Webcam Commander

Security is an important factor, regardless of whether you are talking about what is happening at home or at your workplace. The problem is you can't always be present to stop things from happening, so the next best thing would be at least to have an eye in the sky that lets you know everything that is going on. The problem is that professional surveillance systems can set back your budget several hundreds of dollars, and that is where an app like Webcam Commander comes in the picture.

The app is pretty straightforward from a functional point of view, as it is an IP-based webcam monitor that can support anywhere between one and 64 different camera feeds at a time. Since receiving a camera feed from a camera is done strictly IP-based, you are not limited to receiving feeds just from devices that are connected to the same local network as you. Instead, you can receive several feeds from home, while the rest of them can be from the office, or vice-versa.

Feeds that are being received did not seem to slow down the PC, not even when viewing 64 at a time, although some problems may arise when dealing with more dated hardware. One thing worth mentioning is that receiving feeds from a high number of webcams at a time may lead to a significant increase in bandwidth usage, so using other online services that require good Internet speed can be quite problematic. Finally, video feeds can be saved as video files on the hard drive, and accessing them can be secured via a password that you can input.

It doesn't matter if you want to keep an eye on the kids at home, or if you want to see which employees are slacking off at work, Webcam Commander will definitely be useful to you in one way or another.
