Catfood CamSaver 1.10.0033

This application’s name is a combination of several elements. I thing it’s worth taking a look at them to better understand the application itself. The first element is Catfood. No, this doesn’t refer to the food cats eat. It is in fact the name of the developer that came up with the application – Catfood Software.

The second part of this application’s name is CamSaver – this is a reference at the application’s functionality. What does this application do? Here’s is a brief and to the point answer: it takes whatever your webcam captures and uses that footage as your screensaver. See now what CamSaver is all about.

If you have a webcam installed on your PC and you would like to use the live video it captures as your screensaver, then you need to get the Catfood CamSaver application. This will only take a moment since the download weighs in at little over 500KB. At such a lightweight download size, you won’t even have a chance to blink and the download will complete.

After you get Catfood CamSaver off the web and onto your computer it is time to install it. This will take very little time as well. A few clicks after launching the setup wizard and Catfood CamSaver will be ready to use.

You will be able to access Catfood CamSaver from the Screensaver window. In Windows XP you have to right click an empty space on the desktop -> Properties -> Screensaver. In Windows 7 you need right click an empty space on the desktop -> then select Personalize -> then select Screensaver (if memory severs me right).

You do not need to pay to use this application. But in order to have full access to Catfood CamSaver’s functionality, you need to register the application. You need to register because Frame Rate is disabled in the unregistered version.

Catfood CamSaver is an easy to use application that turns your webcam’s live video into your screensaver.

Pros

• Lightweight download size
• Easy to use
• Works with XP, Vista and Windows 7 (according to its developer)

Cons

• Frame Rate is disabled in the unregistered version
