What’s new in CameraWare? Well…… CameraWare is new!! Welcome to CameraWare -- The 100% FREE high-speed, zoomable, multi-channel, Internet video solution. CameraWare provides free viewing, broadcasting and even enables you to put live video images on your site. CameraWare has several established videochat Communities, all which can be enjoyed with no extra software, just your browser! Use your PC camera or capture card to broadcast images to viewers worldwide without using up your own Internet bandwidth. Live Tech Support is available at any time of day or night to assist you.
Viewing
Using
your Internet Explorer browser, you can choose any camera from the Channel
Selection list. Turning on the Surf button keeps the Channel Selection
list open while you view images for quickly switching back and forth between
videos. The frame rate is a 4 second day + transmission time -- so about
5-6 seconds per frame on a cable or DSL line. CameraWare viewing features
include zoom, pause and rewind. Leave a video image up for a few moments
and you can rewind up to 50 frames! If the broadcaster has a URL
listed to the left of their video, you may click on that URL and a window
will open to their website! Image Controls are provided to restrict the
video images to a certain Category, such as only Places or Female Broadcasters.
Pretty nice for 100% FREE!!
Chatting
Many
CameraWare Communities use ChatSpace chatrooms, provided FREE by CameraWare.
As with all its software, CameraWare packed several handy and fun features
into the chat. Registered nicknames, member profiles, Ignore, sounds, actions,
colors, Private Messaging are but a few useful and entertaining tools at
your fingertips. Look for the icons along the top and bottom of your chat
window and start exploring!
Broadcasting
Use
your PC camera or capture card to broadcast images to viewers worldwide.
All standard VFW (Video For Windows) compliant cameras and capture-cards
work with CameraWare Video Sender. Let others view your video without using
up your own Internet bandwidth. Your images are sent to our high-speed
server and then rebroadcast to viewers using our fast Internet connection.
You can broadcast to hundreds or even thousands of simultaneous viewers.
For those who prefer more intimate surroundings, you can assign a "secret
code" to your video so that only viewers that know the code can watch your
video. YOU decide which web pages are allowed to display your video. If
you have your own website or would like to invite viewers to come chat
with you, simply put the URL in the Viewer Text area on your CameraWare
Video Sender software. Your thousands of fans can then click on it and
a window will open to the URL you have entered.
Communities
A
listing of over 50 CameraWare Communities can be found at http://www.cameraware.com/sites.html.
An independent Webmaster runs each community and all are different in atmosphere
and theme. Some Communities have multiple CameraWare viewing applets so
you can watch several live video images at once. A few Communities also
have Voice chat; you can talk and hear each other rather than typing! A
short description accompanies each link to make exploring easier. Many
are Adult oriented and most are staffed with Moderators around the clock
to make sure everyone enjoys their visits. Several CameraWare Communities
have chosen to show ‘All’ public cams, which allow you to see all the non-private
cams no matter where the broadcaster is chatting. Some Communities show
only the broadcasters who are chatting in that Community. Explore the different
Communities, bookmarking your favorite sites. Check the CameraWare Community
Sites list frequently as sites are added often.
Community
