Pros
Connects up to 4 USB cameras simultaneously, records audio and video (mp4 format), good scheduling, excellent choice of alert options.
Cons
can't find any yet
Summary
I had to move my USB plugs around a little to get all 4 cameras working. Windows doesn't like it when you use identical camera models on the same USB bus, so I had to plug three into the rear ports of the PC and one into the front port. I use it for overnight monitoring in my small office with inexpensive cameras. Works well.

Pros
Noise activation! Movement activation! Time lapse JPGs and/or video.
Cons
Limited to only 60 - 7 second time lapse JPGs. No mulit-camera operation. Could not find a multi-camera software with noise activation.
Summary
I use an audio alarm and I need to have the noise activation that this product has. Would like to see this expanded to allow other discrete inputs to activate email notifications / event recording.

Hello Jeff,

Pros
None. This was terrible from the start.
Cons
It was impossible to evaluate. Open the program ->Nag. Start capture->nag, open my laptop->nag, press any button-> nag. close the program->Nag. Nag, nag, nag, nag, nag, nag, nag, nag, nag.
Summary
I don't mind it being evaluation, but it is limited to 2 hours of recording an other limits related to FTP and such, isn't that enough? Or perhaps just a nag screen upon opening. But does it have to nag for every operation? This is a ridiculous implementation and shows it is written by those with little regard or trust for users.

INSTALLS MALWARE, NOT FREE
Summary
THIS SOFTWARE IS NOT FREE--- IT INSTALLS MULTIPLE BAD PIECES OF SOFTWARE ON YOUR COMPUTER. SHOULD NOT BE ON CNET AS FREE.

Pros
I used this software to try and see who was using my swimming pool while I was at work. I set it up with an inexpensive USB camera pointed at my pool from inside my house. It took a week, but I caught two neighborhood kids, problem solved.

None, worked really great.
Summary
Works much better than the built in software, the time stamping is excellent, the recordings are clear and it works with USB and IP cameras.

Pros
- The Email Alerts work fine,
- More then enough ways to view your video, pictures, live broadcast, very impressed.
- Works as advertised.
Cons
- Can only use 1 camera at once. Was hoping to be able to use 2 cameras.
- Setting up Email Alerts tricky with outgoing email server. (Disable login / password)
- Program is a little pricey. Would of liked to pay around 50 dollars instead of $70
Summary
- Setting up Email Alerts was a little tricky with the outgoing email server. (Disable login / password) dont need it for just the outgoing server. If you use login/password
you may get a 503 error and it wont send emails expecially on an open mail server.
