Video Surveillance - Watcher is an intelligent webcam software. It monitors your home or office 24 hours a day, captures motion event using webcam, saves into compressed video clips with audio and triggers various alerts including ftp upload, email or phone. It also has camera image broadcasting capability, which can publish your webcam on a remote website or Watcher's embedded web server. Watcher can run in stealth mode, it can also be scheduled, or run as an NT service. RemoteView is an additional free tool that can connect to Watcher via a telephone line (modem) or internet (TCP/IP). It enables you to do remote video surveillance from anywhere in the world by real time video/audio streaming.
Watcher is the only webcam software that combines three features seamlessly: motion monitoring, remote video surveillance and webcam broadcasting!
Lots of other webcam software only capture images at certain interval, while Watcher software captures true video clips up to 640x480 frame size, and you can even enable audio capturing!
The video log files produced by Watcher are well compressed to much less than 1% of its original size, and yet, the quality is guaranteed!
The events are completely logged, from the very beginning of or even seconds before the motion detection. A lot of surveillance software only start logging after motion is detected, therefore fail to log down the triggering event that happens in the first few seconds.
You can access the video log files remotely, and be informed any event happened at your home instantly without having to rush home.
