Webcam software senses movement, triggers
alarm, captures snapshots, records video, and sends captured images by e-mail

Web cameras
are perfect for more than just making online communications
more realistic. They can in addition be
an very helpful tool
for exploit in residence or company security.

Application
is now available that can identify movement and use
it as a trigger for numerous actions.


The way that
it works is to study the picture sent by a webcam that is either connected by USB
or via a video capture device for motion. While it picks up
that motion, it can therefore acquire any number of actions,
including triggering an siren.

A more popular application, though, is to either
send live frames of what is happening in the picture that is covered by the webcam
or to even webcast through online streaming exactly what is
happening with both audio and image. If installed secretly,
this software could even be used for clandestine 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 effortlessly defend
the spot across that workstation
from infringement or stealing.

Security application

If you find yourself with a need to record surveillance video with a web camera over an area,

webcamera
server application

may be the right choice for you. Using this application, it is possible to set up a
camera to detect movement and begin recording when 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 broadcast using the server's broadcasting
function to a web 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 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 security.

I'm using webcam application. I
can broadcast Online video to watch my room
from everywhere.

With my new

webcam software, I can run a streaming tv station
of my apartment viewable 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 time from a remote watching pc.

As long as I have the webcam
running and a remote pc with Internet access, I can view the home.
With the application and the webcam, I can change the options to capture picture,
identify movement (if I don't want to keep the webcam running at all times),
or use a mixture of a online feed and recorded video to realize a protection
system that takes full advantage of new technology.

With a capture card,
I can easily move related video and screenshots to use on
any computer.

With delicate data on my workstation
and valuable things in my apartment,
it only makes sense to have a security setup that I can supervise 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.
