Did you always wanted to view whats going on in your room, whose coming, whose going when you are not around? A Personal home security system that keeps an eye on everything? HomeCamera is your answer. It’s a free software which uses your webcam as a monitoring device and gives you the ability to monitor your home, your office etc.

Monitor

HomeCamera also comes with advanced features like motion detection, mobile phone alerts, camera sharing and time lapse recording. It’s free, all you have to do is sign up with them and download the client after that you’ll be able to monitor anything that’s going on where the cam is installed.

Another great feature of Homecamera is that you can share it with anyone you want to.. like have someone else keep an eye on whats going on in that room where it’s your living room or your office. All you have to do is invite them to sign up (just like you did) and voila! it’s done. With homecamera, you can also set motion detect alerts which scans the live recording and notifies you if there’s any kind of movement in that place. It can include a small video or a screenshot and have it sent to your mobile phone or email :D

Features:

- Easy to Setup
- Works on all webcams, PC’s, PDA’s and mobile phones
- Supports motion detection
- Available Worldwide
- Free of cost

Update: Live Video Streaming is expected to be offered later this year

    Cheers,
