IRCAS Alarm 4.0.12

IRCAS Alarm 4.0.12 offers you a great tool which can serve you as a camera alarm system and surveillance system for Microsoft Windows. It can use almost every resource of camera, (Web cam (USB) and video capture card detected by the windows system and MJPEG IP cameras and other IRCAS Alarm applications) with its build in motion detection. It can use RS232 COM ports to make detection loops for PIRs, heat and smoke detectors, magnetic switches for doors and windows, emergency buttons and key on/off switches.

It runs as a service on the background. Alert you by email and SMS. You can check a given alarm from anywhere by your phone browser through the internet. So the advancing is: "public authoress are not involved until you or your trusted decide a alarm is real and not false". To work this way could solve the problem of false alarms alerting the authorities. IRCAS Alarm has an built-in HTTP and MJPEG video server so you can check and surveillance the situation via the internet from anywhere.

There all server functionality already is in the application IRCAS Alarm itself we decide to stop with the IRCAS servers. For sms you can now use the Clickatell SMS service. We improved the smtp client so this part of the software will try to deliver direct to the addressed email address and act in this way as an SMTP server.  The http server was already build in the application and is even more sophisticated with its build in MJPEG video server than the original IRCAS servers.
