Willing Webcam Lite enables sharing of videos and pictures globally with friends and family. Its features include motion detection, enhancement effects, video surveillance, time lapse, and IM integration.
One standout aspect of Willing Webcam Lite is its ability to record your daily activities as live streaming video, which you can share with friends and family or upload to video-sharing sites like YouTube and Vimeo. Another impressive feature is the motion control sensor, which can activate the camera and trigger an action such as sounding an alarm, capturing a picture or video, or starting an application.
For those who are frequently away from home, Willing Webcam Lite can be used to detect motion in your home and provide surveillance. It's perfect for monitoring housekeepers, nannies, and other visitors to your home. The time-lapse function is also a useful feature for recording videos at specific time points, similar to a DVR.
Willing Webcam Lite works seamlessly with instant messaging programs like Skype and Windows Live Messenger, allowing for easy video chats with friends and business associates from around the world. And if your video equipment doesn't work with IM, Willing Webcam can transfer the video stream using an intermediate driver.
In addition to all of these features, the program allows you to upload webcam images to the Willing Software site through the Webcam Gallery service, which is great for people who don't have web hosting or don't have time to support it. And don't worry about compatibility - Willing Webcam Lite works with most USB and FireWire (IEEE 1394) video devices, including webcams, camcorders, TV and video capture cards, TV tuners, Canon digital cameras, and IP network cameras. Plus, it even supports the pan, tilt, and zoom functions of Logitech QuickCam Orbit cameras.
