I've been using Vitamin D and I really like it because it's totally free and ultra simple. However, my only complaint is it's a little too simple. It would be nice to have a way to adjust simple things like brightness, color, resolution etc. and it would also be nice to be able to stream it online.

Ispy is totally feature rich and fully loaded but at the other end of the spectrum. I simply can't run it on my little 2ghz XP laptop because it constantly crashes. If I had a more powerful PC it would be great though.

I think I'm going to download Yawcam and see if that's somewhere in the middle.

Thanks for the links BTW. I always love testing out freeware.

@ICU: Thanks for your feedback about these freeware. Do let us know about your experience with Yawcam as well.

There is one excellent and free software 'ContaCam' and it supports many cameras.
Get it from here http://www.contaware.com/content/view/44/46/

Hi there i have a CPW00017 CIG webcam and i can't find the correct software for it please can anyone help me.

go to camera only records 20 seconds when it detects motion, which sucks to use for security. ispy is by far the best ive tryed

iSpy is an opensource camera security software. I've been using it for about a month now and it seems to be working quite well. However, having four IP cameras monitored at the same time on a low powered laptop it does chew up 50-75% CPU. If you have a recommended computer, that should not be an issue.

Its website is: http://www.ispyconnect.com/

Webcam Zone Trigger has a free trial that lasts a few weeks. Its a pretty good software that deserves mention...
http://www.zonetrigger.com

just try this its a best in this categery.

GOTOCAMERA is NOT free... 7 day 'free' trial and then streaming stops.

yawcam seems to have eberything the rest of them have.
a 5 year old can run it. that simple. the web. motion
alerts. movie maker. and you can edit it to your like
i use it and its good. not fancy. just good

Found this one http://www.mycameralink.com, definitely worth a try.

HI Ishan,

I have tested a couple of webcam surveillance software packages and I liked the free VM version of C-MOR, http://www.c-mor.com most.

Ishan, thanks for writing about us. Just thought I'd add that HomeCamera is transitioning to a new site and a new name: GotoCamera. This site is at http://www.gotocamera.com - new features include streaming video... and it's a more "usable" site than our old HomeCamera site. HomeCamera subscribers can login to GotoCamera using their HomeCamera user ID and password. The old Client software will also continue to work with GotoCamera - but, for best results, subscribers should download and install the new streaming-enabled GotoCamera Client.
