USB 1.1 web cam?

I have a 1st generation 17" 1GHz G4 PowerBook. I'd like to connect a USB webcam to it but, as it only has USB1.1, it appears as though all the USB2 webcams may be simply incompatible...but are they?
Does anyone have any experience with any USB1.1 webcams? I'd like to use Skype but I understand that any video will be at a low frame rate.
If I need to scrounge up an old FireWire iSight I suppose I can do so but I'd like to find a USB1.1 solution.
Suggestions are welcomed.

I pressed Allow, before pressing Allow background was grey, after Allow
it gets black. I see the name of this camera on list. I also try another
camera from Logitech (I can't remember what name was it, but one of the
newest) and everything works which suggest it is strictly related with
this specific camera which I'm using.

After update to 11.2.202.228 mz USB 1.1 web cam stop working

Hi,
I have a camera from MediaTech company, it is written on it MT400 and serial number 2604050599. Before latest update it works, after install newest version of Flash Player it stop working. I tested it on http://testmycam.com as one of Adobe employee advices on forum but I have only black rectangle. On top left corner of this rectangle it is written Camera: USB PC Camera (SN9C 102) , FPS 10. I disabled Hardware acceleration but problem remains.
As I remember this camera is USB 1.1. Does new Flash Version support USB 1.1?
I have checked on Device Manager on my Windows XP Home Edition 2002 Version with SP3 device driver version it is written:
Manufacturer : Sonix
Driver date: 2004-04-02 (I can't find newer drivers on web )
Driver version: 4.6.6.1
Is it bug or Flash Player stops supporting such devices?
Regards

How do I use a usb web cam with MacBook Pro

How do I use a web camera with a MacBook Pro? I want to run it through my laptop so I can project it on a screen for teaching a class.

Can I record directly into iMovie with a usb web cam instead of iSight?
You can try it, but probably not.
This Apple article http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2134 explains that a Firewire-connected, tape-based camera or camcorder mode will work.
If you don't have access to one that works, a simple workaround is to record your video with QuickTimeX Player (the v.10.x one from Lion). You can import that recorded video into iMovie for editing.
If your Mac OS is earlier than Lion whose QuickTime does not offer movie recording as installed, use QuickTime7 Pro for recording.

Can I use my iPhone or iPad as a web cam for my PC via the USB connection?

I've seen quite a few Apps for doing this wireless, most of which a very poorly executed OR don't work at all. I'm just wondering why it hasn't been more popular to do this via the USB connectivity.

Thanks Lawrence but the point is, I already own the $600 dollar device (given as a gift) and secondly because to purchase a web cam that has the same quality as the iPhone is actually just a bit more than $10 and I'm not really desirous to spend anymore money based on my budget. Any ideas of whether or not it can actually be done via USB OR do you have experience with an actual App that works via wireless to a PC? Thanks again...

How to disable USB, Bluetooth, Web Camera in iMac

Hi
Hi we have 4 Apple iMac 21.5” Quad-Core i5 2.5GHz/4GB/500GB/Radeon HD 6750M 512MB. We have upgraded the OS to Mountain Lion. For company security purpose we want to disable USB, Bluetooth, Web Camera. Please help us understand if this can be done or not ?
Thanks in advance,
Soum

Hello, soum_mohanty.
There's no need to post again in the iSight (or any other) forum. Hosts will likely delete multiples anyway. I will just give you my thoughts here.
Use Linc's answer above: (Regards, Linc)
From Hardening Tips - National Security Agency:
... The best way to disable an integrated iSight camera is to have an Apple-certified technician remove it. ...
Contact your Apple-Authorized Service Provider and discuss your needs. If anyone can safely disable the cameras in a way that meets your security requirements without damaging your Macs, it will be an AASP.
If your AASP cannot do what you need with your current Macs, my only remaining suggestion is that you consider trading them for machines that have no inbuilt camera. Mac minis or Mac Pros may meet your needs.

You control the camera for Skype from within Skype, so Skype must be running to running to make video work.

Cannon PowerShot USB Camera as Web Cam?

I’m pretty sure the answer is a big fat “no,” but I thought I might as well ask…
Is there any way to use a Cannon PowerShot camera (set to video and connected via USB) as a makeshift web cam? I’ve been able to use my firewire video camera, but the PowerShot would be great if I could make it work because it can easily be mounted on top of my Cinema Display.

PowerShot cameras don't provide a live web feed, so no, not without a lot of workaround. There have been workarounds posted for Windows systems and it might be possible to do the same on a Mac, but with USB webcams so cheap, it's probably not worth the headache.
BTW, the company's name is spelled "Canon", one "n". It'll make a difference if you do a web search for their products.
Regards.

Driver for USB Web-camera?

