Easy and cheap surveillance with Vitamin D 1.0!

Ok, when’s the last time someone told you to give your computer vitamins?  We try to protect our computers from viruses with antivirus software, so what would giving your computer vitamins do?  Well, antivirus (and antimalware) software protects your computer from digital harm and data theft, but vitamins might protect your computer and more from physical theft!  Well, Vitamin D that is.

Vitamin D is an amazingly powerful home security program that was just released after a beta testing period.  I recently reviewed several home surveillance programs, and came away exceedingly impressed with Vitamin D.  This program lets you easily monitor your home with as many webcams as you’d like.  All that video would be hard to process, though, so this is where Vitamin D’s power shines.  It has sophisticated searching capabilities that let you identify motion at specific places in your video and be immediately notified via email when motion is detected.  Then, if you want to review your video, you can see those instances and can even add new criteria to monitor.  It will then immediately rescan your video and show you the motion from the new area you selected.  I tested this in the Beta version, and it worked great!  This is only a sampling of Vitamin D’s features, so check out their feature list for more information.

The best part is the price.  Vitamin D is available as a free Starter edition for 1 webcam and QVGA video, or you can purchase a Basic edition ($49) for 2 cameras and up to VGA resolution or a Pro edition ($199) for an unlimited number of cameras.  This makes it accessible to everyone, and you can easily choose the level of power you need.  So if you’d like to make your home more secure with hardware you already have, check out Vitamin D … you might find that vitamins make your computer better, too!
