Software that will FTP video on motion/event?

Recommended Posts

Brand new to this..my current setup is a dedicated windows machine with a q-see dvr card (analog cctv, not ipcams). The software that came with the card (SuperDVR) seems to do everything I could want a 21st century residential security system to do with the exception of having a way to FTP videos based on events like motion, alarm, etc.

 

Is there any software out there that offers that feature, preferably open source/freeware? My requirements are:

o CCTV/Analog (that hopefully is compatible with my dvr card)

o Motion activated e-mail alerts with frame captures

o Remote Internet viewing

o And of course the motion/event/trigger activated FTP/remote network backup feature which is the only one my current software doesn't have

 

I have seen a truck load of products boast "remote network backup" and even throw "FTP" in there somewhere but when you look closely at the features, that translates into you logging into the system remotely and performing the backup yourself to a USB drive (a deceptive way to give remote Internet viewing a second bullet if you ask me).

 

So I want this capability to have more than a couple of still frames in the event an observant thief takes the box on his way out the door. With that said, I'm also interested in any and all feedback/recommendations on how to deter or prevent physical theft of the security system itself. Thanks in advance!
