ContaCam 9.9.23 Video surveillance app for Windows

Free video surveillance and webcam capture software.

ContaCam is a live webcam monitoring application that can be used to send notifications if motion has been detected. It also functions as a web server where currently connected cameras can be monitored.

The program has a cool set of features like the ability to detect motion, recording camera streams and integrating password protection for the web server that it runs on port 8800 by default. It can interface with cameras on a network or physically connected to the host system.

With ContaCam, you've got a pretty straightforward application running which is easy to use. Using it for home surveillance is pretty its main goal. Captured images can be immediately uploaded to an FTP server or send you email notifications in case motion has been detected. Images captured can be saved as TIFF or PDF files.

In addition to its security-related features, the webcam videos can be slightly tweaked with rotate, flip and resize. Image enhancement is also supported and thus ContaCam can apply brightness and contrast adjustments along with effects like grayscale, negative, sharpen and soften.

All in all, ContaCam is a useful video capture and surveillance freeware application that has a number of useful features without any of the bloat.
