I recently bought a Clicksmart 420, and am unhappy with the software bundled
with it for the following reasons:
1) No auto-adjustment for lighting. My old Quickcam Pro would auto-adjust
the levels to compensate for low lighting, and did it very well. Present
software only allows manual adjustment.
3) Lack of ability to specify a folder to save captured pictures to.
Instead, it saves it to an internal "Gallery".
Ideally, I'd like to do some automated captures over a set internal using my
webcam, and save them to a specific folder. I'd like the lighting-adjustment
feature to compensate for variable lighting in the room.
Unfortunately, the limitations of the software are not conducive to this.
In general, I find the software very constraining - It allows automatic
upload to a website, but only does this to a partner-website of logitech,
and allows no customization. If you want to upload to your *own* server,
your SOL.
It is disappointing, as earlier versions of the logitech software did
support these features, but appear to have been dropped. This same software
is bundled with all logitech models, so changing model wouldn't help.
Is there any free software out there that will do what I want?
