WebCam Monitor

If you want to have your own home surveillance system without spending one cent, now you can. You will need a computer that is connected to a webcam and download a program like WebCam Monitor, which will help you do all your surveillance work in a really simple way. You will only need to program it and then later watch what has been recorded.

How WebCam Monitor works is very simple and will only take you a few minutes to have everything setup. What you get, depends in part, on the materials that you have available. The program will allow you to connect as many as four cameras, which will allow you to cover a lot of ground. If you only have one camera available, you can reduce this to just one room in your home.

The web camera will capture movement and sound in the area where it is installed and sound an alarm. You can configure this to capture an image and record for a certain amount of time, send you an alert to your desktop or an email with images attached to the email that you have previously set for the program.
