Zebra-Media Surveillance System

This is a software tool that can let you set up video surveillance with motion detection.

This is a software program for video surveillance and motion capture. It is possible to use unlimited number of cameras with a mix of IP and USB configured ones. You will be able to set up such that video capture starts on motion detection. SMS and or email alerts could be sent out to specified contacts when motion is detected. The program can also play a sound file on detection of motion to alert any local operator. Quite often too frequent triggering of the alarms irritates users, and they tend to switch off the alarms. That is dangerous as far as security is concerned. This tool will help you avoid that, by letting you set up sensitivity of each zone. This would ensure that movement of rats in a warehouse does not trigger the alarm but an intruder does.

Besides starting recording on movement detection, you can have schedules set up. Large amount of recording is always a problem with such systems, and this tool lets you select compression manually or automatically. Annotations, by way of watermarks, can be added to the pictures/videos that may be date-time stamps and other details you decide. The video player that is available helps easy review of the recordings. You are able to capture video frames and have a grid overlaid view of the video recordings. Recording of each camera can be guided by its own settings for monitoring and recording. Built on the style of the Outlook interface, it is easy to operate and would not need much familiarization time. This is a very good product. If you are looking for a similar solution, this is a good candidate for a trial in your exact set up.

Video surveillance and motion capture software. Some key features are: unlimited cameras (including IP and USB cameras), motion detection, SMS and MMS and Email alerts, play sound file (useful on motion detection), adjustable sensitivity for each zone, record on detection, save video into archive or file with automatically or manually selected compression, record on schedule, registration of all events continuously by intervals or on motion detected, password protection, adding a text, time stamps, watermarks to your video. For each video frame, if motion is detected, the Alarm event occurs, that returns a global motion ratio, depending of the number of cells in which motion has been detected, and the level of motion in each cell. A sensitivity grid is applied on video frames. You can adjust the sensitivity of the detection, and mask out areas of the camera view to avoid false alarms. When the camera captures video frames in a dark environment, it is possible that the electrical background noise of the CCD video cell creates fake motion detection events. It is possible to reduce the sensitivity of to the video noise by enabling the Reduce Video Noise option. When an alarm condition is detected, the program can sound an audible alarm, or send you an email with a photo. Automatically capture photos, or record video in compressed files. Surveillance System includes an advanced player that allows to play video clips, capture video frames and perform frame overlay. Each camera has its own individual monitoring and recording settings. All settings, such as alerts, photos, and video recordings can be turned on and off using the built-in scheduler. All monitoring and alert events are logged with date and time stamps. Each camera has its own scheduled on(off) times. Building upon the interface options introduced in MS Outlook, scheduler includes event recurrence control and customizable Date Navigator. Access to all data is provided through a well encrypted password.
