USB monitoring software is an intelligent real-time video surveillance analysis program that supports intelligent analysis and monitoring for multiple USB cameras. It supports real-time H.264 compression and comes with basic surveillance functions including digital video recording, network transmission, web browsing, motion detection, PTZ control, alarm input and output, file backup, video playback and system management. It also provides image enhancement and intelligent analysis features such as software wide dynamic range, defogging, face detection, suspicious object detection, abandoned object detection, object counting, tripwire detection and reverse motion detection. Besides these functions, let’s take a look at other advantages of USB cameras.

Advantages of USB Cameras

1. Low cost. USB cameras have become widely standard equipment. The technology barrier is low. Users do not require extensive professional knowledge. They can be installed and deployed rapidly without setting up a dedicated server.
2. Plug-and-play via USB interface. Featuring user-friendly operation, USB cameras require no capture card or separate power supply, and there is no need to open the computer case. They work with laptops. Compared with traditional surveillance cameras, they deliver lower costs and support remote network viewing for convenient use and simple operation.
3. Motion-activated recording. Its compression format facilitates easy storage of video files.
4. Simple setup. Just plug the camera into the computer’s USB port and install the host control software to get it running. USB infrared cameras support viewing on mobile phones and remote network access.

USB surveillance cameras share the same working principle as ordinary PC webcams. Both adopt the standard USB 2.0 interface for computers and CMOS imaging technology. Nevertheless, they differ from regular webcams: USB surveillance cameras are equipped with more powerful image processing chips. Their performance in terms of real-time response, resolution, definition and backlight imaging can basically meet the requirements of the surveillance industry.
