We tried many tools but we since quite a long time we are using OpenCV. The program allows you to view multiple camera images at once.
You can download a copy here:
Although multiple camera’s can be useful in some occasions mostly one camera is enough. We decided that solution for only one camera should be much easier to configure and to maintain. Besides that we want to extend the camera vision application with motion detection. Motion detection that would allow us to assign specific functions (Camstudio4Xnote triggers) to different area. The current version is still in development but we you can use our first but very basic version.
MotionAlerter-4-Camstudio-(v0.02)
Install instruction:
- Download file.
- Unzip file.
- Launch MotionAlerter.exe.
Usage instruction:
- Open a local capture device (a USB webcam) or an IP camera that broadcast in JPEG or MJPEG.
- In this state the whole frame is used as a sensitive area. Open “Define motion regions”. Clear all regions first ans set your own “Start” and “Alert” region.
Note: Your current configuration will not be saved. This first version works but lacks many features. For instance; we can set one on more area that are motion sensitive but currently we were not able to apply specific Camstudio4Xnote alerts to individual hot area’s. Disadvantage is that we can can apply multiple alert types to one frame. Currently all defined areas will raise a motion detection alert that will be communicated to Camstudio4Xnote. Not yet exactly what we have in mind for this application. We hope to be able to present a more sophisticated version soon.
