(PRWEB) March 15, 2006 -- Logitech is selling a great webcam with pan and tilt functions called "Orbit". However, they really dropped the ball with the software: you can't pan and tilt the cam via the Internet.

Enter LogiSphere. Seiz System Engineering out of Switzerland has written a great program that is a full-blown web server that will pan, tilt and zoom the Orbit through a web interface, deliver web-configurable video streams, write full log files, password-protect access and more.

The embedded windows media server make streaming video and audio simple.

The latest release of the software supports zoom for any windows video device. The list of supported devices currently shows 415 entries: http://logisphere.seiz.ch/en/features/webcam/devices_html

The application is in use for many purposes. Here just a few examples:

- pet owners keep an eye on their animals while they are at work
- parents run a live video stream for the grand parents to see their grand children playing
- house owners use motion detection to see who was at their front door
- stores use live pictures and video streams to advertise their products on a website


The software comes with a set of preconfigured pages which show all the features.
These pages can easily be changed to fit individual requirements, no programming skills required.

The software is available from this website: http://logisphere.seiz.ch
