DVR Security System Review

Visec is a software package designed for Windows based PC’s giving users the opportunity to create their own surveillance system. The software is capable of taking control of the cameras you have attached to your system and it can notify you about events that have been recorded. If you have purchased a DVR card or security camera for your PC based surveillance system, you may have received a software bundle. Visec tends to have better functionality and more features than the free software that is included with many surveillance related hardware packages. If you don’t have any such software you may find Visec to be the alternative you need for operating your surveillance system.

Most USB cameras are compatible with Visec and it can upload recorded images to the Internet by FTP. You can also use the software to view camera footage from any location that has Internet access, this means you can stay informed even if your surveillance system is miles away. Even if you don’t have access to your PC the software is capable of notifying you about events (such as motion detection) as Visec can send alerts to your mobile phone. You can set the program to start recording only at times when motion is detected, this feature can help to save your hard drive space.

The software does a lot to ensure your surveillance system is secure, you can use it to set up user accounts and passwords for access. When you view video remotely the software sends video to you through video streaming and you can convert the recorded video into AVI files. The motion detection settings of cameras attached to your system can be tweaked with Visec and you can specify the levels of sensitivity. The software does have some limitations, without a DVR card it only works efficiently with up to four cameras.

Another handy feature found in Visec is ‘Stealth Mode’ this enables you to set your surveillance system to record without being noticed. The program can be set to run at Windows startup giving you the ability to monitor the activities at a specific PC. When Visec is started in stealth mode Windows gives no apparent notification that the software is running and recording video footage.

Visec is compatible with the majority of Windows PC’s, the hardware requirements are reasonably low. It is compatible with Windows Vista and XP and a number of earlier versions of the operating system. An 800MHz processor along with 256 megabytes of ram are required to run the software.
