Professional surveillance systems can be quite expensive, and they may not be worth the investment for small shops. A better and less costly solution is Webcam Surveyor, which gives you the possibility of setting up a personal surveillance system in just a few minutes. The main advantage is that you don't need any expensive equipment and technical know-how. A webcam connected to your computer is all you need to have.

The application is free to try, without any noticeable functionality restrictions. It has a small setup file, and it doesn't take more than a minute to install its core components. You don't need powerful hardware to run this application, and there is no need to install any special tools or drivers.

Webcam Surveyor's main user interface has a cut-and-dry design, so you won't end up wasting time looking for a particular option. Everything you need is laid out in front of you, and you can perform any action at a moment's notice, with a single click. The best part is that it's sufficient to just plug a webcam, run the application and click one or two buttons, without going through any advanced settings.

A live feed of your webcam takes up the largest part of the interface, and you can click a series of buttons, beneath the preview, to start recording, take snapshots, broadcast the video stream, enable motion detection and more. Broadcasting the stream gives you the possibility of keeping an eye on your shop, office or warehouse remotely, from your home computer or any other location. Furthermore, if you enable motion detection, the application will react in different ways if something moves on camera.

You can decide where the application should broadcast and how it should react to motion in its general settings menu. You can set the application to start recording, send alerts and emails, run programs, play sounds and much more, so you will definitely know if a thief is caught on camera the moment it happens. What's more, the application lets you define an area on your live feed where the motion detection should work. If you have something that moves constantly, like a pendulum clock for example, which could trigger the motion detection, you can set the program to watch for motion in a specific area and ignore the rest.

Webcam Surveyor asks very little memory and processing power, but it has a lot to offer in return when it comes to surveillance.

Pros

The application comes with a wide range of useful features, including motion detection and stream broadcasting. You can set it to react to motion in various ways. You can have it up and running in no time, without making any complicated settings and without sacrificing too many resources.

Cons

There are no serious functionality gaps to address.
