A 640x480 still image is approximately 8kb in size. Another way to say this is that 125 still images would take up about 1 megabyte. A 1024x768 image is about 20kb, or 50 images per megabyte.

Assuming you took 100 pictures per day for 30 days at 1024x768, these 3000 images would only need 60 megabytes of storage space. Even with 8 cameras, you could still store one month's images in half a gigabyte (at 100 images per day).

It is possible that the required audio devices are disabled in Windows.

If you are using Windows Vista, please try these steps to activate the necessary device to enable recording from speakers:

1. Right-click on the speaker icon in the tray

Different manufacturers use different terminology for the proper recording device. It may be called "Wave Out" or "What You Hear".

Now that this device is enabled, you should be able to record from speakers.

Note that you may have to download and install the latest driver from the maker of your sound card or sound chip before this works, and it currently does not work for all sound hardware.

If you are using Windows XP, please open the Windows Control Panel. If necessary, switch the Classic View. Now open the Sounds and Audio Devices application.

In the Sounds and Audio Devices window, click the Advanced button under Device Volume.

Open the Options menu, and choose Properties.

In this window, make sure that the Wave out Mix volume is higher than zero, and check the Select checkbox under it.

Close the Recording Control window, click OK on the Sounds and Audio Devices Properties window, and close the Control panel.

You should now be able to select Wave Out Mix as your audio device.

If Wave Out Mix doesn't appear in the list of devices, you may need to upgrade your audio drivers.

Hello Dario,

I would suggest upgrading to the latest version of My Screen Recorder, which you can download here.

Because the pauses happen only when you are trying to list or save files, it sounds as if it may be related to your hard disk. I would also suggest that you error-check the drive thoroughly. In Windows XP or Vista, right-click on the drive's icon in the Windows Explorer, and select Properties. Switch to the Tools tab and select Check Now.

There are several services which will send SMS notifications when you receive email. You can find them by entering "SMS Australia" into Google or another search engine.

If you would like to schedule a period that starts before midnight, and ends the following day, you should create two Weekly entries. Let's say you want to start recording at 7:00 pm Monday and stop at 7:30 pm on Tuesday. Create an entry for Monday that starts at 19:00 and has no stop time, and one for Tuesday that starts at 00:01 and ends at 07:30. WebCam Monitor will monitor continuously between 19:00 and 07:30.
