ECTcamera (EyeComTec-Camera) is a handy utility for working with a webcam or video capture external device connected to a PC or a laptop. ECTcamera has a simple user interface that allows you to scale the displayed image, save partial screen or full screen screenshots, supports a wide range of different devices and identifies them automatically. The camera resolution and other settings are fully customizable.
The program is portable and does not require installation, does not introduce any changes to the registry and is of a small size able to run on any computer connected to the portable storage devices. Can operate with hot keys; ECTcamera is a fully customizable application: zoom, shift, main window size and position as well as screenshot compression can all be modified by user. Fine-tuning ECTcamera allows working with any third-party streaming processing applications.
ECTcamera can work with command line and support additional parameters, enabling the use of task schedulers and program managers to run the application on a schedule. This reduces the pressure on ram allowing ECTcamera to be supported even by low-end laptops. In addition, the application allows the creation of an unlimited number of configuration files allowing quickly switching between different ECTcamera settings; the latter is especially useful when working with multiple connected video devices or running the program on different computers.
The program is easy to use, quick to configure and intuitive to operate. The first ECTcamera setup takes less than a minute; the use of a saved configuration file will modify in few seconds the parameters of video output settings, the location of windows and the image shift value.
