TinCam

Note: The application is discontinued so it will not receive any further updates. It also cannot be purchased anymore. However, you can still download an older version from Softpedia and use the trial version with all features unlocked for 30 days, or register the full version if you have a serial code. If you're interested in an alternative webcam tool that still gets updates, you can try YouCam.

TinCam is a webcam application that provides live streaming as well as many other features to customize the chatting experience over the Internet.

The program supports multiple devices, offering a dedicated option to let you pick the one you wish to use, but also several other configuration options to set up all features available under the hood.

Beside being able to handle multiple webcams and other video devices, TinCam also creates a website through which you can share your webcam, with customization options including text, colors and background photos.

Just like many other similar apps, TinCam lets users insert a caption on the webcam pictures, which can be either text or time and date. Plus, an overlay image, such as a logo or a watermark, can be placed on any photo as well.

Another interesting feature of TinCam is the motion detector which allows the application to monitor the webcam and automatically take a screenshot when motion is detected. Plus, it can send emails with attached screenshots all by its own, while running in the background for the best possible results.

Of course, the configuration screen is pretty rich when it comes to available options, so you can change settings concerning all the aforementioned tools, but also those concerning the image server, the video streaming server or file names.

TinCam needs just a limited amount of computer resources to run flawlessly and seems to get along with any Windows system.

Overall, TinCam is indeed a handy software solution if you use the webcam on a regular basis and it can be safely used by beginners and more experienced users alike thanks to a very user friendly approach.
