Web camera software senses movement, triggers
alarm, captures snapshots, records video, and sends captured images by e-mail
Webcams
are usefull for more than just making online communications
more practical. They can also be
an enormously useful tool
for exploit in home or company protection.

Software
is now available that can identify movement and use
it as a trigger for several events.
The way that
it works is to study the picture sent by a camera that is either connected via USB
or through a video capture card for motion. After it picks up
that motion, it can afterward take any number of procedures,
including triggering an alarm.
A more popular application, though, is to either
send live frames of what is happening in the field that is covered by the camera
or to even broadcast by live streaming precisely what is
happening with both audio and picture. If installed secretly,
this software could even be used for stealthy surveillance.
Given the
large amount of devices that either have a web camera attached
or can support one, this is an perfect way to inexpensively and easily protect
the spot around that property
from intrusion or burglary.
Streaming online video and sound from capture device
using camera server software
Surveillance software
If you find yourself with a need to record security video with a webcam over an area,
web camera
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 accessible 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 security 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 protection.
I'm using webcam application. I
can webcast Online video to view my room
from everywhere.
With my new
webcamera application, I can run a broadcasting tv station
of my site visible from the Internet. 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 see what's going on in my site
at any moment from a remote viewing station.
As long as I have the webcam
running and a remote workstation with Internet access, I can watch the room.
With the software and the camera, I can change the settings to capture picture,
detect movement (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 realize a security
system that takes full advantage of modern technology.
With a capture card,
I can simply transmit relevant video and screenshots to use on
any station.
With delicate data on my station
and valuable property in my home,
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.
