What does this program actually do?
WallpaperCamTM brings the world of webcams to your desktop - with live update. It provides a huge list of high quality webcams from all over the world to choose from and puts the selected one on your desktop background as windows wallpaper. What's brand new about it is, that it will update your wallpaper constantly, so you have a window to the real world on your desktop.

You may specify the update interval yourself. A suggested update time span comes with each webcam you select. You may specify any other timespan in seconds. The suggestions are based on the individual update intervals of the selected cam.

 

What is a wallpaper cam?
WallpaperCam simply means that your desktop background (wallpaper) retrieves the pictures from webcams, it's not really a camera. Webcams are cameras installed anywhere in the world, which do send photos over the internet at a given time interval. Let's say, a cam takes a photo every 2 seconds and does publish it on the internet. WallpaperCam takes these pictures and converts them to desktop wallpapers, so you can see them as background on your screen, behind your desktop symbols. Without your intervention necessary, it does always update the wallpaper with the newest picture retrieved from the selected cam. You may specify the update timespan yourself in the settings.

 

Will Wallpapercam cause any costs except the purchase price?
No! Wallpapercam does only connect to free internet resources, free webcams, that do not charge anything. After purchasing wallpapercam, it will not cause any additional costs to you, except the costs for your personal internet connection (if applicable). There is no charge for any of the services provided when you are using the program - at no time.

 

Is WallpaperCam compatible with my operating system?
In case you are using any windows operating system, the answer is Yes. WallpaperCam does run under all Windows operating systems.

 

Is my privacy affected in any way by the use of WallpaperCam?
No, Wallpapercam does not collect any personal data. Your installation of WallpaperCam is anonymous, the download and connection to individual webcams is not monitored in any way - no connection to your person, your computer, your IP address nor any other identifiable information is collected. Our servers will only collect anonymous numbers of requests of the cams, for statistic and ranking reasons.

 

Do I need an internet connection for the operation of WallpaperCam?
Yes and no. Suggested is a flat, always open internet connection, so the program can update the wallpapers as specified. However, it's not a problem, as the program sits in the system tray, while you have no open internet connection, it will just wait and update the wallpaper as soon as internet access is available.

 

I shut down wallpapercam and now I do not get updated wallpapers anymore.
When you close the program via the close button in the upper right corner, it will still be available in your system tray. When you shut the program down via the shut down button, it will not update nor ask for internet access any more until the next launch. Depending on your settings (Launch on startup or not), it will launch when you start your computer. In case this setting is disabled, you need to launch wallpapercam manually via doubleclicking the desktop icon or choosing it from the startmenu.

 

The system is always asking me for internet access? What happens?
When active, wallpapercam tries to update the desktop wallpaper depending on the update interval specified with the selected cam. If your operating system settings are set to ask you to establish an internet connection, every time a program asks for access, wallpapercam will do the same. Either you close the dialog every time, or you grant access to the internet or you shut down wallpapercam until the next startup of your computer.

 

Will my Computer slow down because of the live update of wallpapers?
Not really. While WallpaperCam does load the images from the internet depending on the update interval specified in the settings, this does not cause a lot of bandwidth usage for average internet connections, you will most likely not feel any difference…

 

Is WallpaperCam available for Apple/Macintosh computers?
At this time not. Please contact us or subscribe to the free WallpaperCam newsletter in order to stay tuned and be informed about updates and enhancements and possible Mac versions.

 

Which kind of webcams are supported? Are live streams possible?
WallpaperCams support classic webcams only, which send single photos/pictures. Live streams, streaming media of any kind are not supported. This would lead to a bandwidth usage far beyond possibilities for a desktop background. It would simply consume too much resources.

 

Can I add my own WebCams or ones not on the list to my personal WallpaperCam?
Yes! You may add any webcam that you find to the list with ease, with your own description. It will be stored on your own computer only. If you wish, you may suggest the webcam for inclusion into the WallpaperCam database with a single click.

 

How can I deinstall the program, in case I don't want it anymore?
Should you decide to not buy the program, you may deinstall it completely by choosing Uninstall from the application folder in your startmenu or by accessing Start->Settings->Software and selecting WallpaperCam there. Thanks for trying anyway ;-)...

 

Why should I try WallpaperCam?
It's entirely free to try WallpaperCam. It takes just seconds to download and install and opens the curtains on your desktop to an amazing variety of great views into the outside world. It's guaranteed worth a try. WallpaperCam is very small and easy to uninstall, should you not want to use it any more. WallpaperCam will not uninstall other programs or add non-WallpaperCam programs or files to your computer. It will not change any of your system's settings, so after uninstalling your system will be as clean as before, without any nagging stuff left. In short words, it's easy and entirely safe to use! It will even restore your former windows wallpaper if you like.

 

Why should I suggest WallpaperCam to my friends?
Recommending WallpaperCam to your friends is fun to do and your friends might enjoy the great desktop views just as much as you do. Additionally you can save up to 20% on the purchase price by recommending: for each friend you tell about WallpaperCam from within the program, you get a 2% discount on the purchase price. Recommending to 10 friends earns you a 20% OFF coupon via email, which is deducted during your purchasing process (please enter the coupon during your purchase).

 

Why should I purchase a full version of WallpaperCam?
It's very cheap, convenient and safe to buy a copy of WallpaperCam. In exchange you'll get a very fun to use desktop enhancement, which makes you dream about foreign places a lot and which is good for some visual surprises. Imagine you close your email program and you see the sun go down over Yosemite Valley, or the traffic jam on your way home, which makes you take a break and have a coffee before you leave…

Once purchased, your copy of WallpaperCam will stay operating for all times, you get free bugfix updates forever. The WallpaperCam database of webcams will be growing almost every day, providing more views to the outside world for your pleasure. Should an enhanced version appear (with more options), let's say 2.0, your version 1 will still stay operational with all the features you've got. Should you decide you want the additional features as well, and you want to purchase an upgrade license, you'll be entitled for 50% discount on the purchase price of the new version.

 

What happens after the trial period has finished (5 days)?
WallpaperCam grants you a free, fully functional 5 day trial period. During this period, the program is operating exactly the same way as a purchased version. After 5 days, the trial period is over. You will not be able to receive live desktop wallpapers anymore. You may then activate your trial version directly out of the program by clicking the ACTIVATE button, which allows you to safely purchase directly out of the program using a credit card. You may as well purchase on the WallpaperCam website and enter your license key by clicking the same ACTIVATE button in the program.
Should you decide to not buy the program, you may deinstall it completely by choosing Uninstall from the application folder in your startmenu or by accessing Start->Settings->Software.

 

On how many computers can I install WallpaperCam?
You can install the trial version of WallpaperCam on any of your computers. The purchased version will work on one single system only, the one you install it first. For each additional installation an additional license is needed. In case you need many licenses, please check for our volume pricing or contact us.

 

Are you offering educational licenses of WallpaperCam?
Yes. If you are representative of a school, university or other educational organization, please contact us for educational licensing models (please add some kind of a proof). We will help you to bring the world on
your students' desktop...

 

Are you offering a money back guarantee, should I find the program isn't right for me?
Yes, WallpaperCam does offer an unconditional 30 days money back guarantee. We want to fill your desktop with happiness, not with disappointment. Should you not wish to use the program any more within a period of 30 days after purchase, we will refund the full purchase price to you without discussions. Guaranteed! Period.

 

Is WallpaperCam addictive?
Definitely yes ;-). If you can't afford the small registration fee, you might even not wish to try it, as you might not want to launch your computer any more without it! Try yourself!
