What is a good video recording software for my webcam?

Question by Andrew: What is a good video recording software for my webcam?
I found my old webcam but I do not have any software installed for it. Where is a good, preferably free, video recording software? I just want to be able to use it as a camcorder kind of, just so I can record videos in my room.

I use Debut Video Capture Software. It’s free and lets you record with webcam and sound, take pictures and also do screen record. You can download it free here:

I recommend WebCam Monitor. It’s designed to turn a USB webcam into a video surveillance system.

I also like Debut Video Capture best, but there are more good ones. Debut is free though.
Another decent one is Arcsoft webcam companion, but it has more tools than just video recording.
