I'm still looking for a utility which will capture the image from a
webcam (the type which updates every few seconds, showing some far-away
place; not the type used for video conferencing) and either save them to
a directory, named sequentially, or combine them into a movie.

Any suggestions, please?

Google for "Pryme". That is what I use.

Irfanview can be configured to capture all or part of the screen every xx
seconds. Shots are dated and timed. Go to Options > Capture/Screenshot.

That sounds more like what I want, but would require me to have the
webcam in the active window - I want something which will work while I'm
busy doing something else.

Thank you, but that, too, sounds as though it is for people with a
webcam on their computer - I want to view a webcam at a remote site, and
log the images.

Again, that is for people with a webcam on their computer, not viewing
and recording a webcam at a remote site.
