webcam reccomendations?

[subdismal]

I was wondering if anyone had any good reccomendations for Webcams? I have a Logitech QuickCam Express, which is good for me and all, but it doesn't have some of the options I want. I want a Webcam that comes with software to timestamp the images and maybe even add a signature or something. Also, I need to be able to schedule pictures (example; take a photo every thirty seconds). The reason I need this is because of a Web site I'm working on; I'm going to try to offer Portals. So, if anyone can lend some input, I'd appreciate it.

If you like the one you got, why not just look for software that does what you need? Tons exist, I remember looking for the same thing a few years, I forgot what I found. but I remember something called "ChillCam" which if I recall did stamping and scheduled pictures. If it doesn't, you can find something

Most of your wants can be aquired via Software (Timestamp, Signature, picture sequence) I prefer vid in Cameras as opposed to USB although ADS has recently come out with a USB2.0 Camera which I'm anxious to try...The best overall Hardware that I like which includes Timestamping and other great features outside of your request is by using 1 DV Camcorder or Sharp ViewCam as a Webcam

Hrm, so software can do what I want? I didn't know if other software was compatible with a Webcam; I thought the software on the installation disc was basically the driver and the only thing you could use to take pictures with the camera. I guess I still have a lot to learn, eh?
