I have one of these webcams, and am trying to use it offline to watch the
activities of some squirrels that I am trying to eject from inside my roof.

I only seem to be able to view the camera output with a rather small picture
(about 4"x3"). This is using "QuickCapture".

I cannot find a viewer which will give me a full screen view of the camera
output, though I am sure that there must be one.

Also, I don't seem to be able to keep the camera settings, it keeps
defaulting to settings which, with daylight, are totally overexposed.

Does anyone have any ideas please - especially with the full screen viewer?

Albert,

I can't help you with your camera setup, but thought that you might be
interested in the following link.

Basically, it's a strobe that is intended to annoy the squirrels and drive
them out of your attic. Luckily, I didn't have to go this far in my case, so
I have no real world experience with the product. It just seems to make
sense though.

You just want to be sure that you place the unit(s) so that you drive the
squirrels out instead of further in. From what I've learned, you also need
to give them an escape route. I think that tapered one-way screens are
available that give them an escape route, but prevent them from reentering.
These get placed over the point of entry and can be removed once you are
certain that your unwanted guests have vacated the premises.

Sorry that I couldn't help with your camera question, but I know what an
annoying nuisance this can be and thought that this might help. Good luck.

Peter.
