ArcSoft WebCam Companion is a program for Windows developed by a company specializing in multimedia technologies. It is designed to enhance the functionality of your webcam by providing features for video creation, monitoring, and more.

Practical and fun functions

The basic functionality of this utility lies in its capture mode. It enables you to take photos and record video images through your webcam. Subsequently, you can save, email, or print them. While there is support for editing clips, the available features are not exceptionally advanced.

Regarding entertainment, the software offers the capability to morph yourself using various photos and apply fun frames to your image screen. For added personalization, you have the option to create your own templates from any JPEG image. To combine faces, you may try a tool called FaceMixer.

Detect faces and motion

The monitoring feature differentiates the program from its competitors. The setup process is straightforward. The app maintains a detailed log of all detected activities and can be configured to send email or FTP notifications. A single monitoring session can extend up to eighteen hours.

While there is customization available for both individual modes and the tool itself, there is a lack in terms of flexibility compared to similar products. Nevertheless, the combination of fun and serious features is a unique selling point.
