With humble beginnings as a quick and dirty Applescript application, the webCAM Console fulfills my initial desire to create a way to view and save multiple online webcam images from a slick and simple desktop console. It is built to run quietly and minimally in the background while its true power lies in the ability to automatically download and save images at any desired interval.
