Motion Monitor is a light-weight, easy to configure security application. Just set up a web cam, or any other DirectShow compliant device, and use Motion Monitor to keep watch. As you can see in the screen shot below, Motion Monitor is easy to setup and even easier to use. Just plug in your capture device, start Motion Monitor and adjust the 5 configuration options. Then watch as Motion Monitor detects motion in each frame, and displays the motion it detects. If the motion detected is over the threshold that you configured it will save a JPEG in the /Output/ folder under the installation folder.

You should only download the Source version if you’re interested in hacking around with Motion Monitor. You will need Visual Studio 2005 Express or higher to use the Source. Since Motion Monitor was one of my first C# applications, much of the source code is hobbled together from tutorials around the internet, with most of it from the DirectShow.NET tutorial on CodeProject.com. Thanks to CodeProject.com for helping me get my feet wet!
