Version: Active WebCam 5.8
Pros: I have an X-10 camera system and have tried a few of their software programs to no avail..kept crashing my computer all the time. This one seems to work much better. The motion detector portion of it is a bit flakey however and my email would be flooded if I let it email me every time it thought there was motion. I don't have a webspace set up for ftp uploads and I don't want to have an open port on my computer so for the time being I will see how the live recording on my computer goes. Nice interface, good features, easier to use than I thought it would be.
Cons: You can't use the same camera with this program and instant messenger. I think that you can only have one software using the camera at a time. If the cam is on this program, Yahoo Messenger will crash. I CAN use it with two cameras, the outdoor one on this program and my computer cam on Yahoo.

"Conflicts with Yahoo webcam. Not as easy to use as stated. Left me confused."
Pros: If I can get it to work right it can be very useful.
Cons: When I downloaded it I went through the process but did not understand how to actually get it to publish to the web. When I tried to uninstall it I have not been able to use my webcam via Yahoo since. I tried to uninstall and reinstall both programs and still won't work.

"I have just beginn to use this program to my own Webcamera from Logitech."
Pros: And it seem to work as it should when my Webcamera and this program can work together when they can notice my own moving in my room there it stands, and have made my camera even more faster, so I can see my pictures much quicker allready! To they who shall download this kind of software can do this very good, and I can only recommending everyone to use it.
