Web cameras
are usefull for more than just making ip communications
more realistic. They can furthermore be
an extremely effective device
for use in residence or commercial security.
Application
is now accessible that can detect activity and use
it as a trigger for countless events.
The way that
it works is to study the image sent by a webcam that is either connected by USB
or using a video capture card for movement. After it picks up
that movement, it can therefore acquire any number of events,
including triggering an siren.
A more popular software, though, is to either
send live images of what is happening in the scene that is covered by the camera
or to even webcast using online broadcasting exactly what is
happening with both sound and picture. If installed stealthily,
this application could even be used for covert surveillance.
Given the
large quantity of systems that either have a webcam attached
or can support one, this is an perfect way to inexpensively and effortlessly guard
the spot across that pc
from invasion or robbery.
I'm using web camera application. I
can webcast Online video to view my apartment
from anywhere.
With my new
web camera application, I can run a streaming webcast
of my apartment visible from the Internet. This opens up a number
of opportunities, the surface of which has not even been scratched in today's world. I can use
this broadcast for surveillance purposes, allowing me to see what's going on in my home
at any moment from a remote viewing computer.
As long as I have the webcamera
running and a remote workstation with Internet access, I can watch the home.
With the software and the webcam, I can change the settings to capture picture,
detect activity (if I don't want to keep the webcam running at all times),
or use a combination of a online feed and recorded video to realize a protection
system that takes full benefit of modern know-how.
With a capture card,
I can easily transfer appropriate video and screenshots to use on
any pc.
With delicate files on my station
and useful stuff in my home,
it only makes sense to have a protection 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.
