Want to construct a simple visible doorbell system with your Webcam and computer simply? If you need some basic surveillance for your home or small business but can't afford a professional system? A Webcam surveillance software may be the right choice. There is a powerful and popular Webcam surveillance utility I will show you. That is CamUniversal, which came from Marc Schneider. Following are the general introductions of this webcam surveillance system. Follow me and experience the benefits and advantages of it now!

CamUniversal is the ultimate solution for all of our video demands. It supports Webcams, Netcams (IP-Cams), and all video devices which are working with an up to date driver for Windows. Additional it includes a network server client functionality to send the video from all cameras from one server PC to all connected client PCs. For professional and private surveillance purposes there is a built-in motion detector which has numerous functions. We could select which areas of the video are tested for motion, in which time range, on which days, and in which intervals. The functions which are started at detection are: video recording (with timestamp), picture capturing, external program execution, log file creation, sound playing, FTP transfer, and e-mail sending. Additional there is a scheduler working for all further video demands. The key functions and advantages of this video surveillance package include:

CamUniversal supports NetCams (IP-Cams) which are accessible through their IP-address. These are cameras within our LAN, WAN or from the Internet. CamUniversal supports Netcams running in the still picture mode and Netcams which are streaming their video in the motion-JPEG (MJPEG) and in the MPEG-4 format!

CamUniversal supports WebCams and additional video devices like TV Tuner, grabber/capture cards, etc. These cameras are mostly direct connected to the PC via USB, parallel port or built-in. If we are using several USB devices parallel, please know, that the USB bandwidth is the limit. Use active USB hubs in critical cases!

CamUniversal supports RemoteCams - These are all cameras which are receiving their video from a further instance of CamUniversal (CamLAN or CamPermanent). With the integrated Video Network it is possible to send and receive the video from all cameras which are running at a further instance of CamUniversal. All cameras of the first two categories could be a RemoteCam. So we could view all webcams connected to PC1 on all PCs connected to our network.

For professional and privat surveillance purposes there is a built-in motion detector available which has numerous functions. We can select which areas of the video picture are tested for motion and select in which time range, on which days, in which intervals etc. the detector should work. Then create several jobs for the motion detector which works with different settings by day, by night, weekdays, on the weekend. We can also select the functions which should be activated at detection of motion: email sending; FTP files uploading; video recording; external program execution; picture capturing; sound playing; protocol generation; displaying the video window fullscreen; showing the video window and so on.

Additional there is a scheduler working for all further video demands. The scheduler works in all selectable time ranges and intervals, with so many functions, that every demand is fulfilled! For example we could create a scheduler job, which runs from 8:00 to 11:00 and captures every 10 sec. a picture, additional create a job which FTP uploads all pictures and files from a selectable directory every day at 11:30. For each camera there could be unlimited jobs and each job has his own settings and functions! All cameras and all functions are working simultaneous! The motion detector runs parallel to the scheduler. Easily could the video picture of all cameras be uploaded in intervals to a webpage and additional all cameras within a company's LAN could work as a surveillance system!

With CamUniversal all pictures could be captured in different formats ( JPG, BMP, GIF, PNG, TIFF ). The picture resolution could be the original resolution or a custom resolution. The picture could be colored, grayscale, black and white, with time, date or text output, with an overly logo image, with transparency or not. The picture filename could be built from a custom selected text, the current time, the current date and/or a number!

CamUniversal uses the DirectShow component of DirectX for the video recording. So we could use all in our system installed video and audio codecs and all installed video and audio devices for the video recording. Additional CamUniversal supports a timestamp into the video. This timestamp could be the current time/date a usertext and additional a logo bitmap.

With the integrated AVI Creator we can generate videos from single images. For example we can capture single images from our camera every 30sec. through the whole day and create a video from all images showing the day in fast motion. Or we can observe the sky, capture an image every minute and generate a video showing the movement of the clouds!

With the integrated Webserver all camera videos are accessible through a direct HTTP request. So we could very easily build a webpage where all our camera videos are viewable from the Internet or our home/company LAN. Additional the webserver enables the possibility to control the program from remote. We could start/stop the camera preview, the motion detector, the scheduler, the video recording and capture a picture. For each camera separately! Additional we could start all programs which are installed on our system from remote through the webserver.

With the integrated Media Viewer we could view the captured pictures and videos from our harddrive. We could delete files, create and delete directories.

CamUniversal supports multi- languages, such as: english, german, spanish, french, italian, turkish, polish, danish, chinese, norwegian, etc.

In addition, CamUniversal provides a 30-daus free trial for us. It is a standalone software and does not need any extra software and hardware requirement. CamUniversal does not contain any adware or spyware. It works with most recent variants of Windows and its current version is 3.5.
