QualityCapture

QualityCapture is a software utility developed specifically to help people take high-quality pictures with their web cameras and save them to the hard drive, in a JPG format.

After a typical installation process, you are met with a simple interface, which can be used by any type of person, regardless of their previous experience with computers. In addition to that, it is comprised of two panels, which enable you to view the live feed from the webcam, as well as the captures taken.

With this program it is possible to improve the quality of the pictures, as you can use a noise reduction tool. To be more exact, you can merge a specified number of photos (from 2 to 25).

This application also incorporates a motion detector, which logs the time and date at which something moved on camera, and even takes a picture of that moment. You can configure the webcam's sensitivity, as well as save the captures on your HDD.

It is possible to take snapshots at regular intervals, by scheduling this software tool to autosave them at a user-input number of hours, minutes and seconds.

A small setback is the fact that you cannot choose the output folder, as QualityCapture saves all items into “My Pictures”.

There are no Help contents provided, yet seeing how easy it is to work with this utility, it becomes apparent that they are not actually needed.

CPU and memory usage is moderate to low, yet response time is good. In conclusion, QualityCapture is a handy piece of software when it comes to taking snapshots with your web camera, be it for fun or for surveillance purposes.
