More about IP Camera Viewer
The program can be successfully used as a small system for monitoring rooms in the house or apartment. It allows you to conveniently view images from each of the cameras, supporting standard webcams and IP-cameras, transmitting images over the network.
Features
This software promises one-click monitoring. The software itself is compatible with 2,000 IP cameras worldwide. If you already have a camera, there's a good chance that your particular camera will work fine with IP Camera Viewer. These devices work at home or in the office. You can control four at a time through the program.
The manufacturer guarantees that IP Camera Viewer works with over 1,800 camera models from manufacturers such as Axis, Sony, Mobotix, Panasonic,Toshiba, D-Link, Canon, Foscam, Pixord, Vivotek and many others.
There are advanced security features and paid features that may only be of interest to businesses, but there is always the question of whether they are powerful enough to appeal to businesses. You can easily get a 360-degree view and see multiple monitors at the same time, but, again, these are advanced security features and primarily for businesses.
There is also the ability to manually adjust the frame rate. It is also possible to turn on a quad display, typical of a monitoring station, displaying images from different sources on each of its parts.
The application allows you to save and export settings, allowing the user to use them on another workstation.
In addition to the standard image preview function, the tool is equipped with interesting features that allow zooming in on the recorded image digitally, even if the device does not offer this capability. In addition, the user has the ability to control many basic image parameters (color correction, contrast, saturation), as well as viewing orientation (horizontal or vertical mode) and the number of frames per second transmitted.
This is a great software package for small to medium sized businesses or homes with a lot of valuable stuff. Your camera is likely supported, or you can easily buy one. However, for large businesses, the lack of recording and then email alerts is a huge barrier to purchase.
