Using your webcam as a video monitor

With the Monitor feature, you can use your webcam as a security camera. If the webcam detects
motion or a face, it records the activity on your hard drive. Additionally, you can set the Monitor
feature to send a snapshot by e-mail or post a snapshot on an FTP site if it detects activity.

1

Double-click the HP Webcam Control Center

icon on the Windows desktop.

2

Click Monitor

.

3

Click Start Monitor to begin monitoring.

4

Click Stop Monitor to finish monitoring and save the video to your computer.

You can also specify motion regions for the program to focus on. Click the Enable Rectangle

Motion Detection

icon, and then click and drag to draw a rectangle around the area you want

the motion detector to work within.

To learn more about using ArcSoft WebCam Companion, click Extras and select Application Help.

TIP: You can disable either the motion detection or face detection feature, but you cannot turn
them both off.
