It is a hybrid cloud solution that employs the software's real-time intelligent video analytics on the camera stream source side. The solution comprises a cloud server and a local application that can be installed on a phone, personal computer, or cloud camera. This technology helps significantly decrease the load on channels and cloud disk space. To illustrate, conventional systems would require about 3.2 Tb of disk space for a continuous six-month archive from a single 1080p IP camera. Multiply this by the number of cameras in use, and the hard drive costs—operating 24/7—become quite significant. Furthermore, these systems also necessitate considerations for data backup and mirroring. With Web Camera Pro, the utilization of object detection based on neural networks and time-lapse recording can reduce hard drive stress and decrease the video archive size by hundreds of times.

CCTV Software uses IP cameras and webcams to perform unbeatable video monitoring. Video stream can be viewed from many sources simultaneously. The program supports more than 1000 models of IP cameras, and virtually all webcams. You can record the events in your home or office while you are away. Motion detector is based on video frame analyzing algorithm. You can use it to protect your home from intruders. The motion sensor are fully customizable so you can be sure you will not get the false alerts. If CCTV Software detects motion, it can send you an alert message in telegram messenger, with attached video from cameras. It is not only important to identify the security threat, but also to capture the evidence. When the program detects the motion, it can make snapshots on cameras, and to record video. If you are a boss, you can schedule recording the video in your office rooms and then watch it later, to make sure your employees do the job. The video player allows you to playback recorded video anytime. The captured media files are saved to the local folder, or on the cloud.

Our company has been continuously striving to develop a stable system for working with IP cameras and processing video streams. The challenge is to create a universal solution that isnt tied to a specific IP camera manufacturer. The long hiatus in updates for Web Camera Pro was due to our realization that to address performance and stability issues, we had to overhaul the system entirely. This meant moving away from relying on third-party libraries such as FFmpeg and VLC. In the upcoming version, we will implement our own video stream re-streamer and a player for video viewing. Soon, a new version of Web Camera Pro will be released, aiming to tackle the long-standing challenges in the video surveillance software market, providing users with a reliable, efficient, and user-friendly solution.

Traditional cloud services continually record and process video streams from surveillance cameras in the cloud. This approach has significant drawbackspotential loss of original data due to poor internet connectivity, bandwidth limitations from internet providers, false alerts, high costs per camera, and limited video data storage duration. However, the combination of Web Camera Pro with Video Surveillance Cloud offers solutions to many of these challenges.

Firstly, users arent restricted from accessing the video archive for any of their cameras, as archives are stored locally on their computer. This ensures uninterrupted access even if theres an internet outage. Secondly, video analytics occur locally using Web Camera Pro software, eliminating the need for additional payment for cloud-based processing. Thirdly, the system introduces substantial storage savings both on local drives and in the cloud by using artificial intelligence technologies to reduce frames per second when no motion is detected in the feed.
