Permanent Video Recording
These videos are created in a proprietary fileformat. They contains no audio and no standard video codecs. These videos have a user defined filesize (resp. video length). If the adjusted filesize is reached, the video is overwritten from the beginning. So each video contains always the last 24 hours, last 3 days, etc. (depends on the settings)! These videos could be converted into AVI if needed!
For viewing of the permanent videos there is the CamPlayer included. With the CamPlayer you can view parallel how many videos you like. These videos could be already completed or still in record progress!
The CamPlayer viewing only one video!
Standard Video Recording
These recordings creates videos in the AVI fileformat. You can use the video codecs and audio devices/codecs which are available on your system. It is also possible to print a timestamp into these videos.
The timestamp could be the current time, date a self defined text and additional you could print your logo into the video!

The video windows can appear with a caption or without, with a buttonbar or without, topmost or not. From the buttonbar you could direct start the main functions. The buttonbar from a TV Tuner window owns three additional buttons to select the programs and mute the audio.
