#Xeoma security software review archive#

I’ve noticed some issues with the archive playback, where it would jump me back to the current preview as if I never went to the archive at all. No other software offers this!īut it hasn’t been perfect. I can apparently run an instance of Xeoma on one, powerful server and set it up to do all the work, then run another instance of Xeoma on my laptop, tell it to connect to the server, and I can control the Xeoma server as if it were on the laptop. Now I can just watch one tape, not four 🙂 Another feature that I have read about, but been unable to test so far, is remote access.

Unite two unitor modules together, and you can fit four cameras into one output, be it a web page or a file. A rather simple concept, it can unite two camera feeds together into one image. Speaking of filters, a particular one I’ve liked so far has been the unitor. No menus, no multiple windows, just, flow. You can see in front of you how the images from the camera will flow through different filters and to your output plugins. Because that’s exactly what it is, a workflow. One of the first things you will notice with Xeoma when you start it up and hit the config is the workflow.

While hunting down some zoneminder windows alternatives, Xeoma came up on a forum. I’ve found some other softwares, for example WebcamXP(Does not like my custom MJPG-Streamer IP-Camera), iSpy(Does not have external web interface without subscription),and I looked at Zoneminder, but the Linux requirement has kept that one off-field for now.Įnter Xeoma( ). Cameras I have, but a piece of software to tie several of them together into a CCTV, I do not.

As some of you may know, I play around a lot with webcams, trying to see if a cheap USB camera can do as good a job as a $100 surveillance camera. Today I’d like to tell you all about something I’ve come across recently.
