CamStop

CamStop is an easy-to-use software program that gives you the possibility to measure time between movements captured by your webcam device. It comes packed with an uncomplicated set of options that can be figured out even by those less experienced with webcam tools.

Before installing the utility, make sure to have .NET Framework installed, as it was created with the help of this software framework. The setup operation should be smooth from there on, since there are no special options or third-party offers offered for setup.

Once launched, CamStop brings up a standard window to the screen, asking you to pick the webcam device from a drop-down menu, in case you have more than one plugged in or built into the PC.

The webcam is automatically started afterward, and the footage is displayed in a small frame. The capturing frequency can be adjusted by moving a slider to make the application more or less sensitive to the movements in front of the camera.

The differences between any two points are recorded in the list and displayed in seconds and milliseconds. What's more, you can calculate the average time with one click, clear all scores, enable or disable detection, as well as start, stop or reset the stopper.

Unfortunately, the developer hasn't updated this software application for a long time, and this is probably why we failed to get it working on later Windows editions in our tests. It still runs on older versions, though.

System resources consumption was minimal in our tests, so CamStop didn't hamper the computer's performance. On the other hand, it's not built to mark the date and time of recording, nor to log all these details to file. Other than that, it's easy to use by anyone.
