i-Catcher is used by over 100,000 people worldwide for CCTV and surveillance, utilising advanced motion detection technology coupled with standard Windows desktop PCs to monitor and record from a wide variety of cameras and video sources.

Flexibility without confusion

i-Catcher's popularity is due to total flexibility of system configuration, whilst maintaining a simple-to-use user interface. This allows i-Catcher to be used "out of the box" with little to no configuration for the novice user, whilst the expert can adjust every aspect precisely according to application. This increases i-Catcher's appeal to both home-users setting up a simple webcam or security camera through to our many CCTV partners and resellers throughout the world.

Suitability of applications

The i-Catcher product range is designed to maximise the features of a full CCTV system. While the base applications provide the core CCTV monitoring and recording support through the single-camera Sentry and multi-camera Console, the i-Catcher product range includes numerous support applications providing multi-point monitoring via i-Catcher Monitor/PocketMonitor, and distributed video sources via i-Catcher Video Server. This covers the whole process from camera to CCTV monitor.

Distributed video processing

i-Catcher is designed from the outset to support a distributed processing model, utilising standard Windows networks as the communication path. A large CCTV system can be split between computers by running the i-Catcher Sentry client at points closest to the camera locations. These clients then feed back into a Central console which performs the final recording, easing processor usage by spreading the load.

Web Intergration

i-Catcher integrates with your web presence in many ways, by FTP upload and various types of live video stream. i-Catcher can be used as a standalone CCTV system on the internet, or can be integrated transparently into your website. i-Catcher is not limited to live streams - the web interface provided can also be used as a playback system, all while continually monitoring and recording.
