What's New in Security Monitor Pro 1.1?

1. Multiple Camera Support: You will find Security Monitor Pro prefect for your complex monitoring requirements.  No matter how large the area being monitored, you can set up a foolproof surveillance system thanks to the multiple camera support.  You can simultaneously preview, record, monitor, stream and upload using several locally attached cameras or network IP cameras.
2. Manual Recording: Any Preview window can be recorded using the Record button.  These recordings can be played back for future reference.
3. Individual Alerts: Alerts can be configured separately for each monitoring device.  This means better security as alerts are run if there is a slightest activity in any part of the area being monitored.  (For each camera, it is possible to select different triggering conditions and a different response.)
4. User-friendly Layout: Managing and previewing devices becomes very easy with the efficient user interface.  Quickly accessible monitoring and preview controls for all devices, the thumbnail view bar for instantly seeing the entire area being monitored by several devices put together, and scroll-to feature for locating specific device preview windows make surveillance relatively hassle-free.
