When used in conjunction with your home or office PC and a suitable camera, i-Catcher provides a powerful, practical and economic alternative to dedicated CCTV security systems. Constantly comparing live images from the connected camera, when motion is detected it automatically captures and saves the image to disk. Sensitivity controls and user-defined masks let you eliminate spurious motion detections. Playback lets you review activity detected on any given day in a matter of minutes. Sophisticated alerting functions can send captured images by e-mail, or upload them to a Web site for remote viewing. SMS message alerts can also be configured using an external application. Automated archiving of recorded images can be scheduled as can auto-deletion after a specified period, or when a pre-defined storage space limit is reached. i-Catcher can operate in time lapse or Web cam modes and scheduled operating periods for particular times and days of the week can be defined. For operating as many as 255 cameras see our i-Catcher Console solution. |
