WebCap – time-lapse webcam capture utility

WebCap is a webcam capture utility. It allows you to capture images at timed intervals (1-infinite seconds). It’s writen in c# and VB.NET and can be used to grap images from any WDM device.Off course the idea for such a utility is not new. Understatement! But the software that came with my Logitech Quickcam for Notebooks did not support such a feature. So what is more fun than to build it yourself?
The sources are available for anyone to play with. No support is given though, use it at your own peril.

* at this point WebCap grabs images from the first WDM device it encounters, no matter which device you select in the _Device_ dropdown list.
