This is a software utility that helps detect motion and camera based security setup.
Motion detection and webcam monitoring makes it possible to set up video surveillance with multiple IP cameras and video capture devices. The program monitors each video frame to detect any movement. If motion is detected, the software returns a global motion ratio. The number of cells in which motion was detected, and the level of motion, the tool will generate an alarm. The threshold of level of motion can be set to stop spurious alarms and yet not to overlook security situations. Areas of the camera view can be masked out to avoid false alarms. The program can sound an audible alarm, or send you an email with a photo. A recording of the scene in a compressed format can be initiated when the security event occurs. Automatically capture photos, or record video in compressed files. Effect of noise at low light levels can be adjusted too.
The program includes an advanced player that allows you to play video clips, capture video frames and perform frame overlay. All settings, such as alerts, photos, and video recordings can be turned on and off using the built-in scheduler. Several cameras, with its own individual monitoring and recording settings, can be set up. The scheduler will help fix on and off times of each camera. A logging feature makes it very useful. All monitoring and alert events are logged. Date and time stamps are available for each such event. This is a very good product and if you are looking for a tool like this, this could be it.
