Web camera software identifies movement, sounds
siren, captures images, records video, and sends captured images by email
Web cameras
are good for more than just making online conversations
more realistic. They can also be
an very practical device
for use in house or business protection.
Software
is now accessible that can sense motion and use
it as a trigger for different procedures.
The way that
it works is to study the image sent by a webcam that is either connected via USB
or using a video capture device for movement. When it picks up
that movement, it can therefore acquire any number of procedures,
including triggering an alarm.
A more popular software, though, is to either
send live frames of what is happening in the scene that is covered by the webcam
or to even broadcast via live streaming accurately what is
happening with both sound and image. If installed covertly,
this software could even be used for secret surveillance.
Given the
large amount of devices that either have a webcamera connected
or can support one, this is an excellent way to inexpensively and easily guard
the region around that workstation
from invasion or stealing.
Streaming live video and audio from capture device
through camera server software
Surveillance application
If you find yourself with a need to record surveillance video with a camera 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 motion 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 webcast using the server's broadcasting
function to a site.
Depending on the quality of the webcam and the viewer's video card, the picture that is recorded may be as clear as a high-definition tv signal.
Using a setup like this, it is possible to provide a measure of surveillance for an area while
the economics of the situation do not justify hiring a security business or setting up a professional monitoring system.
This
do-it-yourself approach
can save money while not compromising on protection.
I'm using camera application. I
can webcast Ip video to watch my home
from anyplace.
With my new
webcam application, I can run a streaming tv station
of my site viewable from the Internet. This opens up a league
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 computer with Online access, I can view the site.
With the software and the camera, I can change the settings to capture video,
identify activity (if I don't want to keep the webcam 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 recent technology.
With a capture card,
I can easily transmit relevant video and screenshots to use on
any station.
With sensitive files on my workstation
and useful things in my site,
it only makes sense to have a security 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.
