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. Security and surveillance have become critical for businesses, homes, and public spaces. With the advent of advanced camera technologies, a plethora of diverse camera options are available, each designed for specific surveillance needs. While some might be great for indoor surveillance, others might be rugged for outdoor conditions. Some cameras offer excellent night vision, while others might focus on capturing high-resolution images during daylight. With such a diverse range of cameras, the challenge lies in integrating them into a unified surveillance system.

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.

Cameras tethered to a specific manufacturers software can become obsolete if the company faces economic challenges and decides to shut down its IP camera division. In such cases, without open protocols like ONVIF or RTSP, the camera effectively becomes a paperweight. Brands like [Specific Brand Names] have historically shown poor support for ONVIF and RTSP, creating challenges for users aiming for broader system integration.

Local desktop surveillance software like Web Camera Pro combined with cloud services like Video Surveillance Cloud can offer a hybrid solution. While critical footage can be stored locally for immediate access, older archives can be moved to the cloud, ensuring both accessibility and conservation of local storage.

While while the compatibility and storage challenges of IP cameras are real, they are not insurmountable. Open protocols like ONVIF and RTSP, combined with intelligent software solutions, can help users set up a robust and efficient surveillance system.
