Taking photos with webcam

[DJ Paulie]

I'm doing a wedding at the end of the month & not starting until midnight then playing until 2am (I'm on after a band) As the party will be in full swing I don't think I'll be able to take any photos. (unless quickly with my iPhone but still tricky) So I was thinking of using my other lappy with a webcam to take photos every 10/15mins.

Is there a program that will fo this ? I know most cam software has motion detection but there's going to be plenty of that hopefully !

Sorry Steve, I posted it late (or early !) and thought some might not have seen it.

Does this help?

I know you dont want to e-mail them but it may help.

I quote:
Another option is YawCam. This is a similar package, also free, written entirely in Java. It's very full-featured and does just about everything WebCamFirst does. It also does not have e-mail functionality, but again, that can be problematic. The user interface of YawCam is a bit nicer, and it has some extra scheduling and control features.

I tried YawCam last night Ajay, but couldn't work out how to set it to take photos every few mins. I'll check your link later.
