Review by Frederick Barton (Cybersecurity Editor)

No one likes it when their private space is being invaded, regardless if it happens at home or at work. If you want proof that someone went through your office or accessed your computer, you would have to get a bit creative. If you have a webcam, you can use Rear View Mirror to improvise your own security system. The application can detect motion through a webcam and it notifies you if someone gets caught on camera.

Rear View Mirror is freeware and it is very easy to install. It works without any problems on Windows XP and any later edition, up to Windows 8. You don't have to meet any special requirements or sacrifice too many resources.

Discretion is one of Rear View Mirror's key features. It works in the background and you may control its features through a system tray icon. You have to navigate through different sub-menus to control webcam feeds, add new ones or start a video server.

The application can monitor feeds from local webcams and remote MJPEG cameras. All you have to do is select a source, on a small window, if you want to add a local camera or paste a URL, if you wish to add a remote camera. If you can hook up multiple webcams to your computer, you can set the application to monitor all feeds separately.

Camera feeds are displayed on separate windows and you can hide or reveal them just by clicking the application's system tray icon. You can also make a series of global configurations or make the same settings for individual feeds. You have to point your camera to a static scenery. If the application detects motion, it will display the feed on your screen. It can alert you by playing sounds and it can start recording as well.

Pros

Rear View Mirror can monitor several webcam feeds, while working in the background. It displays a feed on your screen right away, when it detects motion. The application can also play sounds and record your feeds.

Cons

A feature for sending email notifications would be more than welcomed. With Rear View Mirror, you can set up your own motion detection security system, in just a few minutes, without any effort.
