Vidis Lite1.3

VIDIS Lite is a remote video surveillance application using a PC running the Windows operating system and a webcam, digital camera or camcorder connected to the PC through a video capture card or an USB port. A permanent Internet connection (cable, DSL, ...) is needed for full functionality.VIDIS Lite is a simplified and free implementation of the more complete VIDIS Pro software and its functionality is limited to the viewing of periodic images over the Internet without the options related to motion detection, without email notifications and with less configuration options.A picture of the area covered by the camera is periodically uploaded via FTP to the user's own webspace on the remote server of his ISP after an interval specified by the user and ranging from 1 minute to 999 minutes (approx. 16.5 hours). This image can be viewed in a web browser from any computer connected to the Internet. The web browser view is automatically refreshed every minute. Users need to have webspace which is FTP accessible for this option.This approach avoids unnecessary bandwidth usage as the connection to the remote server is limited to short periods at intervals fixed by the user.The camera view is continuously visible in the local monitor window and the program has options to take snapshots (bmp files) or video recordings (avi files) of the displayed scenes.A setup Wizard helps the user configure the basic network settings when the program is run for the first time.Here are some key features of "Vidis Lite":?
