i was a happy owner of 3.x but i'm not too fond of 4.x version right now, it just seems like a rewrite that took away half the features i used. As it stands now it doesn't have nearly the assortment of options the previous version had. I go to recording options and there really aren't any. I want to control everything, and i just dont have those "knobs" so to speak in 4.x. hopefully they return

This program has great features but seems to be a massive CPU hog. On my Black Macbook it constantly uses 80% CPU when just monitoring the isight on the machine. I cant have my comp basically maxed out just having Evocam open not to mention when it actually detects motion.

I love the program and features but it just isn't fast enough on older hardware even with the pref checked to reduce cpu usage.

I have been using EvoCam since 2008. I had downloaded many different trials before making my decision and EvoCam for the features and the money was my choice. I have not been disappointed. Set up was fairly intuitive. I struggled a bit, but I consider that normal for a new piece of software that has so many features. I did need to contact their support and got a nearly instant response. Amazing!

I was using it with three cameras (two wireless network cameras and one usb) to keep an eye on my 86 year old father who was living with us. I set it up each camera to upload a picture to a web page every three minutes and then archive 50 or so to another page. I also have it set up (with the help of DynDns) to see live feeds. When Dad would fall, I could call a neighbor to pop in and help him up. (I am lucky to have such a nice neighbor.) It was great piece of mind.

Then one day I go to the office and boot my computer and the sound is all the way up. I almost never have the sound turned on. So, I bring one of my cameras to work and set it up there to monitor my workstation. Turns out one of the tenants in an adjoining space was breaking into our office at night to watch porn on my computer. With the help of EvoCam and the police we caught him and had the incriminating photos to prove it. (Trust me, these were porn in their own right.) He went to jail! I went out for Lysol. Yuk!

Now, two cameras monitor the dogs and the house on motion detection and one monitors my work station.

I keep my EvoCam up to date and have had no issues. I have used it both on a PPC and an Intel Mac.

EvoCam has worked flawlessly for me. I highly recommend it.

Hey guys,
I need help with something...so I set up my evocam application so that it took pictures anytime there was movement. It then saves the pictures onto a folder in my computer. But I set it so that it only keeps 50 photos in that folder at a time. i was wondering where the pictures go after they are kicked off the folder and replaced by a new one...are they deleted or placed somewhere else??

Thanks

I have used EvoCam for about a month for an exterior set-up and it works flawlessly. For a novice user this software is very sophisticated and I have only scraped the surface of its capabilities. The controls are logical and as a photographer I have high demands on picture quality. Set up a good quality camera and a lens shade, I even put a gradual filter to tone down the sky. The picture is no better than the camera you use, and there is nothing wrong with the software. EvoCam is well worth the money, even at full price, and good support too. Highly recommended.
