How does Visec work? Visec works by analyzing the video images that it receives and then processes this video through a series of intelligent alogrithms. Based on the user's settings, this video is subsequently stored digitally on the user's storage medium (hard drive) so that it can be played back either live on the user's computer or remotely over the Internet. Surveillance Cameras are only a small component of a security system. The Visec software creates a synergy with this hardware, allowing users to have a surveillance system comparable to the military. While Visec incorporates sophisticated technology, it has been designed for ease of use. In fact, the Visec interface is quite simple to use and is similar to operating a DVD player.

What is motion detection and how does that work?
Visec® Proprietary Motion Detection Technology (VPMD), is a powerful feature of the program that will record and notify you of video only when it detects motion. A sophistictated alogrithm processes video and can determine if motion was detected like from someone walking in a room. This feature is helpful because it only begins storing video when it detects moverment, and you can control the sensitivity. This also makes it easier for you to playback video because you can just watch video when there was activity. The program gives you full control to set the sensitivity of the motion, from small to very precise levels. The VPMD means that you do not need to buy any external hardware sensors. Any camera will work with this, since the motion detection is software based.

What kind of Alert features does this have?
Visec can email you a warning every time it detects motion. As soon as motion is detected, you can have Visec send you a picture of what transipred to your phone, pager, office or other communication device that is capable of receiving emails. The warning can consist of the specific motion that triggered the alert (e.g. a stranger in your home during the day), a text message, a picture, or both. Visec can also upload (ftp) to an Internet website all motion video coverage. With Visec, you can learn about events as they happen.
