active webcam + max-ip-cam

calendar November 9, 2007

Last night i managed to get my MAX-IP-CAM working with Active Webcam software. Active webcam connects to your IP camera or any other webcam and does all sorts of fancy tricks. Here is a list off the Active Webcam site.

 1.) Works with all USB and Parallel Port cameras, Windows compatible Capture Devices and Framegrabbers, TV-boards, and with Network IP Cameras.

2.) Broadcasts live MPEG-4 video and MP3 audio up to 30 frames per second.

 

3.) Multiple cameras support. Simultaneous recording and broadcasting from unlimited number of cameras.

4.) Dynamic IP Service, that gives a permanent internet address to your web camera whenever IP of your computer changes.

5.) Time stamps captured video.

6.) Broadcasts audio.

7.) Supports Encrypted Transmission.

8.) Records password protected video clips.

9.) Performs Live Recording that allows rewind and playback captured content at any time.

10.) Has features to control camera’s Pan, Tilt, and Zoom.

11.) Helps you to create web page for your web camera.

12.) Records video when a motion is detected.

13.) Allows to view recorded video remotely.

14.) Sends e-mail and SMS when motion detected.

15.) Runs a program when a motion is detected.

16.) Allows to define the active area for motion detection.

17.) Creates thumbnails from captured images.

18.) Has a comprehensive scheduler.

19.) Checks the available space on hard drive and stops recording if there is no available space.

20.) User name and password to control access to your camera and recorded videos from Internet.

21.) Has feature to limit number of camera viewers.

22.) Stealth mode makes the program completely invisible that it doesn’t display any icon in the sys tool tray and it is not presented in the task bar tray.

23.) Password protection from unauthorized usage.

24.) Ability to run the program as Windows service that the program starts automatically at system boot and executes even when no user is logged on to the system.

 Currently i have the application to email 2 of my email accounts (my work one, and my gmail one) I have it to upload images and videos when motion is detected to my website, ftp server and two other computers, bit geeky, but i like it :-) It can be abit annoying, because when i turn the bedroom light on it triggers the alarm, i dont know if there is some settings i have missed, because it was just a quick little install last night at 8:30pm.

 I will have alook at the configurations tonight when i get home :-O
