The program has been created as general software for surveillance hybrid platforms running simultaneously with wireless and wired IP webcams, Television-cards, capture boards, power-line, and USB cameras. It has web interface with the similar look and functionality on the local and apart computers.
Users view MPEG coded picture and have full management of the program using network that surveillance workstation can be run with no monitor, keyboard, and mouse attached. Program`s modular composition extensively improves reliability because all parts work as autonomous applications.
If one component fails, other modules keep on running. For instance if the `capture` module stops working, `watchdog` starts again it instantly that users don`t notice anything because they are viewing video through a `playback` unit. The program does `cyclic` recording that the `disk full` situation never happens.
The recording can be non-stop or it can be started by movement, human face detection, or by calendar. The program has pre-alarm and post-alarm recording. Playing back recorded video is pretty simple and performs on the surveillance pc as well as on distant station via Web interface.
The software performs simultaneous video playback for event analysis from many webcams concurrently. Also recorded data can be searched by date, time or by face detected. All recorded information can be encrypted and password protected.
