CamCollect for Windows will download, display and save images from the many thousands of web cams available on the internet. Images may be automatically enhanced before being displayed, captioned with site name and time, and automatically saved on disk, with file names based on the date and time (fully customizable) or with sequential numbers. CamCollect supports various techniques to overcome the anti-piracy schemes used by many web cams to prevent their images being linked from other sites. Streaming cams from sites such as Camarades may be captured as a series of stills.

A built-in image editor allows images to be viewed enlarged, cropped, have text added, be color corrected, filtered or enhanced, and saved in various image formats. A single button launches a web browser for the webcam site's home page, and webcam site information can be imported from a text file to allow rapid set-up, and saved to text files to share with others.
