CamCollect for Windows will download, display and save images from the
many thousands of webcams available on the internet. CamCollect monitors
up to 1,000 pre-defined webcam sites, only downloads new images to save
web bandwidth, supports authentication for members only sites, and
contacts up to 16 webcam sites simultaneously to maximise internet usage
and stop dead or slow sites effecting collections. Optionally, captured
images are shown in a thumbnail window allowing rapid viewing.
Images may be automatically enhanced before being displayed, captioned
with site name and time, and automatically saved on disk, with file names
based on the date and time (fully customisable) or with sequential
numbers. CamCollect supports various techniques to overcome the
anti-piracy schemes used by many webcams to prevent their images being
linked from other sites. Streaming cams from sites such as Camarades
may be captured as a series of stills.
A built-in image editor allows images to be viewed enlarged, cropped,
have text added, be colour corrected, filtered or enhanced, and saved in
various image formats. A single button launches a web browser for the
webcam site's home page, and webcam site information can be imported
from a text file to allow rapid set-up, and saved to text files to share
with others.
CamCollect is shareware, developed by Magenta Systems Ltd, in England.
Until registered, CamCollect will stop automatically capturing webcam
pictures after five minutes, but may still be used to capture single
pictures. CamCollect Release 2 registration costs £25 (UKP) which is
about US$37 or 42 Euro. Existing users of CamCollect Release 1 may
upgrade to Release 2 for £15 (UKP). |
