Yawcam is an excellent webcam streaming and security application. It is easy to set up and use, and has a wide range of features to customize your security and streaming settings. The motion detection feature is especially useful for monitoring your home or office. The ability to assign passwords to protect the content from unwanted access is also a great feature. Overall, Yawcam is a great choice for anyone looking for an easy to use, secure webcam streaming and security application.

Yawcam is intended to stream your camera’s signal via HTTP and FTP. The tool lets you share the captured video by providing others with the cam’s IP. The recipient can then adjust such parameters as video quality, the number of frames per second and scale. The broadcast signal is available not only on the local network but also to other remote users, but this requires configuring port forwarding on your router. Your being worried about unauthorized people accessing your video streaming is logical, that is why it is good to know that it can be protected by a password.

The program can be used for surveillance purposes. In this respect, it is possible to activate motion detection. Luckily, you can avoid false alarms by adjusting its sensitivity and tolerance levels as well as defining the monitored area. When a motion event is detected, the tool can save video or images to file, upload them to an FTP site, send an email to a given address, run an executable file or play an alarm sound. more
