Cam Wizard is the ultimate webcam security application for your Windows XP PC. When Cam Wizard is running it constantly monitors your PC webcam looking for any motion in the scene or in a user defined rectangle within the scene. When motion is detected, Cam Wizard instantly starts capturing the footage as a WMV movie file.
This high quality, highly compressed, WMV movie can then be archived for later viewing and/or emailed to an email address of your choice. With the emailing option enabled it's even possible to gain useful evidence even if, god forbid, your PC is stolen.
Cam Wizard is a software that allows you to monitor and detect motion.
The emailing function does not rely on any third party emailing software or user interaction, Cam Wizard has a robust SMTP mail sending engine embedded right in the application itself, very nice!
Cam Wizard movies contain an accurate time stamp on every frame as a transparent overlay, this format makes Cam Wizards output perfectly suitable for courtroom evidence purposes.
Why go to the bother and expense of purchasing a CCTV system with motion detection when Cam Wizard can do it all for you! Never before has it been this easy to setup a high tech home security system that's capable of catching criminals in the act.
With Cam Wizard it's possible to set up a multiple camera video surveillance system in a matter of minutes, and there's no need for temperamental long play analogue cassette systems, Cam Wizard spools the WMV movies right to your hard drive or network drive.
One hours worth of footage takes only ~12MB, so a 100gig hard drive has enough room for a year of continuous footage, when you bear in mind that Cam Wizard only records footage when movement is detected, you soon realise that this is a very powerful system indeed.
With it's audio alarm function Cam Wizard can be configured to alert you with a WooWoo (like a car alarm) alert in the event of motion in the scene, or in a user defined rectangle in the scene, great for a baby monitor, or a trade counter monitor to alert staff.
