ArcSoft WebCam Companion 3 offers a broad range of applications designed and optimized for your webcam.Whether you want to capture photos, record videos, or edit captured files, it can be done with just a few clicks!
Photo and Video Capturing
You don't need a high-end digital video camera to make fun movies, and share them with friends and family. WebCam Companion makes capturing and editing video from your webcam fast and fun. Also preview photos and videos in full screen view, add animation effects to photos, and upload to YouTube.
Smart Video Enhancement
By using ArcSoft Noise Reduction, noise on webcam video will be greatly minimized. The video quality is always poor for scenes with lighting variations such as shadows and when color shifts in illumination occurs. You can use the ArcSoft Dynamic Lighting technology to improve the quality of real time video preview.
Pose Detection
With the Fun Frame application, automatically snap photos, adjust the pose detection sensitivity, select a variety of layouts and templates for printing, and select frame templates by category.
Masque your photos
Have fun and get creative with a morphing tool to integrate your face into another character, and then snap a photo. Preview your pictures with picture in picture, fit in view, portrait view, zoom in/out, and flip tools. Create a template by loading any pictures and then edit them with a variety of tools.
Editing Snapshots
Webcams are used primarily to stream video, but WebCam Companion lets you take snapshots with a variety of editing tools: adjust lighting with easy-to-use brightness and contrast controls, even sharpness to help compensate for movements; flip photos around to create mirror images, undo/redo changes with a single click; resize images by pixel resolution or by percentage, and now you can even crop your photos while you edit them.
Album Managing
As time goes by, your video and image file collections may grow large and become unmanageable; finding the file you want then becomes a difficult task. WebCam Companion has a convenient album-managing function that allows you to organize your files as soon as you create them. Captured images and video clips are organized into albums so that you can quickly find the right one.
Intelligent Video Surveillance
It incorporates efficient in-house face detection and motion detection technology to detect a face or object moving in front of the webcam and can report it by alerting the user by email or FTP with captured images. It also lets you set your recording to begin as soon as an abnormal event is detected by your webcam. Furthermore, it gives a convenient way to browse and review recorded videos by event.
