SCWebCam was created when I couldn't find anything else that did this back in 1999. It functions like a webcam, except it uploads your computer screen instead of using a camera and taking a picture of you LOOKING at your computer screen. (If you have a camera, however, you can even integrate the video image into the capture!).

SCWebCam3 has MANY features:

# Automatic capture and FTP Upload with configurable timer
# Tabbed configuration interface, and relatively human-readable error messages
# Saves image as JPG or PNG with variable quality, size, and thumbnail functionality. (Or 24-bit BMP with sizing and thumbnail). Choice of several image resize engines to balance quality with speed, and image can be sized by percentage or absolute pixel size
# Optionally minimizes to the system tray, with visible countdown and single-click pause
# Detects screen saver, locked workstation, and logoff/shutdown, and can upload an 'offline' image at those times
# Capture can run in several reduced priority modes to minimize the impact to your system - good for games!
# Can automatically detect modem connections, and operate only when the modem is connected (experimental!)
# Autorun and Autostart available
# Text caption with selectable font, color and location
# Ability to capture the Desktop (including translucent windows on 2k/XP), only the Active Window, only the Primary Monitor, and/or Still Video Frames from a Video-For-Windows compliant webcam or other capture device (such as TV card)
# Optional preview window allows you to view a video source while still allowing SCWebCam to capture frames from it
# Configurable bandwidth throttling on FTP upload
# Ability to run in local mode without FTP upload step
# Ability to automatically rotate a number of uploads on FTP server
# Built-in WWW server - serve your desktop or even a small web page right from your own PC!
# Full scripting system allows complete flexibility over the image processing and upload steps. Several sample scripts are provided for those not interested in writing their own.
# System/Error Log capability produces a log of your computer settings in case you need to email for help - the author won't need to ask so many questions!
# Context-Sensitive Help available - just press 'F1' for a description of the current form
# Automatic Installer puts everything in the right folders and prepares the program for first run!
# Password lockout feature allows you to lock the configuration for monitoring purposes!
