Now that you have your camera installed you can use it to capture short movies called AVI
files. These can be saved directly to your computer. The length of time you can record an AVI
while the camera is connected to your computer will vary, depending on how much hard drive
space you will use to save the file. Please take note that these AVI files take up a lot of hard
drive space. This is done through the PhoTags WebCam Express program. This next section
will walk you though capturing an AVI file.
1. Make sure that your camera is connected via the USB cable to your PC.
2. Double-click the “WebCam Express” icon
that is on your desktop. This will launch
the PhoTags WebCam Express program.
3. Adjust your WebCam to the desired position. The screen will display what the WebCam
"sees".
(To add audio to your video, plug a microphone into your computer.)

appear under the video.
