Network Camera Digital Video Recorder (DVR)

---

Network Cameras are great. Manufacturers say "no software needed". This is often another way of saying "no software supplied"

It's true that you can watch live images simply using a browser. But what use is this? What is needed is a way to record images from your Network camera or IP camera. This is where Netcam Watcher Professional comes in. It's a Digital Video Recorder for Network cameras. An IP camera DVR.

But because this is a software DVR it's got a number of important advantages over a normal video recorder.

Motion detection is the most important. Motion detection is the key to Netcam Watcher.

In the past, network camera DVR security systems recorded everything that happened. And what happened most of all was ... Nothing ...

Tapes would be filled with hours and hours of the same scene. Reviewing was a nightmare.

But now you can just record what you want to record. Netcam Watcher's IP camera DVR motion detection facility means that only motion is recorded. This cuts down the storage requirements by up to 98%!

Now you can see whether you have an intruder or just something innocent.

Netcam Watcher's Network Camera DVR motion detection algorithms can be set up to your specific requirements. Some examples:

* You can start recording on the slightest motion and continue until there is a certain period of zero motion

* You can mask out some parts of the scene for the purpose of motion detection, so a tree blowing in the wind, or traffic passing a window does not trigger motion.

* Configurable darkness level can prevent the noise that occurs on many cameras at night from triggering motion.

* Ability to highlight motion lets you set up the motion detection parameters with precision.

So, you can see that Netczm Watcher IP camera DVR has all the bases covered when it comes to motion detection.
