Ultra Alternative IP Cam Video Watching

The program has been created as general application for surveillance hybrid platforms functioning at the same time with wireless and wired Internet webcams, Television-boards, capture boards, power-line, and USB webcams. It has web interface with the similar look and controls on the local and distant workstations. Users view MPEG coded picture and have full control of the program via network that security server can be operated without monitor, keyboard, and mouse attached. Software`s modular configuration drastically boosts reliability because all units operate as independent applications. If one module fails, other components continue running. For example if the `capture` component stops working, `watchdog` restarts it right away that users don`t notice anything because they are watching video through a `playback` module. The software makes `cyclic` recording that the `hard drive full` situation never happens. The recording can be constant or it can be initiated by motion, human face detection, or by calendar. The program has pre-alarm and post-alarm recording. Playing back recorded video is pretty simple and performs on the surveillance pc as well as on distant station via Web interface. The software does synchronized video playback for event analysis from multiple cameras concurrently. Also recorded information can be searched by date, time or by face detected. All recorded files can be encrypted and password protected.
