How to conduct remote video monitoring in Internet cafes?

Ordinary USB camera realizes remote monitoring function.

Camera and software installation

If you want to realize camera monitoring, you need to download a software, which is SupervisionCam.

Click to download: SupervisionCam

Download and install (see figure 1 for the installation interface). After starting SupervisionCam, the operation setting interface will be given first. This is a feature of the software, and this setting interface will be given every time the program is started. The first thing we see is the "Motion Detection" tab. In the "Set Video Source" item of this interface (Figure 2), set the camera you installed (select your camera). Otherwise, the program will not run. After choosing the equipment, you can see the screen directly in the setting interface, hehe, the first battle was successful. At this point, if all the default settings of the program are used, you can start working.

Click OK to return to the program interface. At this point, you can see the corresponding screen information in the program interface. Adjust the position of your camera to ensure that you can see what you want. The working principle of SupervisionCam is as follows: if the program finds that the monitored picture has changed, such as the movement of objects, it will automatically capture the picture at the time interval you set and save it to the hard disk. In this way, we can see the change of the monitored position in unattended environment.

Double-click the captured picture with the mouse, and you can see the modified picture content in the small window at the lower left corner of the program interface. Because SupervisionCam can take screenshots of every changed picture without missing anything. There are familiar buttons under the small window in the lower left corner, which can automatically play all the captured pictures.

Now let's look at other settings to make the program run better. Click the "Change Configuration" button in the button bar of the program interface to activate the running environment setting interface. The first thing I saw was the "Motion Detection" tab, which we mentioned before. Now we need to talk about the detailed settings. In the "Video Image Filter" button associated interface of this interface, settings such as brightness and contrast of the shot image are provided, which can effectively improve the image quality. In addition, there is a "Compare frames eash" option in the interface, which is used to set the time interval for comparing frame changes. This setting is related to the video frame interval that the program can intercept, and the program defaults to 0.5s (see Figure 2).

Switch to the "Send Message/Mail" tab, and the program will give you the interface. In this interface, when the program finds that there is a picture change, it can send the captured picture to the mailbox designated by the user by email. If this function is set, you can directly and remotely receive the picture information sent by the SupervisionCam program. The setting method is very simple, just choose to use the corresponding function directly. If you are on the LAN, the program can also give you a quick reminder by SMS. The method is simple, just enter the computer of the remote receiver in the "Computer" item in the "Send Message Settings" item. For sending information and e-mail notifications to the computer, you can click the "Test" button in the interface to test whether the settings are effective. (Figure 3)

Switch to the "HTML Page/Server Upload/Dial-in" tab, and the program will give the interface as shown in Figure 4. This is the correct setting if you want to publish the graphics captured by the program to the website in real time. First, set the first page file name and file saving path of the saved HTML page file in the "HTML Page Generator" item. The "Save and Upload" item provides file upload settings, which can upload FTP server address, path, login user name and password. So as long as there are new screenshots, the program will automatically upload them. (Figure 4)

Switch to the "Activity Timing" tab, and the program will give you the interface. With this setting, the monitoring operation can be automatically started at the specified time, and the required content can be captured more accurately. (Figure 5)

Well, that's it. This concludes the introduction of camera monitoring. I believe you can use your brain and your imagination to use it where you need it.

If you are not comfortable with the English interface above, please install translation software such as Kingsoft Express and Oriental Express. After installation, you can set the operation in the Chinese environment.
