Spy Review

A web cam is something many people use these days along with their computers for entertainment and to share video with relatives and friends in far away places. But this software turns an existing web cam into a surveillance tool. It can be used as a security camera and catch all the action when you are not around. It has special motion detector settings so that it starts recording when it finds some activity taking place.

Since it is sophisticated, it can work in very dim light, too. You can set it to record at intervals and even email the images to you if you are not around.

A good situtation to use this web cam would be perhaps when you have a babysitter or nanny around so you can use it to find out that nothing untoward is happening. If you leave your house in the hands of people who come and clean it or do other work when you are away, you can keep an eye on their doings and catch them if they are up to mischief.

Again, something like this needs to be used sensibly because it can be misused by inacting unneccessary amount of surveillance, especially on kids, which may not be morally justifiable. But used sensibly it can turn a web cam into a nice security tool.

Of course you will probably need to use a web cam that does not indicate that it is on and recording via a light or sound on the cam as it would be a giveaway to any unsepecting persons.
