I'm looking for a program for a webcam that will take a picture every 5 or so minutes and save it to a specified location (with a filename that has a timestamp in it), but I'm not having any luck. I've tried google, but it was rather vague with the results and for the most part gave results for software I had to pay $30+ for (i'd rather have find a free one). I tried sourceforge as well, but i didn't find anything that saved a sequence of files, they would all save over the same file every time, like for uploading to an ftp server.

Does anyone know where I can find something like this?

there is a microsoft powertoy called timershot

Well i feel stupid now

When I wanted software for my 360 webcam to use on my PC, I found this:

Free and lots of cool features.
