Web camera software senses activity, triggers
siren, captures images, records video, and sends captured images by e-mail
Webcams
are fine for more than just making ip communications
more practical. They can furthermore be
an enormously practical tool
for use in house or industry security.
Application
is now available that can detect activity and use
it as a trigger for several procedures.
The way that
it works is to analyze the image sent by a webcam that is either attached by USB
or via a video capture card for motion. After it picks up
that motion, it can afterward acquire any number of events,
including triggering an alarm.
A more popular application, though, is to either
send live frames of what is happening in the picture that is covered by the camera
or to even webcast using live broadcasting accurately what is
happening with both sound and picture. If installed furtively,
this application could even be used for secret surveillance.
Given the
large amount of devices that either have a webcamera attached
or can support one, this is an excellent way to inexpensively and easily guard
the spot around that workstation
from infringement or robbery.
Broadcasting live video and sound from capture device
through web camera computer application
Surveillance application
If you find yourself with a need to record security video with a camera over an area,
web camera
computer application
may be the right choice for you. Using this software, it is possible to set up a
camera to detect movement 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 accessible off-site, can be broadcast 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 security for an area when
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 security.
I'm using camera software. I
can broadcast Internet video to watch my room
from anyplace.
With my new
camera application, I can run a broadcasting broadcast
of my room viewable online. This opens up a league
of opportunities, 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 home
at any moment from a remote watching pc.
As long as I have the webcamera
running and a remote pc with Internet access, I can watch the apartment.
With the software and the webcam, I can change the options to capture picture,
detect motion (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 security
system that takes full advantage of modern know-how.
With a capture card,
I can simply transfer appropriate video and screenshots to use on
any computer.
With sensitive data on my computer
and expensive things in my apartment,
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 company or lived with roommates, I couldn't imagine
living without it.
