How to make a smart surveillance system with a simple webcam - video tutorial

Hi friends, in this video tutorial we are pleased to present a very clever software that will help us to make our own surveillance system using a simple webcam, we can monitor your home remotely via mobile phone or camera can capture shots web we can then assemble into a video file can Software to capture images from the webcam only when there is movement in front of the camera.
The idea of ​​making such a video tutorial came to me a few days ago, I was walking through an electronics store, I had to buy some measuring tools, well not counter each, among others I saw some kits surveillance, they were made in the House Oversight and Capture Unit (video recorder with hard disk), of course they cost a lot of money after I left the store I started thinking whether to turn your webcam in camera and video recorder to the computer, I got home and started doing excavations. We found software YAWCAM or Yet Another WebCam software, it works in Java environment, I installed Java Runtime Environment JRE quickly after I installed YAWCAM. I could not believe it when I saw more than I did the soft treasure, not only capture but can convert the signal from the camera to a streaming video that you can see it from anywhere in the world any laptop, desktop or mobile phone.
I could not believe it that will work on the phone, I removed the phone from my pocket and I put the address in your phone's browser, incredible but true, all engineering go watch on your phone See video stream even though I am not on your Flash Player My (our adobe flash all 10.1 delayed for windows mobile), you just need to have browser that supports JavaScript.
We must not buy anything used is free software, a webcam is anyone in the house, even if you can buy one, it is very expensive nowadays a webcam, preferably buying one somewhat decent If you and your laptop can use it.
Do not think I'm kidding when I say that we make a real surveillance system, you can monitor your home and our possessions remotely via mobile phone, we see on the screen a video stream in its own right, basically we have a shooting in directly, the phone should not have Flash or Flash Lite, is enough on your mobile browser to support java script and be active.
We also set YAWCAM software to capture images from the camera to the programmed intervals, the second 1 up, when we do catch watching a movie, the movie will be composed of all images jpg, png or gif taken, the results can be spectacular we make movies 1 FPS is not spectacular but did not need more to catch the offender.
Another interesting how our software we have is Motion Detection, it makes screen shat sites only when it senses movement in front of the webcam, it is interesting that the sensitivity can be set, for example if we have the fan is turned on, we want that our software to confuse it with an intruder through our software sensitivity adjustment and fan movement feels it will be ignored in the future. Catches can keep them in a folder in your computer, send them to an email address or can send an FTP account. Motion Detection This mode offers the possibility of launching an executable feels when someone close, this executable can be the player, a program, or anything else, also this mode and Motion Detection makes a noise when she move through front of the camera, the sound resembles the sound of a broken window.
Who needs this surveillance system?
Whoever wants to know what happens at home in his absence.
Who has a brother or sister who's walking in the room without him / her.
Who wants to know what does boyfriend / girlfriend home without him / her.
Who is curious (all are curious to some extent).
Naughty child who left home with a nanny who worked in circuit card K1
Who is jealous.
Those who work in hidden camera, to reduce production costs.
Those who suffer from chronic spy.
To May, I think everyone will find this solution useful, especially as it costs nothing.
I am sure you will all find this software useful and interesting, beyond the fun the usefulness of this software is extremely serious, think that you are going on vacation, on this crisis it is not known if you find anything in the house when you return, in this case our system will give you the possibility to save your catches on an FTP and when you come from vacation you can use the evidence against those who stole your belongings, you can also monitor the house by live streaming and when you see that the thief entered call the police or simply leave the system on with the Motion Detection module activated and when the thief enters he will hear the sound of the rear window and he will be scared, or not…
I like YAWCAM, mu much I enjoyed so much with a soft, I'm sure you'll love it and you YAWCAM is a free software WebCam surveillance software, it works with Environment Java Runtime Environment (JRE ) and can do a lot of things: WebCam Capture WebCam Live Streaming from or IP Cam, Motion Detection, Screen Shots Movies from, these are just a few of the wonderful features soft acestiu, many will see in the tutorial, now I invite you to Watch this video tutorial YAWCAM.

Don't you look to the end? then you will ask questions that you will not receive an answer because they have their answer in the tutorial only because you are too comfortable not to say lazy you did not look at everything ... if you did not look at everything then be healthy ... it means you don't want to know and you're not really interested, right?
