As iSpy has matured more applications for the technology have become apparent - most obviously security. Existing security and surveillance software is typically expensive, dated and limited with closed source and poor control over sensitivity, lacking in features, virtually no audio support and restrictive limits on data usage. I put all my effort into tackling these problems right from the start. iSpy was written with an enormous feature set that is continually added to whilst using standardised code to connect to the vast majority of web cams and IP cameras available today.

The original aim of creating iSpy to be as sensitive to movement and sound as possible means that it makes an awesome camera security system. There are so many applications for iSpy and people are using it in so many different ways that i'm constantly amazed by the stories I hear - from whale watching, to storm monitoring, meteor showers, protecting top secret documents and yes, even the odd UFO!  IDsi515

MemTest is a RAM reliability tester that runs under Windows. It evaluates the ability of your computer to store and retrieve data accurately. A correctly functioning computer should be able to do both these tasks with 100% accuracy day in and day out. A computer that fails these tests, perhaps because of old hardware, damaged hardware, or poorly configured hardware, will be less stable and crash more often. Even worse, it will become even less stable over time as corrupted data is written to your hard disk.
By running MemTest you can ensure that your computer's RAM is correctly functioning. It is wise to test this when you buy a new computer, install new RAM, or change the configuration of your machine (for instance, to overclock it). Are you the sort of user who likes to push the performance of your machine to the edge? Relying upon whether your machine will boot after your new BIOS tweaks is a poor way to determine the safety of your new settings. Use MemTest as a true test of stability.  IDSi505

The power to speed up your computer's startup process.
When Windows loads it's Startup file, it attempts to load every program in there at the same time. Therefore if you have quite a lot of programs starting when Windows starts, each program will try and grab CPU time so that it can load.
If each program tries to do this at the same time, you soon notice the slow down that occurs, due to your CPU trying to help all the programs to load, and your hard disk accessing multiple files.
Startup Delayer allows you to setup how many seconds after Windows has started, to load each program. For Example:
If you have your mail program and a special clock starting up, then you can make your mail start say 10 seconds after Windows has loaded, and then the special clock start 20 seconds after Windows Starts.
