VISEC Download free
Windows surveillance software · 24 years · since 2002

Watch your cameras. Get told when something moves.

VISEC turns the IP cameras you already own into a full security system on your own Windows PC — live view, recording on motion, and an email with a picture the moment it happens. We have been building it since 2002, and we built the world's first IP-based plate recognition system along the way. Free 1 camera license for life — including a free worldwide LPR license.

Setup

Three steps. About five minutes.

If you can install a program, you can do this.

  1. Install

    Run VISEC on any Windows 10 or 11 PC you already have.

  2. Press scan

    VISEC searches your network and finds your IP cameras. Pick one and you're watching live.

  3. Tell it what to watch

    Choose the part of the picture that matters and how sensitive it should be. VISEC records when something moves and emails you a picture.

Will it work with mine?

We support 99% of all cameras.

If it is an IP camera built to the ONVIF standard — and nearly every camera sold today is — VISEC works with it, whoever made it. Older analog and USB cameras work too.

Access control

Unlock a door, open a gate, switch on a light or sound a siren from a camera event, using the inputs and outputs on ONVIF and Axis cameras.

How it works

QR code reading

VISEC reads QR codes straight from the camera picture. No scanner and no extra software, and it can run an action on what it reads.

Where it helps

Number plates

Plate recognition logs every vehicle that passes and can trigger on a match. Useful on a gate, a yard or a car park.
