Transfer JPEG images to a specified location at configurable intervals.
This is a tiny minimalistic yet powerful Webcam program that uses FTP to transfer JPEG images to a specified location at configurable intervals. Configurable paramaters include: image quality, intermediary image location, FTP transfer options, window zoom, preview frame rate, and camera settings. The program runs in the tray and is unobtrusive. The program is a single executable.
In the options menu, I often got a GUIBuilder script error message requiring a restart of the program. I'm using W7 64 bit. This happened enough to be a significant annoyance.
Summary
This would be reasonably good software if the bug mentioned above was fixed.<br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on Jan 23, 2011<p/>In an update, I just got a new Dell laptop today running W7 64 bit. It did install but then crashed every time I tried to use it. My Logitech software worked fine.

Pros
It's very easy to set-up. Captures a snapshot from your camera and saves it as a jpg . You can set the capture rate. You can then use the captured image to feed it to your web-site.<p>Big thank you to the developer.
Cons
Not clear on how to use the FTP feature.
Summary
Great for periodic FTP of a webcam image

Pros
No installer. Found my camera easily. There's a preview window that you can right-click in to change all the settings. Allows FTP the camera image periodically (e.g. every 5 seconds) to a single filename (e.g. image.jpg). You can adjust the resolution, JPG quality, periodic update, and other settings. Runs in the system tray when hidden. A great piece of software and exactly what I was looking for to keep an eye on the dogs while I'm at work.
Cons
It'd be nice to allow a series of images to be kept and rotated through (e.g. image000.jpg, image001.jpg, etc.), but this is a minor nitpick.
