Yawcam is a Windows program for configuring a custom video surveillance system based on consumer grade web cameras. There is an option to enable precise motion detection as well, adding an extra layer of protection. Please note that Java Runtime Environment is necessary for the correct functioning of all features.

Video streaming

After registering an account you are able to interact with the utility via a web console. It is possible to keep track of multiple webcams connected to the local PC. Additionally, instruments to take still pictures at regular intervals are included. This is particularly beneficial when reconstructing potential security events.

Users can protect their broadcasts with a personal password, ensuring that third parties are not able to access sensitive recordings. Moreover, Yawcam runs through the internal server, which eliminates the need for external services.

Advanced motion detection

The utility employs modern artificial intelligence algorithms to identify moving objects in the field of view. You are able to configure further actions like capturing images or sending notifications.

There is a powerful integrated scheduler. It empowers users to set active periods for video streaming or toggle motion detection depending on the time of day.
