Connect your Webcam to your computer using the USB cable attached.


Capturing AVI with WebCam Express

Now that you have your Webcam installed, you can use it to capture short movies called AVI video files. The
length of time you can record an AVI while the camera is connected to your computer will vary, depending on
how much hard drive space you will use to save the file. This is done through the PhoTags WebCam Express
program. Please note that these AVI video files take up a lot of hard drive space. This next section will walk
you through capturing an AVI file.

1.

Double-click the “WebCam Express” icon that is on your desktop to launch the “WebCam Express
program. Adjust your Webcam to the desired position. The screen will display what the Webcam “sees”.

2.

To add audio to your video, plug a microphone into your computer.
