ArcSoft WebCam Companion can be used to enhance your webcam's functionality. The application has many standard functions such as image capture, frame creation, and photo editing. It also features security functionality and a monitoring mode.
ArcSoft WebCam Companion's standard feature is the capture mode. This function allows you to take photos and video with your webcam, save them, email them, and then print them. ArcSoft WebCam Companion also offers an editing function that allows you directly upload your videos onto YouTube.
The monitoring function is worth mentioning. ArcSoft WebCam Companion keeps an exhaustive log of activity detected. You can choose to be notified via email or FTP if anything is detected. You can set up a monitoring session that lasts up to 18 hours and configure it to detect faces, motion, or both.
ArcSoft WebCam companion is a great tool for manipulating images and creating works of art. You can add frames to the images, edit them, and monitor them. However, the application lacks customization options in some areas, while it has a complete complement in others. The positive side is that you can upload to YouTube, and the monitoring functions work well.
