uWatchIt

uWatchIt is a super handy software that helps you keep an eye on and record multiple network IP cameras. One of its cool features is motion detection, which means it only records when something moves. No more boring hours of blank video!

Preview Your Cameras Easily

The app lets you see all the monitored cameras at once using tiles. You can change how big these tiles are and move them around to fit your needs. Just drag and drop each preview panel wherever you want in the video space.

Control with Ease

Each tile has buttons that make it super easy to turn monitoring on or off, start recording, or switch the motion detection mode. If you need to control all the cameras at once, no problem! You can change the camera header view for a better overview.

Watch Your Recordings

You can use the built-in player to watch your recordings. It allows you to play or stop a clip, adjust volume, and skip through different parts of your videos easily. Plus, you can even go back and forth between clips!

Sort Your Videos

The tool makes sorting videos a breeze! You can organize them by camera location, recording date, and time. If you prefer using another player, like VLC media player or Windows Media Player, it exports recordings in MPEG format.

Frame-by-Frame Control

If something happens while you're recording, the quick trackback feature helps freeze the current frame so you can check out recent events step by step without any interruptions.

Add New Cameras Easily

You can set up new cameras just by entering details like location, IP address, model, resolution, frame rate, username, and password. And don't forget! You can tweak motion sensitivity levels too!

Customize Your Options

The general options let you choose video codecs and change how text appears in videos (like font style and color). You can also pick where to save videos and images. Want to stop recording if your disk space gets low? You got it! Plus, there’s a limit on how many still pictures you want to save.

Email Alerts for Motion Detection

A neat feature also lets you send images detected through motion via email or upload them via FTP connections.

Wrap Up on uWatchIt

uWatchIt packs some great tools for managing multiple network IP cameras but keep in mind it hasn’t been updated in a while. It's perfect if you're using older operating systems like Windows XP, Vista, or 7.
