VideoPeep:
Having you small web-camera, you probably have thought of organizing a hand-made video surveillance system. Its tasks may be different: For example, you could want to control your children’s or pets’ behavior, or guard for the "unwanted visitors" when nobody is at home. Whichever the case is, you will need the appropriate hardware and software. The hardware role can be successfully completed by a web-camera (all you need is to hide its "unmasking" lightning), and for the software I would propose you to use VideoPeep, a small utility.
The software is as simple as it possibly can be, but that does not deprive all the features you will need for the delicate business of video surveillance. It can write the camera’s signal continuously, but such tactics would quickly lead to the disk overflow. A more interesting mode is "write on timer"; but the most suitable one is "write on motion detection". In this mode, the video signal will be recorded only when the picture in the camera changes, and the number of the required changes can be set in the options.
You can also control the picture compression rate (JPEG algorithms are used), recording frequency and files size (for example, you can set the file size to 60 min of video, so a 5-hour-long record would be stored in 5 files). Some additional cool features provided by VideoPeep include the disk space control (the program will never leave less than 100 MB of free disk space) and internal simple web server (i.e., you can view the current camera picture in a browser from any computer on the network).

Features:



	Real Time JPEG encoding
	No temporary files are required for video recording. Each frame is compressed by the JPEG coder, the final video file has MJPEG format.

	Simple and easy user interface
	All setting’s changes come into operation immediately. It is not necessary to reload the program.

	HotKeys Setting
	HotKeys is the programmed key combination, its usage makes programs’ interface visible or invisible. The program of video recording is operated by the HotKeys, irrespective of a program you are working at when you use them.

	Movement detector
	Movement detector allows to record if there is any movement only. This ability saves memory at the hard disk, as record is stopped if there is no movement.

	Timer
	Allows to record during the determined interval of time. For example. From 5:00:00 till 10:00:00 – record from 5 o’clock till 10 o’clock . From 10:00:00 till 5:00:00 – the record will be started at 10 a.m., continued in the afternoon, at night, and stopped at 5 a.m. It is possible to combine timer and/or movement detector.

	The control of free size on a hard disk
	Record will be stopped if volume of free memory on a hard disk is less than 100 Mbytes. This opportunity of VideoPeep prevents the overfilling of the hard disk by the recorded video files which may lead to a wrong work of the computer.

	Auto Name
	VideoPeep can generate a video file’s name automatically. The file will be put in a folder with a name coinciding with a current date. Video file’s name includes (consists of) the time when record was started and the amount of frames in this video file.

	Auto Pause
	VideoPeep won’t record video files if record activation terms are not fulfilled (are not performed) (are not executed)

	Auto Restart
	The size of one video file is limited to 3600 frames. The Program creates a new file to continue the recording if the last one is filled.

	The quality of JPEG encoding may be set from 1 to 100
	The higher the quality of JPEG encoding, the more memory is required for a frame of a video file. One frame may take from 8 to 250 Kbytes of memory on a hard disk depending on JPEG encoding quality. The recommended amount of Kbytes in one frame - 50. The Program reflects the size of a last JPEG video frame in bytes. You can change the quality of JPEG encoding during the video recording and examine how changes affect on the JPEG video frame’s size.

	Hidden start
	This option allows the Program to become invisible immediately after the start. Put this program to an auto loading. If the option “hidden start” is turned on (switched on) the program will be loaded in an invisible mode after the start of the computer. You can set program to visible mode with a help of HotKeys.

	Free Upgrades
	Registered users receive FREE upgrades of VideoPeep and support for LIFE. The cost of the program will rise from version to version. You will have SIGNIFICANT economy in the future if you buy the registration key now.
