computer web cam question

[AAP]

ok, I have a small Veo web cam for my computer that I use for conference calls in work.

My question is it possible to situate this camera to face one direction and have it take a picture at a timed interval? Something like take a pic every 60 seconds or every 3 minutes or whatever? And each picture be saved to a file on the desktop?

I know it can record videos as well (never tried it though), but I suppose you could turn the video feature on and just walk away. But I don't want to record that much or have it eat up my hard drive big time. I am assuming that recording a one hour video would take up a LOT more room that 30 pics that are taken 2 mins apart.

Anyone have a clue to how to do this?

for more info : this is the veo web cam I have if anyone can look it up and find out about it :

I just thought of something, I know it can take a video, but I don't know how long the maximum time is that it will let it run.

i think my cam has that option

If it does have an interval setting it should be in the options area.

Look also for motion detection settings.

go to download.com and search for "webcam"...you will see a ton of software that does this.

I use old software callled webcam32. It can save locally or upload to a webpage.

cool, I will try this.

the reason being is that you guys know I have several major parties every year that are fund raisers for the women's and children's shelter I support. a lot of the businesses here (gay and straight) all go in and donate everything I need. All the food, alcohol, waiters, prizes for the winners, etc... and I like to take pictures of this party to send the sponsors so they have an idea of what it is they are supporting. However, it is hard to be a host to people and still walk around and take pictures. So I was thinking of doing this and have it take pictures every so often. I mean if I do it at every 60 seconds, that is 60 different pictures per hour where I am sure to get a dozen that are really nice.

Ditto on the Single Frame and Interval options. Most Cams have that option.



I'm expecting Gay Stretched Sphincters and Penis Pics for some reason...
Please give me a heads up on the thread subject so I can avoid it..

Hush ya'll.

Ok, I go over to download.com and look under webcam. All I see are programs that have the ability to live stream to your webpage or upload to your website or send you email pics. I don't really care for any of that. I just want to have pics taken and stored in a designated folder on the desktop. Anything simple.

Though the motion detector thing looks cool. Think it will work with my el-cheapo cam?
