Webcam for Security: Turn Your Webcam into a Security System Webcam for Security refers to the use of webcams for security and surveillance purposes. These webcams are configured to capture and monitor video footage to enhance safety, protection, and security measures in various settings.
Optimized Surveillance on PC. Experience advanced video surveillance with the Web Camera Pro desktop application, enabling users to effortlessly record, access, and manage their surveillance footage from IP cameras directly through their PC. The app provides innovative object detection and facial recognition, ensuring a comprehensive and advanced surveillance solution at your fingertips.
Moreover, Web Camera Pro provides time-lapse recording, letting users capture video at one frame per second when there's no motion, saving on storage costs and extending the CCTV archive's storage duration. Implementing Web Camera Pro allows users to explore a new dimension in surveillance, ensuring that features like object detection and face recognition are used to enhance security measures. In coordination with Video Surveillance Cloud, this solution ensures that all video streams are continuously recorded and processed, providing a dual-layer of security and convenience for all users and applications.
Additionally, Web Camera Pro offers time-lapse recording, allowing users to record video with one frame per second in the absence of motion, reducing disk space costs and increasing the storage time of the CCTV archive.

How Much Storage Do You Need?

Let's calculate for different frame rates. The table below presents the storage needs for various frame rates for both 1080p and 4K resolutions:

The values in the table are computed for a full year of continuous recording. To estimate the total storage needs for multiple cameras over the same period, just multiply the table's numbers by the number of cameras you have. For a security setup with 16 cameras, each recording continuously at 1080p resolution for six months, you would require approximately 240 TB of storage. That's a substantial amount! It's vital to realize that storage requirements can soar, particularly with 4K videos recorded at higher frame rates. Using these numbers, it's straightforward to figure out the expenses for buying hard drives or for cloud storage.

Maximizing Storage with Web Camera Pro

Typical CCTV software typically identifies pixel alterations, often causing false alerts due to shifting light situations or other irrelevant motions. In contrast, Web Camera Pro employs neural network algorithms for smart object and motion identification, considerably reducing unneeded recordings.


Recording to the cloud using Web Camera Pro occurs only in the event of a specific incident. If no incident occurs, users can record in time-lapse mode, ensuring that storage is used efficiently. This efficiency is particularly useful for users with limited storage capacity, whether locally or in the cloud. The fusion of artificial intelligence and data decentralization tech in Web Camera Pro and VideoSurveillance.Cloud enables the fast and cost-efficient establishment of an effective CCTV monitoring system.

CCTV Recording Software for Windows/Mac/Linux

CCTV recording software is available for various operating systems including Windows, Mac, and Linux. Windows-based software usually offers a wide range of compatibility with various hardware. Mac versions often focus on user-friendly interfaces, while Linux versions may offer greater customization for tech-savvy users. The choice of platform often depends on the specific needs and existing infrastructure of the user.
Accessible Video Surveillance. Web Camera Pro offers an easily accessible video surveillance solution through its PC application, ensuring users can manage, view, and analyze their video archives directly from their desktop. This localized method of video analytics minimizes risks such as data loss and restrictive bandwidth allowances, providing a reliable and steady surveillance application.
