ImWatcher

ImWatcher is a light piece of software that allows you to monitor multiple webcams and surveillance cameras simultaneously, while previewing the live footage from the same screen.

The application provides supports for both IP cameras and standard webcams, so the first thing you need after the setup is to connect your surveillance devices. As you probably hinted, the webcam is detected automatically, whereas you need to specify the IP and addresses for the monitoring gadget. It is necessary to mention that the program can use hardware acceleration and VCE technology, so you can increase or decrease the speed of the video if necessary.

The utility includes a clean and user-friendly interface that consists of two main sections and a toolbar. More exactly, while in the right panel, you can check out the live footage from the connected cameras, in the left you can preview the list of saved recording.

The highlight of the program stems from the fact that it allows you to connect multiple devices, a feature that can come in handy if you are trying to catch a burglar or detect a roommate when entering your room or using your PC although you repeatedly asked them not to do that, for example.

You should know that the application permits you to view the live footage from all the connected gadgets simultaneously and on the same screen. You can add and remove cameras at any time or set the tool to take photos or start recording when it detects motion. In case you are worried about the space these files are going to occupy on your computer, then you can rest assured that you can set the limit of size for videos and photos from the cameras' settings.

In case you would like to catch a thief, a nosy friend, someone who keep breaking into your home or just want to make sure that your pet is alright while you are away, then perhaps ImWatcher could lend you a hand.
