Take photos with your webcam

As I wanted a program to save the images displayed by the webcamera, and as the ones I looked at were useless, I decided to knock up this quick and dirty application.

Image

It shows the last 12 images taken, and also saves them all in a Snapshots directory. It won't overwrite the previous images, it just keeps adding to a counter (as the screenshots folder works in JKA).

Start/Stop: turns the camera on and off
Snap Shot: can also be activated by clicking the video image
Open folder: opens explorer to the folder where the images are
You can click on the thumbnails to open the default image viewer
Edit: when depressed it will launch the default editor instead of the default viewer when clicking a thumbnail

The program can be got from: -
http://www.egonomics.com/Software/Webcam.exe

This is a stand-alone program, it doesn't need an installer/uninstaller, it will just run from where-ever it placed. Its locked to a 640x480 resolution webcam, but I can change that if needed. Its pretty barebones so if this is useful to anyone and you want more features, just ask :P

It doesn't create any other files except the images, it doesn't change any settings or write to the registry. I can provide the source code (written in Delphi) if anyone is interested.

I'd like to see the source code :P

Looks like a good program too Jaw, definately better than having to go to a folder after taking the picture D: Can you organize the photos in the program after you take them?

@ Sen, and yup, but its a degree !
@ Nec, source code
@ Nec, its just history, a gallery, not an organiser (heaps of free apps that can do that though)
@ S1, lol, good images man

Ok, as I knew resolution would be the first issue, I've already fixed it: -

Software updated. Timer on camera, detects when images are deleted - just general tidy-up, more features.
See original post for usage: -

Edit: @ Sera - Bachelor of Applied Science - Computing
That was back when there was only 1 (yes one) degree offered per University for computing and IT. It was "the" computer degree (back in 1990).
And sorry I missed that question before!
