it.
Modern professional surveillance software works with
any camera, IP cameras, and major capture cards.
Security software
has become so difficult that the normal
consumer who has been busy minding his store instead of pouring over electronics and ip
technology articles can be easily overwhelmed when it comes time to setup or modernize his security system.
Luckily, 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 CCTV system in order to renew to a broadcasting
video that can be monitored from any online connected workstation or 3G phone. Video capture cards can digitally convert the
snapshots for broadcast. Until yesterday, there had been no real attempts to regulate the new IP
cameras; every make and manufacturer functioned a tiny differently. And when you put webcams into the
mix, finding one application to control them all was cumbersome.
Professional security software
is now available that will work for any web camera
or IP camera and for most capture cards as well. You can supervise whatever your movement
sensors are picking up at your home or business while you can be half a world away.
The application itself may not be easy, but it can get life simpler for you.

If you find yourself with a need to record surveillance video with a camera over an area,
webcam
computer application
may be the right choice for you. Using this application, it is possible to set up a
camera to detect motion and begin recording when 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 web 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 setup like this, it is possible to provide a measure of protection for an area while
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.
