It is perfect to record narrated tutorials, record videos from inside web browsers, share game play on sites like UStream, and remotely help users demonstrating how to do some specific task.

Reviews for ScreenCamera 4
Pros
Great screen recorder, just what I’ve been looking for. Came at the right time. I just got my mic working! :)
Cons
Installer aborts saying “Unable to connect to server, setup aborting!”
ScreenCamera is a video recording software that capable of recording videos from your webcam, onscreen recording, and taking screenshots. It is useful for anyone who needs a tool to conversations or record videos for personal use or for video sharing websites such as YouTube, Vimeo, and Ustream, among others.
Pros
An intuitive user interface
ScreenCamera features a clean user interface with all the features you require easily accessible from the homepage. You can easily switch from screen recording to webcam or snapshot on a single mouse click. You can also select an area to capture using the highlighting options given on the bottom right side of the screen.
Customize your recordings
Pause and resume your current recording without encountering any difficulties. You can also stop the recording to preview the specific regions you want to capture. Not only can you record videos on your computer, but also broadcast them to Skype and MSN, among other applications.
Set ScreenCamera to show your mouse pointer during recordings, select the saving directory, run the program at Windows startup, assign keyboard shortcuts, take recordings and snapshots, and open folders where the images are stored directly from the application. Other things you can do with the software includes setting it to always stay on top and minimize it to the taskbar during recording or taking snapshots.
Saves recordings in a variety of formats
With ScreenCamera you can save your screen recordings in AVI or WMV, while your screenshots can be saved as either JPG or BMP. It also allows for configuration off the video codecs depending on the compression level.
Cons
Sluggish video recording experience
Despite the cool recording features and the good-looking user interface, I found ScreenCamera to be a bit sluggish especially where it involves a lot of motion. The screen capture option wasn’t as seamless as I expected it to be and instead of displaying a video, it just skipped from a frame to the next. Much more like displaying a video that has screenshots in it. Not even adjusting the frames could solve this problem.
Slow default screen recording option
Defaults aren’t a major problem for many people, but it is for novice users who want to record screens but don’t understand what frames per second is. For this reason, ScreenCamera could have at least set 60 to be the default frames per second.
Conclusion
ScreenCamera will help you do simple video recordings, screen recordings, and taking screenshots. It works perfectly when recording videos that don’t feature a lot of motion. However, for clearer screen recordings just find another advanced software with more controls and clearer recordings.
