If you need some basic surveillance for your home or small business but can't afford a professional system, Secure Cam may be the right choice.

As I said, it's a fairly basic system but it may work for you if you don't need advanced features. Secure Cam is also very easy to use: simply run it after plugging in your camera and you're ready to go. One tip: to open the program's settings menu, double click on the camera image – after spending a while looking for it, I'm still wondering why they didn't add a standard Settings menu.

This configuration menu allows you to select the motion detection threshold and set the program to take pictures whenever there's movement in front of the camera. You can also overlay a text on the image as a watermark, and flip or rotate the image.

Secure Camera works pretty well and takes pictures in the right moment. Also, it includes a special viewer where you can review all the captured images frame by frame. On the downside, it doesn't feature the possibility to capture video or warn you in any way (e-mail, text message) every time it detects movement.

Secure Cam is a basic surveillance system with which you can keep an eye on your home or office with the help of your webcam.

UWatchIt is designed as a platform to control several security cameras at the same time on a single screen. In addition to collecting the image of the cameras, if the cameras support it, it can even detect movement which automatically triggers the recording mode. If necessary, the program can be configured to send a message via e-mail or the latest transmittable images to an FTP server.

UWatchIt has four operating modes - real-time vision, vision and continuous recording. Vision and recording are designed for when it detects movement, and vision and recording sequences are used to edit video before the recording has been completed. This program allows any organisation to set up their own security system with minimal fuss. It's particularly useful for shop owners or home owners who want peace of mind while they are away.

This is a superb monitoring program that allows anyone to take security into their own hands.

Move Action is designed to allows your webcam to detects motion and set it up as a security camera.

This can be used to trigger a blocking mechanism on your PC or signal an alarm. Alarms can either be sent via e-mail or even text to warn you of intruders. The PC blocking function works by blocking your PC and requiring a password to access it again. It can also save webcam shots in JPG format and then send them submit them by mail or transfer them by FTP, play a sound file or run external applications. However, as impressive as this is, the most intriguing feature of this program is that it can compare two images captured at different intervals. This way you can monitor a site without having to look at the videos on the camera constantly. This saves you sitting there for hours on end monitoring and is great if you need to use evidence to prosecute or charge someone.

A great little program for those concerned with security although the configuration is rather complicated.

LiveStream Broadcaster is a program that allows you to control your web camera from your mobile phone or remotely via the Web.

The program itself works as a simple server that is responsible for issuing, via the Internet, a flow of images captured by the webcam installed and pre-configured on your system. Thanks to this server, you can connect to your camera from your mobile phone, available through a Symbian applicationhere. The problem is that the service is not particularly stable - you'll often suffer dropped images, slow loading times and sometimes complete crashes. On the plus side, the interface is extremely user friendly meaning that even the most novice user should have no problems setting using it. The setup process in particular is very straightforward. A more important question for me though is why you'd want to control your webcam from your mobile. The only feasible use I can think of is for home security or monitoring who is using your computer in which case, you'll find this an easy to use if not hugely reliable solution.

An easy way to control your webcam from your mobile although don't expect it to hold the connection.
