WebCam Recorder

WebCam Recorder is a Windows software solution designed to record anything on your screen, offering at the same time a built-in media player to view your recordings on the go.

The application is very easy to use and it shouldn't take more than a minute or two before getting used to it.

It relies on a minimal interface with nifty buttons that offer you instant access to its main features but, at the same time, it also sports a detailed settings menu for a more advanced configuration.

WebCam Recorder can record not only all webcams, but also any streaming media source. It provides a handy “Record Wizard” feature to define the screen you wish to record, with separate profiles that can be saved after each successful configuration wizard.

The “Settings” menu enables you to change AVI compression, but also the way the app handles AVI playback, allowing you to choose between the built-in player and the default Windows app. Also, you can configure the audio device to record the sound, but also the default locations to save the recordings.

While it supports hotkeys and even comes with predefined settings, you cannot change the default ones, which means you're stuck with the standard configuration.

The recording process goes as smooth as it gets and the application needs just a moderate amount of resources, even when creating a new recording.

So overall, WebCam Recorder is one of the best tools of its kind, but a few improvements here and there are still necessary, especially regarding the way it interacts with less experienced users.
