Even more so if e.g..We do not want to spend too much on dedicated IP cameras and we will think that a regular camera in the computer is enough for us or connected to it on USB.Yes, you can send the image or even save it to the disk, but in the case of burglary or e.g..flooding or fire of the apartment, all notes will be lost.

All these problems are tried to solve the newly created Polish Siepatrzy website.pl.Due to some restrictions, it will not be useful for large corporations, but for small and medium -sized companies or ordinary users it looks like a very attractive proposition.

The biggest advantage.pl is undoubtedly the price.We will not pay a penny for using the service in which we can connect four computer/USB or IP cameras.We checked this, and in fact everything works as it should - when registering, it is not necessary to provide any payment data, and the configuration is trivial - just install a small application and enter our login and password.In the case of IP cameras, the whole procedure looks even easier and of course does not require a computer turned on.

And this is what can be considered a second big advantage.PL - You can combine various cameras in any way without any problems, and the images obtained by them are viewed in one simple and transparent console available by the browser.What is almost equally important, we can access to a mobile phone browser (although it must support Flash), and the entire service is optimized for work also on small screens.

The only element that requires scrolling on a smartphone is, of course, the video itself, which (and how differently) is displayed in panoramic format.However, it would be difficult to count on the fact that this problem could be solved in any way.The ground is that the entire interface is suitable for finger support, and if necessary, just click twice to enjoy the full video image.

With all this, in accordance with the declarations, the load on the network of the image transmission in a resolution of 640x480 is not particularly noticeable, at least with a connector offering a bandwidth of about 3 Mb/s "up".Is it actually a burden less than other similar websites - it's hard to say.The most important thing, however, is that we do not have to worry about the fact that a active camera left at home can, for example.prevent network browsing.However, if we have an extremely free connection, you can easily change the resolution of the transmitted recordings.

At the same time, the image quality is the most acceptable and the minimum delay.

Fortunately, it does not end in the live preview itself.From the level of internet control, you can turn off and turn on once configured cameras (even computer ones) at any time.It is a pity that you will have to wait a bit for a set of more interesting tools.At present, the sowing.PL works great if we want to monitor ourselves, e.g..selected room and from time to time look what is happening in it.

In case, however, we would like to check what happened in it at a given time, we do not have such an option yet.This will appear soon, together with premium accounts.They will allow you to save the image from the camera in the cloud for a specific time and any access to materials from a given period.In this way, capture, for example.The moment of burglary or other event will be much better, and the whole system - much more useful.

In turn, in the case of companies, a similar solution will be available in a basic (though paid) package.Video recordings will be saved as standard for 48 hours, and the image from the cameras will be able to easily be made available to many users.

For now, however, we have a free version, which allows us to check whether e.g..We need this type of monitoring at all.Some may do without him, but some people may not know if he would not be useful for them, or they did not know how to go for him.Of course, applications are in abundance - from proper monitoring of the apartment or office for fear of theft, to supervision, e.g..our animal, left unattended at home for a long time.

And in such applications.PL is better than decently, providing access to the image from our cameras in a simple and convenient way.Small reservations can only have a graphic design (not all elements are displayed correctly in all browsers), but this does not affect the comfort of use.The only question remains how much you will have to wait for the "Premium" function and how high they will be valued.

The privacy of our recordings is another issue.Of course, it is difficult to suspect the service of bad intentions, but nevertheless many people can have some resistance before storing recordings from their homes on someone else's disks.Even if this ensures a greater probability of recording copies.
