Sighthound Video is very user friendly but it runs multiple processes that take up a huge amount of memory. It comes with a remote access option to turn on or off the camera and view recordings.

After adding a camera, the actions can be easily configured from the flexible rules editor. Previously known as Vitamin D Video, Sighthound Video aims to be a more intelligent video software by being able to recognize humans or objects on camera rather than simply detecting motion through frame comparison. There is a password protect function but didn’t work for us. Two unique features that can be found in Sentry Vision are the ability to remote control the software by sending commands to a listening Gmail account and also the ability to hide the program so that normal users won’t know that the webcam is being monitored. Motion detection, broadcast, schedule, email and sound alert are included. It can record both video from a webcam and audio from a microphone if it is available on the computer.

“Our mantra is to make computer vision easy to use - that now includes customers who want to deploy solutions on mobile devices.Sentry Vision is free webcam surveillance software that only works on webcams and not on IP cameras. The software is able to perform real time recognition on live video feeds, and is not restricted to still images or locked inside Apple applications.”Offering scalable computer vision software implementations from the cloud to embedded portable devices is essential to our value proposition,” said Stephen Neish, CEO of Sighthound. Traditional deep networks are so computationally expensive that they require cloud based server arrays or GPU accelerated hardware.At CVPR Sighthound will demonstrate face detection, recognition and tracking software running on iPhone 6 and iPad Pro. Networking firm Sighthound has announced that it has ported its advanced facial recognition software to mobile handheld platforms.In a statement, Sighthound said face detection, recognition and tracking software is the latest addition to the Sighthound Sentry suite of computer vision capabilities.The firm will be demonstrating cell phone and tablet based implementations at this week's CVPR conference in Las Vegas, Nevada.Sighthound specializes in building deep networks that run in real time and require less training data than those prevalent in the industry.
