Webcam Motion Detector [for PC]

Motion detection and webcam monitoring. Video surveillance with multiple IP cameras and video capture devices. For each video frame, if motion is detected, the Alarm event occurs, that returns a global motion ratio, depending of the number of cells in which motion has been detected, and the level of motion in each cell. A sensitivity grid is applied on video frames. You can adjust the sensitivity of the detection, and mask out areas of the camera view to avoid false alarms. When the camera captures video frames in a dark environment, it is possible that the electrical background noise of the CCD video cell creates fake motion detection events.  It is possible to reduce the sensitivity of to the video noise by enabling the Reduce Video Noise option.

When an alarm condition is detected, the program can sound an audible alarm, or send you an email with a photo. Automatically capture photos, or record video in compressed files. A unique feature of Webcam Motion Detector is the ability to store photo/video files on FTP servers as well as on any local storage device. The enormous advantage of backups on FTP servers: You have access to your data anywhere and at any time.

Webcam Motion Detector includes an advanced player that allows to play video clips, capture video frames and perform frame overlay. Each camera has its own individual monitoring and recording settings. All settings, such as alerts, photos, and video recordings can be turned on and off using the built-in scheduler. All monitoring and alert events are logged with date and time stamps.

Each camera has its own scheduled on(off) times. Building upon the interface options introduced in Microsoft Outlook, scheduler includes event recurrence control and customizable Date Navigator. Access to all data is provided through a well encrypted password. Detected an intruder? Instantly play a sound of a dog barking and send yourself a framegrab directly to your mobile phone. Just as WMD can keep an eye on your home, it can do the same for your workplace. It can then start recording on motion detection and then automatically email or SMS you images of the people who have stolen your computer. Just hook up some webcams (or IP cameras) and leave program running.
