Capture from Webcam

[NegativeFactor]

Can anyone suggest a really simple little utility that will simply give me the ability to capture pictures from my webcam?

Cheers,

Fwink is a free and open source webcam application for Windows. It takes images from your camera at timed intervals and puts them on your web site with FTP (or can store them on your hard drive as well). You can add effects like text messages and time stamps.

I use it myself. It's really tiny, and does it's job well.

Take a look here: http://www.camportal.co.uk/index.php?page=soft&type=win32

Most of these apps can take pics and upload them automatically, or just take a pic to your hdd.

SpeedY: Have you tried Dorgem yet? How does it compare with Fwink?

 

[SPeedY_B]

I'm using dorgem all the time now Only because I'm using the server mode though, if I only wanted FTP, then Fwink would be the #1 choice

 

[NetRyder]

Great! So I'll stick to Fwink for now then.

Do any of these apps have a timed video capture function? I've used Capture Studio Pro, but it is full of bugs which gets pretty annoying.

Is the camportal working for you ?
Seems to be screwed here hammer refresh a few times and it works though... I'm just confused.

ditto speedy took a refresh........

said it was forbiden or sumin

 

[SPeedY_B]

Bloody windows server, it's screwed up

ummm redirecting..................back to itself

 

[SPeedY_B]

No, It's redirecting from index.htm to index.php because Windows Server 2003 is utter ****

Sorry for breaking up the converstation but thatnks for solving my problem. I'm using Dorgem, works a treat, thanks.

Continue talking now..

Heh, cool

As regards to the webcam portal, the re-direct has been removed and the provider is looking into it.
So until everything is fixed, just open http://camportal.co.uk/index.php or whack refresh a few times to get it working.
btw: I hate Windows server 2003
