Originally published at Internet.comAmong other products, DeskShare offers video surveillance platforms; including Security Monitor Pro and WebCam Monitor.
- Security Monitor Pro is video surveillance software with support for multiple IP cameras.
Security Monitor Pro can monitor and record from multiple cameras simultaneously, create continuous video recordings, and view multiple cameras in a single window. Each camera has its own individual monitoring and recording settings. When motion is detected, it can send E-mail or SMS (cell phone) alerts, record audio and video, and/or sound an audible alarm. In addition, the software maintains a detailed event log.
Each camera has its own scheduled on/off times. The schedule can be the same each day, different for each day of the week, or include one-time events. The cameras can also start monitoring when the application starts up.
Remote monitoring is supported. All video recordings and snapshots can be automatically uploaded to the FTP server of your choice, either on a regular schedule or as soon as the alarm condition is detected. The program can also stream live video and audio from one camera, which can be viewed from any location over the Internet. E-mail/SMS alerts can include a snapshot showing the cause of the alert.
Security Monitor Pro can monitor and record from multiple IP cameras, in addition to any cameras connected directly to the PC, simultaneously.
- WebCam Monitor turns your PC into a video surveillance system.
Use any camera with WebCam Monitor to detect an intrusion or other unusual activity. When an alarm condition is detected, the program can sound an audible alarm, or quietly send you an E-mail with a snapshot. The alerts can be configured to automatically capture snapshot images, or record video and audio. You can automatically upload your recordings to any FTP location for viewing or storage.
WebCam Monitor can be setup using a wizard to auto-configure the application for common monitoring and alert scenarios. All settings such as alerts, snap and video recordings, or FTP uploading can be turned on and off using the built-in scheduler. All monitoring and alert events are logged with date and time stamps.
Motion detection triggers alerts. You can adjust the sensitivity of the detection, and mask out areas of the camera view to avoid false alarms.
Over 100 camera models are supported with full pan / tilt and digital zoom controls when available. All of the settings can be customized, including the sensitivity of the motion and sound detection, the interval between snapshots, and the way that images are captured and transmitted.Author: Company Rep
