Need help with Configuration of Screenshots

When I select 'S' to take a screenshot the .png file is saved in
"C:\Users\Laptop\AppData\Local\Temp\AbelCam\Microsoft-LifeCam-Cinema-1"

Is it possible to change this to c:\Screenshots ?


Also it saves the filetype as a .png file. Can I save as a .jpg image instead?

I have searched through the forum and through the configuration and cant see any option to modify both these items.

Thanks for the help.

Hello Brian

you can't change the location, but you can create a link to c:\Screenshots so you find the images where you expect them.
Please see Microsoft Technet MKLINK

You can't change the image format - PNG has been chosen because it is lossless.

As you are naming the folder Screenshots, you may want to store screen shots there.

There's a trick to store JPEG screen shots images:
Configure a IP Camera to use http://localhost:8080/current99.jpg as image source.
That is the screens URL (if Screen Capture is enabled).

Now configure Local Save for this Camera to store images to c:\Screenshots, save on Web Access.
Everytime you access this camera with a browser (also from a remote computer), a screen shot will be stored in JPEG format.

Does that help?
