oCam Closes Automatically a Few Seconds After Launching

Using oCam at work or school? A license is required, and it removes all ads, including this window. See the paid version →

When trying to record with oCam, a specific issue may occur if an online video lecture site is running. This problem is usually caused by anti-recording software used by the site to protect its content. Below is a detailed explanation of the issue and how to handle it.


Online video lecture sites often use anti-recording software to protect copyrighted content. This software detects recording programs such as oCam and force-closes them at regular intervals. As a result, oCam may not be able to continue recording normally or may close unexpectedly.


To resolve this issue, you need to contact the online video lecture site directly where you want to record. Ask the site operator whether recording is allowed and check their related policy. If necessary, request permission to record. Some sites may allow recording under certain conditions or provide a way to temporarily disable the anti-recording feature.


Attempts to bypass issues caused by anti-recording software may violate the site's terms of use, so it is important to follow the site's policy. Therefore, if you want to record lecture content with oCam, first consult the site administrator and follow the proper procedure.

What to Do If an Error Occurs When Running the oCam Installer

When installing or running oCam, you may see an error message like the one below:


"Access violation at address XXXXX in module 'oCamXXXX.exe'. Write of address 00401000"


This error usually occurs when an anti-cheat program such as GameGuard is running. GameGuard uses system resources exclusively to protect the game, and this can interfere with the installation or execution of oCam. To resolve this issue, follow the steps below:


1. Completely close the game that is currently running. When the game closes, GameGuard will also close.

2. To make sure both the game and GameGuard have fully closed, open Task Manager (Ctrl + Shift + Esc) and check whether any related processes, such as GameGuard processes, are still running. If any remain, end those processes manually.

3. After GameGuard has closed, try installing or running oCam again.


By following the steps above, you can resolve the conflict caused by GameGuard and install or run oCam normally. If the problem continues, restart your computer and try installing oCam again without launching the game.
