Informant is a free and professional video recording software used to capture and store video from single or multiple cameras. It was designed for business uses including video monitoring of offices and buildings and logging of in-store cameras but it has a broad range of possible applications.

This software can record multiple video channels simultaneously with automated motion detected start and stop if required. The number of video sources that the application can record from is only limited by your PC's capacity. Images can be streamed to a central computer, uploaded to the internet via FTP or stored in a local computer. The recordings are automatically compressed for archiving. Later they can be searched by date, time, line or other data using the software directly.
