Video Live Journal: A smart way to monitor your home and office

Free CCTV recording software provides basic surveillance recording features at no cost. Although generally lacking advanced features like AI-based analytics or cloud storage, these software solutions do offer essential functionalities like real-time recording and motion detection. They are suitable for smaller setups or for those who are new to CCTV systems and would like to test out a surveillance system before investing.
Traditional cloud services continually record and process video streams from surveillance cameras in the cloud. This approach has significant drawbackspotential loss of original data due to poor internet connectivity, bandwidth limitations from internet providers, false alerts, high costs per camera, and limited video data storage duration. However, the combination of SmartVision with Video Surveillance Cloud offers solutions to many of these challenges.

Video Live Journal

One of the key advantages of CCTV Software is the ability to create a live journal for each IP camera. This means that users can view live footage from each camera, as well as review recorded footage from the same interface. This makes it easy to keep track of multiple cameras, even if they are located in different parts of the building or property.
Cloud-based surveillance solutions are becoming increasingly popular. They eliminate the need for local hardware by transferring raw video data to cloud servers for processing. While this seems convenient, especially for setups with multiple cameras, it comes with its own set of challenges:

Home Video Systems Surveillance

Freeware surveillance software encompasses applications used to monitor and manage security cameras, webcams, and surveillance systems. This software provides features like live video viewing, recording, motion detection, and remote access. Freeware surveillance software, such as iSpy, ContaCam, and ZoneMinder, offers cost-effective surveillance solutions for businesses and individuals.
CCTV Recording
To illustrate, conventional systems would require about 3.2 Tb of disk space for a continuous six-month archive from a single 1080p IP camera. Multiply this by the number of cameras in use, and the hard drive costs—operating 24/7—become quite significant. Furthermore, these systems also necessitate considerations for data backup and mirroring. With SmartVision , the utilization of object detection based on neural networks and time-lapse recording can reduce hard drive stress and decrease the video archive size by hundreds of times.
Cloud recording using SmartVision is event-driven. If no specific event triggers the system, users can opt for time-lapse recording mode, further optimizing storage. This way, instead of continuously streaming and recording, the system is more discerning, saving significant storage space and providing a more efficient surveillance solution.
