Free ip camera software for windows

IP Camera Bandwidth & Disk Space Calculator 3.0.2 is designed to be a useful and friendly software design tool made for calculation of required network bandwidth and storage space for network IP camera based video surveillance system of any size from small to big. If you are going to install a video surveillance system or Webcam/netcam monitoring software, at first you need to analyze required network traffic and sufficient HDD space.

Just select your network camera resolution, compression level from drop-down lists, enter required FPS (frame per second) and total number of CCTV cameras and get the result. In compare with online calculators you can calculate network bandwidth and storage space for many network cameras simultaneously. Software does not need an Internet connection and it has a really fast and friendly user interface. Additionally you can calculate focal length for camera lens to determine what 3rd party lens will be needed.

Enhancements:

• Adds support for camera lens focal length calculation and for new compression options.

Requirements:

• Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000/XP/Vista

Looking at todays tendency of video surveillance systems it can be easily noticed that popularity of IP based solutions is growing really fast. There are quite a lot of manufacturers, who provides great range of IP video cameras and video servers, which are intent to serve in a professional IP-enabled video surveillance system.
More of it, many companies provides solutions aimed to convert current CCTV video surveillance systems to IP based systems, keeping current equipment and infrastructure. In addition to these companies, who provides not only hardware solutions, but software as well, there are a lot of companies, who focuses on software part of IP video surveillance systems mostly, providing complete solutions as for small or enterprise business, as for personal use.
In the article I would like to share some of my experience in working with different IP video cameras and video servers from different manufacturers. The provided information is related mostly to accessing these cameras from your own application, which may be a simple application for your personal needs or which may be something more sophisticated and even close to some sort of video surveillance application.
As a demo application to the article I am providing a C# application, which allows as single camera viewing as multiple cameras viewing simultaneously. The program allows simultaneous view of not only several cameras from a single video server, but allows to view many different cameras even of different manufacturers at a time.

Easy Camera Calibration 1 is created to be an intuitive yet useful program with which you can easily determine a camera's internal parameters (focal length, aspect ratio, radial distortion). The technique only requires the camera to observe a planar pattern shown at a few (at least two) different orientations. Either the camera or the planar pattern can be freely moved. The motion need not be known.
