Webcams are now a common thing which comes with pcs and laptops. Well we use it mostly for having video chat with our friends and colleges. Well if you are bit more active pc user you may use it at times to record and upload your own videos. Still the fact remains that almost 90% of the people don’t use webcams for any productive work. Well now you can do that. If you have a webcam and an active internet connection, you can create a great motion detection camera for your surveillance.
With Cammster online service you can convert your webcam into live motion sensing surveillance camera.
How it works:
- Before you leave your house/apartment you need leave the computer turned ON.
- Make sure that internet is active and you have launched the Cammster application.
- If movement is detected, the program will take a snap of the place through the webcam and will save snaps to Cammster site.
- You will get instant SMS or email notification of the same. (If SMS, it will give you link to your snaps which you can view with your smartphone.)
Another great thing about Cammster is that you can adjust it accordingly if you have pets at home so that false alarms are not created.
Cammster service is free if you only require email alert only. If you want SMS alert too then you can subscribe with very cheap rate of USD 1.00 for activation on a single mobile phone number and USD 1.00 for an alert. (Note: additional events storage up to 200 events will be at a cost of USD 2.00). Well to be very frank the amount they charge is pretty cheap.
Another trick to avoid any charges is to set only email alerts and then access the email through your smartphone. Well of course you need a smartphone with active internet connection for that. But since it’s very common nowadays, it’s not a big deal.
