CamCollect for Windows will download, display and save images from the many thousands of web cams available on the internet.
Images may be automatically enhanced before being displayed, captioned with site name and time, and automatically saved on disk, with file names based on the date and time (fully customisable) or with sequential numbers. CamCollect supports various techniques to overcome the anti-piracy schemes used by many web cams to prevent their images being linked from other sites. Streaming cams from sites such as Camarades may be captured as a series of stills.
A built-in image editor allows images to be viewed enlarged, cropped, have text added, be colour corrected, filtered or enhanced, and saved in various image formats. A single button launches a web browser for the webcam sites home page, and webcam site information can be imported from a text file to allow rapid set-up, and saved to text files to share with others.
While a normal web browser can be used to watch maybe two or three webcam sites, theres a high risk of missing interesting pictures and saving pictures for later viewing is painful since each must be individually file named as it is being saved.
CamCollect is designed to automatically monitor webcam sites, downloading, enhancing, displaying and saving images from each site.
CamCollect can monitor up to 1,000 pre-defined webcam sites that may be defined by the user or importing in bulk
Checks selected sites at pre-defined intervals, with up to four scheduling periods during the day
Tries to download only new images, but unchanged images are discarded (saves web bandwidth and disk space)
The latest pictures from up to 250 web sites are displayed on a tabbed dialog with age and site local time
CamCollect contacts up to 16 webcam sites simultaneously (PC processing power permitting) to maximise internet usage and stop dead or slow sites effecting collections |
