Developer's Description

Monitor and record from up to 32 IP cameras and up to 4 USB cameras simultaneously.

Professional video surveillance software with support for multiple cameras. Security Monitor Pro is the perfect solution for complex security problems. It can monitor and record from up to 32 IP cameras and up to 4 USB cameras simultaneously, create continuous video recordings, and preview multiple cameras in a single window. Each camera has its own individual monitoring and recording settings. When motion is detected, it can send e-mail, record audio and video, and/or sound an audible alarm. In addition, the software maintains a detailed event log.

The license plate module will read license plates passing by the camera and can record all of them or alert you when a specific plate is detected. Each camera has its own scheduled on/off times. Control and viewing of cameras in Security Monitor Pro is available through a remote app and via a web browser. Remote monitoring keeps you on top of security, even from distant locations. All video recordings and snapshots can be automatically uploaded to the FTP server of your choice, either on a regular schedule or as soon as the alarm condition is detected. The program can also broadcast (stream) live video and audio from all cameras, which can be viewed from any location using the Internet. Email alerts can include a snapshot showing the cause of the alert. An Android app can remotely control Security Monitor Pro and view all recordings and photos.

Security Monitor Pro can monitor and record from multiple IP cameras, in addition to any cameras connected directly to the PC, simultaneously. It's the central element of your security and surveillance system.

Caught a warehouse break in!
December 17, 2017
Pros
I have 3 security cameras, one each from D-Link, Trendnet, and Foscam. This is the only software I found that would work with all of them. I had it loaded on one of our servers in the office, monitoring the 3 warehouse cameras every night. When someone broke in to the warehouse (one of the ex-employees had a key), Security Monitor Pro recorded the whole thing along with audio. I was able to give the video recording to the police which led to the arrest of the ex-employee and his accomplices.
Cons
I cannot find any issues
Summary
Great software, very intuitive and tech support is good.
BlueIrisSoftware.com has it beat hands down
VirtualDavidSeptember 7, 2015
Pros
Works kinda ok
Cons
Way too expensive Buggy Poor customer support
Summary
I paid a whole lot of money (hundreds of dollars?) for my 12 seat license (12 cameras) because it was the only software I could find. I just found BlueIrisSoftware.com that has TONS of more options and makes S.M. Pro look like child's play. The best part is the price: $60 for unlimited cameras! CNET: if you haven't reviewed Blue Iris Software - please do so. NOTE: go to BlueIrisSoftware.com NOT blueiris.com
Used to work until 5.32. Now all cameras flipped
May 16, 2015
Pros
I used to work good
Cons
since 5.32. All Cameras flipped and no sign or word from technical support since the update came out.
Summary
Claims to work my my camera brand, doesn't
oceanclubApril 23, 2015
Pros
At first time, program offers a lot of features
Cons
Claims to support a Storage Options camera, but get "failed" is trying to test. Settings used are same as those in other programs which work successfully. No help or feedback is given.
Summary
Easy set up - motion triggering needs work
soulssongMarch 13, 2015
Pros
Easy to set up. Works with most IP cameras. Has a broadcast setting for viewing over the internet.
Cons
* Way too expensive for what the program offers, nearly $90 to monitor just 2 cameras. * The motion monitoring to trigger video and/or email is very hard to get set right. It either detects motion where there is none or doesn't detect motion at all. I've worked with it for hours trying to get it set right and it still triggers too often or not at all. * Uses too much computer resources and may overheat some of the less powerful machines.
Summary
This is a decent software but needs improvement and would be a better value at less than half the price for what it offers. If other companies supported my IP cameras, I wouldn't have purchased this one.
Caught a burglar!
RaviDeMateoAugust 31, 2014
Pros
Installation was easy and quick. I have 5 cameras, all different models of TrendNet, Level One, Advidia, and HikVision. This is only software that supported all of them simultaneously. I love the interface, very intuitive.
Cons
Frame rate on the high resolution Hikvision camera could be better, but that might be a bandwidth limit of my wireless connection.
Summary
We caught a burglar prowling around our back yard. He saw my camera and moved onto the house across the street. I gave a copy of the recording to the police and they were able to identify and catch the burglar that broke into my neighbor's place! Most valuable software on my PC.
The ONLY IP Camera Monitor that really works for me
rogermassFebruary 25, 2014
Pros
I have had NONE of the problems that other reviewers are complaining about and this is the ONLY program that is not only easy to setup but actually works flawlessly at least for me. It has all the features that I need and the software is well designed. I'm really picky and if I sing the praises of an application, it's good. I do have a high end modern PC and perhaps others are having problems because of their hardware.
Cons
I have had NO problems with this software
Summary
Very Unreliable as Security Software
jedicnetJanuary 18, 2014
Pros
Idea is good, and when it works, it is okay.
Cons
Works for a day or two, then crashes with Runtime C++ errors, with no user-friendly exception handling. Badly designed program. I have paid for the software, and also for an update. Fed up of these errors and crashes. If you are serious about security, about this software and company.
Summary
Do NOT buy this software, and avoid the company. They sell unreliable products and updates, and charge more and more for junk updates.<br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on Jan 18, 2014<p/>Read '"avoid" this software and company' (in CONS above - CNET doesn't allow Edits, only updates).
Not good, can crash
BirngerNovember 27, 2013
Pros
Support all my old usb cameras.
Cons
Bad support, slow, very slow. Terrible trial functionality, very expensive!
Summary
Junk, would give a -1 star if I could
dabentNovember 20, 2013
Pros
Did not find any pros
Cons
Crashes, resource hog, cant get cam to broadcast 99% of the time, not real good for security as you have to be near the computer all the time to reset. I spent hours on this program and found nothing worth $90. I did not find anything that would be worth $9. Uninstalled, I will not buy
Summary
Save your money find a better program!!
