Vidis 1.3

Vidis description

Video surveillance system allowing the remote monitoring of an area using a PC and a webcam, digital camera or camcorder. Images are periodically uploaded to your own website and can be viewed in a web browser from any computer connected to the Internet. Optionally, when motion is detected, images are stored locally and on a remote server where you have webspace or are sent to your email address. Supports most webcams, digital cameras and camcorders connected to a video capture card or an USB port. Continuous monitoring by uploading an image after each user specified interval. Images can be viewed in a web browser from any computer connected to the Internet. Web browser view is automatically and periodically refreshed (selectable refresh interval). Avoids unnecessary bandwidth usage as the connection to the remote server is limited to short periods at selected intervals. Size of website image and web browser refresh rate are adjustable from within the program. Motion detection option: images are stored on local disk or uploaded to remote server only when movement is detected. Sensitivity of motion detection and interval between checks are adjustable to avoid false alerts. User and/or other person can be notified of detected movement by email. If no webspace with FTP access is available the motion detection images can be sent by email. Static motion detection images stored on the local harddisk can be "animated" to recreate movement sequence with adjustable speed. Picture files stored on the remote server can be viewed, downloaded or deleted from within the program. The names of the image files contain the date and the time of the movement detection allowing easy classification. Option to manually take snapshots or make video recordings of the camera view as displayed in the monitor window. Configuration Wizard for quick setup of the program.
