VISEC
Free for life on one camera license: VISEC turns a Windows 10/11 PC into a video surveillance system with license plate recognition built in. Press scan and it finds your ONVIF IP cameras (Hikvision, Dahua, Reolink, Amcrest, Axis, Uniview, Tapo and 99% of ONVIF cameras). Watch every camera live across up to 8 monitors, record only when something moves in the zones you draw, and get an email with a snapshot the moment it happens. Recordings stay on your own drive: no cloud, no subscription. Included in every license, even the free one: number plate recognition (over 100 kph, 80%+ of countries, GPU accelerated), QR code reading, access control that opens gates and doors through ONVIF and Axis camera I/O, remote viewing, and Secret mode, where one hotkey hides VISEC completely and the same hotkey brings it back while it keeps recording. More cameras are a one-time purchase. Made by the same team since 2002.
