"Outstanding software, it makes webcaming look easy"
Version: Willing Webcam 4.92
Pros
Thanks to their tech rep Oleg, I who knew little about this concept was able to put a Laser Particulate Monitor display on my website This is a well designed product.
Cons
Your help files would benefit from actual examples so that non techies who do not understand the industry buzzwords would be able to produce the correct format. Fill out the page for us, and show us the picture.
Summary
I managed (with Oleg's help) to get a picture of a part of my screen on my web site, but it wants to hang over the side, and there is some kind of mountain scenery showing up to the right that I have no idea where it comes from.
The idea that I can crop my desktop to put just the area that I want to display is great, but your explanation of how to accomplish that is really sketchy and in my experience only trial and error got me something close to what I wanted. -
"First program that worked as designed including audio."
Version: Willing Webcam 4.8
Pros
This was the first web cam software I could find that actually supported streaming audio in the http server broadcast. It worked for all my uses which includes monitoring my home remotely, and recording audio/video for projects.
Cons
Its has a different menu system then the average program so it takes a few minutes to get used to operating it. Hardly a problem considering how well built this program is.
Summary
It has all the futures you would except from a webcam software, and its seems to be setup so that it does not seem bloated. The software doesn't use much cpu power compared to some others I have tried. It doesn't nag you. I contacted support with questions and was replied to same day, good service. I was so impressed with this program I decided to buy it for continued use. 5 star product here.

"Daps to the creater I think I tried them all."
Version: Willing Webcam 4.8
Pros
I had no problems setting up, even with so many features!
Cons
I believe this might be a common trait with motion detection but it appears to use alot of cpu.

"Nice software, but not free."
Version: Willing Webcam 4.1

"hmmm"
Version: Willing Webcam 4.1
Cons
So far I give it an "F". I'm running Win XP SP2 with all the latest upgrades. I downloaded and installed it and my PC immediately froze and crashed. I had to power down to reboot and then I started the program again. As I was reading the help screen and exploring the menus selections things got sluggish and my PC again crashed. I'm not one to give up easy though because I'm looking for a program like this but it obviously has to work. I'm going to try their tech support next.

"cool"
Version: Willing Webcam 3.9
Pros
Tech support is superb, directly from the author. Streams, timelapse, security features. XP compatible. Intuitive interface. Multiple camera support. USB, Camcorder, etc etc. We have run a webcam for 10 years and used a dozen programs. Willing webcam does it all with stability and flexibilty for a business or hobbyist.

"Lots of features, but very unintuitive interface..."
Version: Willing Webcam 3.9
Pros
Wide range of features including email alerts, FTP upload, recording video or snapshots, etc.
Cons
Horrible interface! I found it difficult to get a hang of using it, so much so I've abandoned it in favor of another product. It's like every option is jam-packed into the one screen, it was confusing and frustrating to use.
The help info is sparse, it describes the functions in plain but too simplistic language.

"Best webcam software I have used"
Version: Willing Webcam 2.7
Pros
This program does everything. Streaming, time-lapse, basic uploading of still images to a web page, you name it. The functions are endless. It has motion detection and image adjustment features like text and cropping. It has the best support I have ever seen, direct from the author. It is updated regularly and new features are being added. I have purchased Active webcam, ImageSalsa, Webcam32, WebcamXP and others but none come close to this program in XP stability, tech support, features, and ease of use. Our webcam gets 6000 hits a day and 30GB of downloads a month including time-lapse video. Willing Webcam has worked great. It supports multiple cameras of many types, webcam, camcorders, DirectX, video for windows, etc. I have a camera connected now via usb and another via a capture card with two copies of Willing Webcam running on the same XP machine. I can't say enough good things about this program. The full program is good deal and I recommend it over the lite version for just a little more money.
Cons
No cons really, Doesn't use the classic Windows graphic user interface but icons and buttons in this design prove to be as easy or even more intuitive.

"Outstanding"
Version: Willing Webcam 2.5
Pros
It leaves nothing out. Just like it says -turn your webcam into a security cam. Straight forward easy to configure. I am using it to record and take pictures when I'm not home -Nice Job!
Cons
Its not a real pretty interface but it is very functional -don't change a thing!
