WebCam Monitor is a security application that detects motion or noise on the video sent by a webcam or IP cam, and triggers alerts that can record video and audio of an incident, notify you by e-mail or text message, or sound an alarm.
Features of this program include the ability to let you schedule monitoring to start and stop automatically, record continuously from any selected camera, broadcast video, stamp the video recording with date and time, use a wizard to automatically configure WebCam Monitor, get e-mail notifications, view all event history, along with recordings and photo snaps, digitally zoom any camera up to 200%, upload recorded videos, audios, and photo snaps using FTP, and configure one or more cameras for viewing and monitoring.
Webcam Monitor has a nice and graphic interface, and is an easy to use way to setup your own monitoring system to ensure security at your home or office. If you want to test this software, a free trial is available for download.

Pros
- Easy to setup and use
Cons
- None
1. Motion sensitivity scale is inefficient 2. Email parameters has no video upload 3. The only other option for automatic video upload is an FTP server and that takes around 2.5 min. to reach it, because the timing options for the motion detection recording is too limited in the lower levels... plus there is the cost of a monthly subscription fee for the FTP server account.
