Enhance your Webcam-enabled system to watch real video or turn it into a surveillance system. Active WebCam captures images up to 20 frames per second from any video for Windows device, including video cameras and USB cameras, and broadcasts them either from your computer or through any FTP server. Viewers can watch real video. The captured video can be viewed using any Internet browser, no plug-ins or downloads are required. Your camera can be used as a surveillance system. When the program detects motion in the monitored area, it can sound an alarm, e-mail you the captured images, start broadcasting, or record a video. The program has features to add text captions to the images, to place a date/time stamp on each video frame, and to adjust the frame rate, picture size, and quality settings. The new version features the ability to change the name of a broadcasted image, or to create an archive of broadcasted images. Video can be recorded in MPEG format. You can now manage the program from the command line, and more.
