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.

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.
Pros
well, I suppose if you like malware...
Cons
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.
Cons
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
this can record for a set amount of time, record after motion for a set amount of time (multiple times before you come back), and it can just record non-stop.
this can record visual AND audio
Cons
this version is limmited to 2 houres of use (you must pay for any more)

The 2 hour limit is per session of monitoring or recording. You can simply click the start button again to start another 2 hours of monitoring and recording.
Pros
beautiful and shine
Cons
nothing is wrong about this software
Summary
it's the best all over the net
Pros
Does everything I need it to do.
Cons
would be nice to be able to block different parts of the screen with alarms but not really a con
Summary
Have used for about a year now, with no problems
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.
Pros

Cons
is i don't how or were find the webcam button
Summary
it very hard & i understand were or what push on
