CamShot

CamShot is a software application whose purpose is to make you feel safer, by helping you set up a monitoring system at your home or office.

After going through a seamless and surprise-free installation process, you are met with a minimal and clear-cut interface. It is only comprised of a menu bar, a few buttons and a pane in which to display the webcam feed.

Comprehensive Help contents are supported thus enabling all types of users to find their way around it, without encountering any kind of issues.

First and foremost, you should know that you can set up a master password to the program with great ease, so that you can be sure that only authorized people have access to the surveillance system.

After connecting a web camera, you should know you can create multiple triggers and actions with the help of a built-in wizard. To be more precise, you can easily set up the utility to take snapshots, e-mail notifications, save files, upload them to an FTP server or set off an alarm on a custom schedule or when motion is detected.

It is possible to create multiple such rules, view logs in a Notepad window and start the monitoring with just a click of the button. You can also stop this process with ease and change the language used.

To conclude, CamShot is a pretty simple, yet handy piece of software when it comes to setting up a surveillance system in our home or office. The interface is intuitive, the response time is good and the computer’s performance is not going to be hampered in any way. Our tests did not reveal any errors, crashes or freezes.
