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. 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.

What types of business could benefit from video surveillance systems? Any business that is looking to protect its assets and prevent theft or fraud can benefit from implementing a video surveillance system. Often, the mere presence of cameras can be enough to deter thieves or vandals.

One notable issue is that the FFmpeg development for 32-bit systems has been discontinued for a while. Many users still want to repurpose older computers, which are adequate for video recording and intelligent detection. Therefore, there are many outdated systems on the market, the core of which was developed 10-15 years ago, with interfaces that often appear outdated. New systems target 64-bit architectures and newer, more expensive hardware but often remain unstable over long operations.

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.

Web Camera Pro is a free video surveillance software that offers users the capability to record from IP cameras, create a local video archive, detect objects, recognize faces, and capture time-lapses. One of its most notable features is the seamless integration with the cloud service Video Surveillance Cloud in its paid version.
