Mike
I'm looking for a good camera between the $300-800 price range, preferably a DSLR, that can give me a date and time stamp on recorded video. I am a private investigator and it is required while recording video or taking pictures. It needs to be saved on the finished product as well.
Thanks!
Answer
As proof of when the video was taken it is worthless. The date stamp will only show the date that you have set in the camera.
You could set the date now to 19th December 2012. Any stills or movie you shoot will show that as the date.
I had this issue where I need to prove the reading on a meter at specific dates. The verifier insisted on using date stamped photographs until I took out my camera and took a photo of him that "proved" he had been in my office 3 months before!!!

Can I have my laptop camera record things without using skype or something?

I have a Dell from 2012 with a built in video camera. Can I use it to take pictures and video without using skype and sending it to people? If so, how?
Answer
Hi Emma,
I am Shuchi from the Dell Social Media outreach team.
In order to use the inbuilt webcam you need webcam central software for capturing pictures and recording Videos. Usually this software goes preinstalled in the dell system.
Please visit following link for more information regarding the same:
http://dell.to/1eJPKpm
The main screen of Webcam central software has two tabs:
Snap Photos: Pictures can be taken with this option. Further settings available are Photo Size (the default is max-640x480), Self Timer and Burst Rate.
Advanced options include File Format (.jpeg/.bmp) and options to add date and time stamps to pictures.
Record Videos: Videos can be recorded with this option. The settings available are Video Size (the default is max-640x480), Self Timer and Microphone Settings.
Advanced options include Video Format (.wmv/.avi) and an option limiting the video clip duration. When selected, .avi option also shows the audio and video compression options.
General Settings Tab. This setting has the following options: Picture Control - Flicker Control with frequency settings, and video control with backlight, brightness, contrast, Color & Gamma; Face Tracking - Enable/Disable Face Tracking with tracking speed adjustments; Pan & Zoom - Zoom control and Pan & Tilt options.
The tab "Show Todays Captures" has options to Upload pictures to Photobucket, Send by e-mail and Print directly. Another feature "Video Stitch" can be used to combine pictures which can be played as a video file.
The size of a picture when saved as a .jpeg is about 75kb and when saved as a .bmp is about 900k. The size of a 20-sec video when saved as a .wmv is about 2MB and when saved as an .avi with default compression is about 500MB. The Tray Icon has options to Launch the application, and set default options like Start Webcam Central when Windows starts, Enable Mini-mode viewer, and so on.
Please revert to this post if you have any further queries and concerns.
We would recommend you do not post your private information on a public forum.
Thanks & Regards
