In addition to paying for a set of professional security equipment, we can use iSpy to utilize the camera and microphone of laptop or desktop PC to DIY a fully-functional video monitoring & recording system. It can use camera + microphone to realize environmental movement monitoring (object motion and sound change detection), track and record changes happening in picture and sound, and provide security, surveillance, monitoring, alarm, reminding services.
iSpy is a free and open-source video surveillance & security software that is more professional and more powerful than another freeware TeboCam. Its powerful and professional functions put it in the leading position for many practical purposes in daily life, such as: company security, home guard, children or pets monitoring, as well as a lot of other things that need to be done with your imagination.
iSpy supports unlimited cameras and microphones (including IP camera and USB camera), supports 3 types of motion detection and self-timer, supports local or remote real-time access from computer client/web port/smart phone, supports SMS/email alerts, allows to adjust video recording format and resolution, allows to set the sensitivity of dynamic capture, password lock, work time schedules, and so on.
Apart from being able to monitor environmental actions to implement the automatic video/audio recording, photo taking, iSpy also supports many message notification ways such like sending E-mail/SMS, executing a program, accessing websites, and playing a sound. But its remote access and email/SMS sending functions are paid services that require you to register an account at iSpyConnect website. In AppNee’s opinion, however, these additional features are almost useless for the vast majority of users. Besides, if you have a little programming basis and a certain hands-on ability, then you can use iSpy to achieve more powerful features. For example, use the free API provided by tools such as PushBullet to directly push messages to mobile phones.
In brief, the functions and settings of iSpy are quite abundant, and it supports plug-ins extension (such as face recognition, license plate recognition, etc.), especially some of which are very professional. In this post, we don’t make an introduction in detail, just suggest you experience it by yourself.
