SmartSENTRY - Video Surveillance for the Home & Business

Keep an eye on your valuables without having to hire a security guard. SmartSentry is
motion-detector software designed to operate with a digital camera, unattended, for extended
periods of time. You can set rules to capture varying degrees of movement or activity.
You view output using the standard Windows Media Player or Active Movie Player. A dedicated
viewer is provided, displaying the date and time stamp for each recorded frame and providing
hot-key support for rapid stop/start and single-frame advance/reverse. The program also produces
A text log file, containing information about the settings chosen when the recording was made and
the time that each frame was recorded.

Many video monitoring solutions focus on providing features such as ftp transfer capabilities or
generation of email and SMS text alerts when motion is detected. In practice however, these
features often don't provide any real advantage as most scenes being monitored contain
movement at regular intervals which can results in information overload for the recipient.
Additionally, if you really need these kind of capabilities, they can be added to any PC using
standard Windows components or widely available low cost software.

SmartSentry is designed to maximize the information content stored in video files and reduce the system and network resources required to provide
live monitoring by filtering out the 'Visually Silent' parts of the video stream. This means that images are only stored to file or transmitted over the
network when there is a purpose in doing so.
