The Lorex DVM5031 provides you with a low-cost solution for monitoring your home or office using a USB Web camera. Because this is not an IP camera, there's no need for any networking expertise and basically anyone with a personal computer will find it easy to configure and operate. The great thing about this system is that it lets you use your existing PC and monitor to handle all your security needs.
Included with the camera is a comprehensive software program that provides you with the capabilities similar to that of a standalone DVR. This program will allow you to view camera images right on your computer monitor and also record images to the PC's hard drive for future review. As with a DVR, recording doesn't have to be continuous but can be programmed to begin at a certain date and time or when motion is detected. This will save you storage space and will also make it a lot easier to locate a particular footage.
