Today we released Version 2 of our
Surveillance Software Netcam Watcher.
Here is a list of the main changes:
-
Pre motion recording: Now you can set Netcam Watcher to record for a certain number of seconds
before motion is detected. This enables you to capture slight motion that might occur before motion is detected. Also in conjunction with masking you can record motion prior to motion that triggers recording.
An example: Imagine a scene where some valuable object was focused on, with masking used to mask out the whole picture apart from the object. Now suppose someone came along and removed the object. With pre-motion buffering you would be able to see the person walk up to the object and remove it.
To use pre-buffering, use the Edit Cam dialog and select Recording and Saving. Now you can select "Record for X seconds before motion starts" as well as "Record for Y seconds after motion stops". Note that using pre-motion buffering does use more CPU, so bear that in mind.
-
Random Patrolling: You can set Netcam Watcher to randomly patrol so that makes it difficult for someone to watch the camera and predict where it will go next (and thus avoid it).
