ConquerCam 2.7b3 - User Guide and FAQ
Screenshots - More Details
The three steps of defining your FTP site.
When an overlay image and a couple of text captions have been added to your image, you might want to publish it to your personal web site and/or FTP server.
The Uploading tab enables you to define a number of connections for use when uploading your captured image to either an FTP site or a local location on your hard drive.
You are able to add a new FTP site by clicking "New Upload Location" to the right of the "Upload to:" drop down list. Now type in a meaningful (this is not the actual hostname) name for your site and fill in the FTP details in the appropriate fields. You will have to type in your hostname, e.g. ftp.comnigy.com or www.myweb.com. The FTP port is normally located on port 21 thus this has been prefilled for you already. If your site use another port, you will have to enter it here.
Type in your username and password for the connection. If you do not fill in this information, ConquerCam is unable to connect to your site and thus not able to upload your images. If this site enables anonymous connections, just type in anonymous as the username and your e-mail address as the password.
Enter a different filename for the uploaded image necessary. You might want to change the Directory as well if you need to have your uploaded images placed in e.g. "images".
Frequently Asked Questions - ConquerCam
- I need to transfer my settings to another computer. How do I do that?
You'll need to use the "Registry Editor" to export your settings and then import these onto your new computer. To do that, click Windows "Start" button and then "Run...". Now enter "regedit.exe" and press "OK". The "Registry Editor" will open. Find the key "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ConquerWare\ConquerCam" which holds all your settings. Now use "Registry | Export Registry File ..." to export the settings to a file. Transfer this file to your new computer. Now shut down ConquerCam on your new computer. Finally right-click the exported file and select "Merge".
- I have a Digital Video Camcorder. Does ConquerCam work with this?
Most DV camcorders are not supported by ConquerCam because they are not using the "Video For Windows" protocol. However using a 3rd party product such as WebCamDV will allow ConquerCam to find your DV Camcorder and treat it as a web cam.
- How do I automatically refresh my HTML page every X second without the annoying "flashing"?
You can check the scripts in the "Samples" folder under your ConquerCam installation. It will use DHTML Scripting to refresh the page without "flashing".
- ConquerCam freezes after I have been using it for a while. What's wrong?
Several problems might cause this but it's almost always caused by some old device drivers either for your web cam, your USB controller or your graphics card. To solve this problem visit your hardware providers web site and check for updated drivers. You might as well check for a FAQ on these pages as well since they do in many situations contain a solution for your problem.
- Somehow my menus, toolbars and/or status bar within ConquerCam got scrambled and is not showing probably. What happened?
If your computer crashed or ConquerCam was closed down using the Task Manager the settings may not be probably saved into your Registry (where ConquerCam keeps its settings). To solve this issue, close ConquerCam and open your Registry ('regedit.exe'). Then browse to "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ConquerWare\ConquerCam". This key contains two groups where one of them is named "MenuBar". Select it and delete it. Then restart ConquerCam and it will recreate the menus, toolbars and status bar.
- The preview pane shows a live colour picture, but when I publish it, all it shows is a white image. Why?
If your web cam driver uses the YV12, YVU9 or VYUY codec (also known as the 'Pixel Depth' or 'Compression' in most video drivers) it might cause some problems when grabbing the image. Change this codec to e.g. RGB 24, JPGL or another one (depending on your web cam and video driver) and it should solve this issue.
- I have defined a FTP site, but ConquerCam doesn't upload any images to it!
There could be many reasons why ConquerCam is unable to upload an image to your FTP site. The best solution is to enable FTP logging and then check the log to see what went wrong. To enable FTP logging open the Options dialog by pressing F8 on the main screen. On the "Appearance" tab, mark the "Log access to FTP Sites" checkbox and click OK. The next time you try to upload an image to your FTP site it will be logged and you will be able to see which commands have been exchanged between your machine and the FTP site. To open this log, select the File menu and then the View FTP Log ... menu item.
- I have 2 video input devices. ConquerCam will default to the one I don't want to use, and I don't know how to change that.
ConquerCam uses the default video capture device on your system. You are able to change this by selecting "View | Options" and then "Video Devices". From the "Device Name" combo box, pick your device. Currently it's not possible to publish images from two different web cams at the same time, but you are able to start up multiple instances of ConquerCam to achieve the same effect.
