This is unacceptable for my purposes as monitoring the cams in real time is mission critical.Īll around this software was advertised to be much more than it is. I'm not sure whether this is due to the 100% cpu usage or whether, when recording a video, the software blocks all other communication to the web cam. When the motion detection does go off and start recording, the web interface does not update.
It still serves its purpose but you wind up with the video of interest segmented into several different files. The motion detection is a simple "start when noticed and record X seconds afterwards" rather than recording while motion is present. Ideally this should be streamed to a flash object (their flash object does the same thing as the javascript) or similar, not sending a request 3 times a second. The web interface is hokey in that it uses javascript to just request an IMG url over and over and over. There is no indication whether the selection even has properties as the properties button either pulls up another dialog or does nothing at all leaving the user to wonder if they should be waiting or whether there simply is no dialog. The same applies to almost all other compression options in the drop down. There is no error message given when recording starts and all other notifications indicate that it has successfully recorded a video when it simply has not. There is no pre-buffering of the video so the lag between detection and start of recording is enough that you can quite literally never see what made the motion detection alert fire.Įven with Windows Media Encoder installed none of the WMV compression profiles work. Motion detection takes a lot of CPU, requiring me to drop my video resolution down to sub 320x240. Every time I change resolution for my QuickCam for Notebooks, the face-tracking setting is reset and I have to turn it back off. If you unplug a camera and plug it in again - even to the exact same port - your settings are lost. You have to right click to do just about everything. Not sure what kind of discovery it is doing but I get the splash screen with status updates and then no interface an 100% CPU usage for several minutes before the UI is visible.Īll around, the User Interface is quite contorted. I am currently utilizing the 60 day trial, version 5.3.4.164.įirstly, startup takes a very long time on a P4 2.4GHZ Northwood, 512MB ram. Overall this software is not of acceptable quality to pay for.
