When a Web-Cam is set at a site, it captures a shot every few seconds. These shots can be accumulated on a server for later review, or can be immediately available on the net. Authorized people can see what is going on at the site from almost anywhere, in real-time. All that is needed is a browser, Internet connection, and of course, the right authority/password.

This technology has a wide range of applications. From home-based applications such babysitter monitoring, all the way to more professional levels. One application in particular is the construction site monitoring. With this technology at hand, there is no need for project managers to make frequent trips to remote construction sites. They can monitor and control the sites from the convenience of their offices, homes, or anywhere with an Internet connection. This technology allows them to be more productive by focusing on more important tasks, rather than spending time on the road.

With the zoom/wide feature, you can remotely zoom-in for a more detailed view, or zoom-out to have a wider view of the site. Take a look at this technology in action.
