Video surveillance software

New applications and programs for video monitoring appear in the public domain almost every day. High-quality video surveillance is becoming more affordable for a common user, and at the same time, tough competition conditions are created for manufacturers. Only the best of the best remain on the market, and today we will talk about them.

What is modern software? Its essence and purpose

Video monitoring software is a special, lightweight program that provides access to remote control of the system via personal computer or mobile phone. To become the owner of this software, it is enough to download a video surveillance program to the devices of choice (IP cameras or smartphone, tablet).

Cloud software

The innovative software is cloud software. This is due to the fact that a cloud video surveillance system works on the basis of a regular PC or mobile devices + a special application downloaded for Windows, Android or iOS. This eliminates the need to purchase any additional or special equipment. All information from CCTV cameras is stored in the cloud space, access to which is provided through the Internet. So the owner pays only for the Internet and selected cloud service tariff.

The whole system can fit in two regular smartphones. And instructions on how to make a phone a part of video surveillance can be found in our article: “Turning an old smartphone into a surveillance camera.” If it is required to monitor large areas, then IP cameras or hybrids (IP cameras + smartphones/tablets) are used. More details here.

Tasks and functions of video surveillance programs

Modern programs for video surveillance have multifunctionality: they are used in everyday life and business. And thanks to the rapid development of technologies, video monitoring systems, unlimited in distance and number of devices, are being created.

Manufacturers are constantly looking for ways to enhance the capabilities of software for surveillance cameras, such as developing and improving intelligence and technology. This minimizes the need for human intervention in the system. Another advantage of software for viewing surveillance cameras is that it is always ready for new settings and scaling. For example, the system can be enlarged/reduced at any time by adding/removing cameras.

Modern video surveillance software is capable of:

  • viewing video recordings from any camera remotely in real time;
  • recognizing faces, keeping track of visitors and compiling white and black lists of clients;
  • classifying visitors according to the specified parameters (gender, age);
  • monitoring the absence/presence of employees and detailing the working time;
  • notifying the owner in case of violations of the established rules;
  • notifying in case of motion detection;
  • automatically switching to night mode.

How to choose the right software?

Choosing software is the first step towards creating an effective video surveillance system. The main nuances for choosing software:

  • ability to connect multiple devices at any time;
  • compatibility with local network or modem;
  • general availability of software and its updates;
  • remote control of the system;
  • scalability, integration and adaptation capabilities;
  • positive reviews from users;
  • positive feedback from specialists and experts in the field of video monitoring.

It is very important that the software is designed for video surveillance of large areas. In this case, the system will be as functional and flexible as possible.
