Behavior can sometimes be observed directly, and can also be affected by the presence of human observers. Technological devices have strongly advanced our understanding of certain aspects of animal behavior, and the small cameras borne in a straight line by study animals offer a reliable alternative to direct observation. One possible way to make animal welfare assessments easier and faster could be the application of audio and video data analysis. In this research, the main goal is to reach the requirements determination, and the construction to build a concurrent alternative to CCTV software based on new proprietary software, developed in Matlab® language, to record and capture video sequences in digital memory hardware. The proposed software stakeholders’ needs are written attending the specification in the ISO/IEC/IEEE 29148:2011 standard, and the life cycle adapted to the development was based in the standard ISO/IEC/IEEE 12207:2008. The main user interface was generated using the Matlab® GUI (Graphical User Interface). In the results, a resumed table with the final document of Requirement Specification (StRS) was generated and the main interface is coded. The system validation took place in the animal houses (bioterium) over a period of three months and the data collection and software usability reach the attendance to all the requirements listed. Thus, in the conclusions, it was observed that its users considered the developed software a good tool to help researches in the poultry and laying hens’ facility (bioterium).
