I've ths idea of using my webcam as a security camera which will record the videos in the hard disk while I'm not at home. To do so, I need a video recorder software which'll take the video feed input frm the webcam and save it into the hard disk. Am I right?\nIf I'm thn which software can I use?\nIf I'm not thn how to do it?\n...I'm sure it's possible but don't exactly knw how.

I have a creative webcam, and it came with software that turns your pc into a security system with a program that came with the camera called Webcam Monitor.  In this program you can set up your camera to start recording a clip when it detects motion, and then it will send an e-mail to a specified e-mail address.  I wasn't able to set it up correctly though and I don't know what I was doing wrong.

You are going to use like boardcast or video creation. I think a web cam is not suitable for your situation. Because Webcam resolution is not very good. I suggest that you buy those digital DV(Digital Handy Cam) if your buget is OK.\n\nd10v01b

Don't format your disk.\nDon't hammer the webcam.  Do edit your question to say what the webcam is...\n\nYour system simply rebooted after a 'fatal error'. There are 2 settings that can be changed:\n\n1) Go to Control Panel>System>Advanced>Startup and Recovery settings button, under 'System Failure', uncheck "Automatically Restart". Leave the other choices checked. You'll still get the alert, and a log file will be created.\n2) In Advanced>Error Reporting, check the box marked "But notify me of critical errors". \n\nNow instead of rebooting your PC will generate a BSOD which will have an error code.  Search this code on the web for the next step...\n\nGood Luck!\n\n[Edit]: Just found this link...

i doubt it, the memory isn't fast enough. basically, the images are stored either on your computer (webcam) or on a card, dvd, tape, etc (other camera.) Logically, the only way to do it would be to have a cable with one end a usb port and the other end plugging into your memory card port, which i don't think will ever happen because the cover must be closed.

Assuming you have installed the webcam properly with its drivers.\n\n1. Logon to http://messenger.yahoo.com/\n\n2. Click on the Features link on the top row.\n\n3. Click on the Webcam link which is in the last coloum.\n\n4. Click on the "Visit the Yahoo! Help Center" link on the right hand side.\n\n5. This will bring you to the webcam help section. Under the Getting Started title click on the Test webcam link. The website usually downloads a piece of software from Yahoo to your computer.\n\nThis is what I followed when I was unable to use my webcam on yahoo. I was able to use the cam on all other messengers and not on yahoo. Once this software was downloaded, the webcam works just fine on yahoo now.\n\nPls update your question if any errors are reported.\n\nUjjU

You need to use C# or Vb.net to record from the webcam. Then you need to embed it in an ASP page using the <object> tag. I am not aware of any third party controls which do this.

You can buy patch cords that allow you to transfer video from some types of video cameras and VCRs direct to your PC.  They usually come with some software too.  It all depends on the type of camera you have and your PC.  Go to any big computer store (like Comp USA) and they should be able to hook you up (no pun intended).  Also try tigerdirect.com.

it should be a plug and play, if not the cd should have an option for driver install only.  check the manual, or find out what kind of webcam it is and download the drivers yourself and skip the whole installing the program part.

You need video capture software.

You can use the software FastCap to real time capture and compress the video (in xvid or else)the video. It's easy to control. Just one press of the hotkey will complete the recording.

if u want to record sound, u need a mic but not a software, use the windows sound recorder.\nbut if u want to capture videos without a webcam, use camtasia studio. go ot techsmith.com   then select camtasia studio.
