Willing WebCam is a webcam software that helps you use your web camera for video streaming, surveillance, instant messaging, and more. Willing Webcam will surprise you with its many features.
With Willing Webcam, you can record your daily activities as live streaming video to share with your friends and family. No matter where they are, your friends and family can visit your web site to see what you're doing at the moment. You can also create your own streaming videos for YouTube, and other video-sharing sites.
If you're away from home often, you can use this webcam software to detect any motion in your home. Remote management allows you to send an e-mail, SMS message, or http command to control the webcam. You can use Willing Webcam to monitor housekeepers, nannies, and other visitors to your home.
To save the evidence, upload the files to an FTP site or send e-mail with attachments to your own e-mail address. This webcam program uses a motion control sensor to activate the camera and trigger an action, for example, sending an e-mail or SMS message, uploading to an FTP site, sounding an alarm, or starting another application.
The time-lapse function of Willing WebCam will help you record a video at a certain time point. Using it like a DVR (digital video recorder), you can record frame by frame and then view the movie later. Willing Webcam integrates seamlessly with instant messenger programs such as Skype and Windows Live Messenger.
This is handy for a video chat with your friends or a meeting with business associates scattered all over the world. In addition, if your video equipment doesn't work with IM, Willing Webcam can transfer the video stream using an intermediate driver.
Willing Webcam works with most USB and FireWire (IEEE 1394) video devices, including webcams, camcorders, TV and video capture cards, TV tuners, and IP network cameras. It also supports the pan, tilt, and zoom functions of Logitech QuickCam Orbit cameras.
