Desidero esprimere la mia ammirazione per la straordinaria disponibilità e pazienza del creatore di questo plug-in, soprattutto nei confronti degli utenti meno esperti nella creazione di siti web. Mi ha fornito un supporto impeccabile, accompagnandomi passo dopo passo e soddisfacendo pienamente le mie esigenze. Il plug-in in sé è eccezionale e offre una modalità di sequenza delle immagini molto gradevole. Inoltre, il creatore lavora costantemente per migliorarlo e tenerlo aggiornato, dimostrando grande attenzione alle richieste degli utenti che acquistano la versione PRO. Nel mio caso, l'ho utilizzato con successo per gestire ben 4 webcam. Lo consiglio vivamente

Ho comprato Webcam Viewer Pro Edition per un mio cliente che necessitava di configurare due webcam sul suo sito di promozione turistica. Non riuscivo a configurarlo per la mia poca esperienza in fatto di webcam, ho contattato l'assistenza e Antonio Germani lo sviluppatorte, si è mostrato subito molto disponibile e celere nel rispondere all'assistenza e ad aiutarmi a configurare le webcam. Sono davvero molto soddisfatta!! Consiglio questo plugin e anche lo sviluppatore SERIO e PROFESSIONALE ElisaWeb

unfortunately, using this plugin is completely unintuitive. No guides, some incomprehensible example in the settings. I can't make it work. Can the author write a simple guide on how to use it?? Since he already sells this plug. I would be grateful.
