What's new in Willing WebCam 5.5

Feb 22, 2012
  • The new video source has been added. Please see the 'Video device > Video Source' pull-down list and its corresponding 'Source' button list above the preview window. This video source allows you to capture screenshots of a program window in real time, so you can use the Crop options to select video areas on the program window. Expand the Crop option and drag the mouse above the preview window to make that. Collapse the option to remove the yellow border. The 'Program Window' video source is especially useful for those network cameras that are not directly supported by the program and for publishing dynamic program output. The source program must not be minimized. Besides if you close the source program and then open it again, restart the video source because Windows assigns a new identifier to the new program window.

New in Willing WebCam 5.4 (Dec 7, 2011)

  • The new video source, 'Web Page', has been added. Please see the ‘Video device > Video Source’ drop-down list and its corresponding ‘Source’ button above the preview window. This video source allows you to capture screenshots of a web page in real time so you can use the Crop options to select video areas on the web page. Expand the Crop option and drag the mouse above the preview window to do it. Collapse the option to remove the yellow border. If your web page is static, enable the ‘Video device > Video Source > Web Page > Cycle’ option to refresh the page at a certain interval. You don’t have to do it for dynamic web pages. Unfortunately, it’s not possible to capture java applets on web pages so you will see an empty page background or a black rectangle instead of the java applet if the page contains one. The ‘Web Page’ video source is especially useful for those network cameras that are not directly supported by the program. You have to specify the direct address of the page with the video preview in the camera’s web interface. Don’t forget about the Authentication options. If you change the web address, restart the video source again.

New in Willing WebCam 5.3 (Jul 26, 2011)

  • The program offers you the opportunity to upload webcam images to the Willing Software site. The 'HTTP Upload > Subscription' command has been added. Disable this option if you prefer to upload to your own web site in the old fashion. Webcam Gallery service is intended for people who don't have web hosting or don't have the time to support it. The Willing Webcam program uploads images to our web site and your visitors can view your web page according to the defined access level. The service has a design panel to create and manage your web page yourself. If you like image galleries, you can insert an enhanced image gallery into your web page using just one string.
  • The default program screen, a few toolbar icons, and the program icon have been changed.
