Surveillance Software Request

[SiLVerBuRn]

Hi everyone, i'm back!

I'm looking for a windows based surveillance program that will allow me to monitor numerous outdoor cameras connected via a PCI card. I've seen a few and tried a few but none offer what i'm looking for.

I would like 24/7 monitoring with the option of only recording motion detection. In addition, it is preferred that the recorded events be listed in an easy to use list for review/deletion, etc.

If you have any suggestions please let me know.

Thanks!

Listing these out will help people to know what Not to recommend.

You need a PCI card that comes with software to do the things you mentioned.

Lol, what you need is a professional service. There isnt a free peice of software that is going to be able to do more then show you want your viewing let alone record or set recording conditions.

you might take a look at this blog post the guy suggests using Dorgem, its meant more for webcams and I've never heard of it so YMMV.

I don't know which cams you are using or which capture card but you might check the manuf. site for software.

might also try a sourceforge search

Not true in the least. I've found software that does the majority of what I ask, but you have to give a little to get a little. And not once in my post did I mention that it had to be 'free'. This place used to be a lot more informative than this.

Thanks, Rich for your suggestion.

I'll keep looking for myself.

I've been looking at DVR CARDS for a few days. Software usually comes with the card. Some of the cards on ebay have Esunstar with them. Try welcome Esunstar Technology Co., Ltd , you can download the manual to see how it sets up & if you can figure it out. I don't know if it comes separate though.