I'd like to use a cheap web camera as an input device to Labview so that
I can play with the image processing features.
Does anyone have a driver for something like that? I've looked at the
NI web site and I haven't found anything for USB. Lots of firewire, IEEE 1394,
but no USB.
Jim

That's a joke, right? Very hard? Other that the very specific USB drivers
that Iomega provides with their USB zip drives for WinNT, there are no drivers
for USB for WinNT. There was some software developer down in India that
allegedly had USB drivers for NT and like a fool I tried to use them. Zoowie,
I get to reformat my hard drive. Complete and total system disablement (?)
If you know of any USB driver for WinNT let us all know. I for one have a
large financial and personnel commitment to NT and don't have any plans of
switching to Windows 2000 any time soon.

Web cam and usb ports

hii have problem my web cam and usb ports doesnt work i cant fine drivers fot tham.plz help

hi ...
I have a question to ask regarding webcam and java.
. My web cam is connecting to computer via usb port.
Is there a way in which i can get the media stream
from the webcam which is then ready to be use by java?
Or is there a way in which i can acess the stream data
from usb port
many thanks
sunHi,
You can try a package named: JTwain, which is available at http://asprise.com/product/jtwain.
JTwain supports all kinds of digital cameras and scanners. You can use Java to access, contorl digital cameras and scanners, and of course, to acquire images with flexible settings.
The developers' guide is available @ http://asprise.com/product/jtwain/devGuide.php
In the simplest case, one line of Java code can solve your problem.
Good luck!

Logitech usb web camera

hi...
I have downloaded a file from the labview discussion forum, filename: lv_vfw.zip. This file enable the real-time image capture for web camera, it work fine but when i try to web-enable this program, the image window does not appear in the other pc, what happen?what should i do to allow another party (pc) to have the image?

Are you using Remote Panels with LabVIEW to "web enable" your image? If so, you should be using NI-IMAQ 2.6. The WindDraw window that comes with the Vision module for LabVIEW doesn't work with Remote Panels; you should be using the new embedded front panel image display instead.
I'm not sure where exactly you got the driver for the USB camera, but I'm pretty sure it didn't come from NI. You should probably work with whomever provided the driver.
Good Luck.

Creative video master web cam 2 usb version XP drivers required

Does anyone have a copy of a driver that will work under windows XP for the videoblaster web cam 2 ?

DM, I am pretty sure it does support WMP 0 playlists; I think 2..02 did as well. I do know that 2.20.05 supports Yahoo! Music Engine playlists; I had two albums with the exact same title but by different artists (worse, one of them has a collaboration which makes it impossible to select the entire album in the Artists section of the library), and used YME playlists to properly separate them in my Micro.
Cat, congratulations on the official release of 2.20.05. I have a few questions for you:
Can you confirm that the officially-released 2.20.05 firmware is identical to what was released on Audible's website? (Other than Audible packaging theirs in a zip file, of course.)</LI>
I noticed that "locked charging" isn't listed in the release notes; that was also a ..0 feature which was NOT present in 2..02. I have confirmed thru testing that "locked charging" works on 2.20.05 with a third-party charger (unofficial use); presumably it also works with USB connections on PCs without MTP (official use, but I can't test it). The one report I read of problems with "locked charging" on 2.20.05 was due to the user NOT locking his Micro BEFORE plugging in. Can you obtain official confirmation that "locked charging" is a 2.20.05 feature, and then add the blurb about it from the ..0 release notes to the 2.20.05 release notes?</LI>
And can I add to the firmware wishlist changes to the Albums section of the library, so that two albums by different artists with the exact same title are NOT mixed up? (That might need tagging software that can properly distinguish album artists from those on individual tracks, like WMP 0 does.)</LI>

Capture Web Cam image in APEX and Upload into the Database

Overview
By using a flash object, you should be able to interface with a usb web cam connected to the client machine. Their are a couple of open source ones that I know about, but the one I chose to go with is by Taboca Labs and is called CamCanvas. This is released under the MIT license, and it is at version 0.2, so not very mature - but in saying that it seems to do the trick. The next part is to upload a snapshot into the database - in this particular implementation, it is achieved by taking a snapshot, and putting that data into the canvas object. This is a new HTML5 element, so I am not certain what the IE support would be like. Once you have the image into the canvas, you can then use the provided function convertToDataURL() to convert the image into a Base64 encoded string, which you can then use to convert into to a BLOB. There is however one problem with the Base64 string - APEX has a limitation of 32k for and item value, so can't be submitted by normal means, and a workaround (AJAX) has to be implemented.
Part 1. Capturing the Image from the Flash Object into the Canvas element
Set up the Page
Required Files
Download the tarball of the webcam library from: https://github.com/taboca/CamCanvas-API-/tarball/master
Upload the necessary components to your application. (The flash swf file can be got from one of the samples in the Samples folder. In the root of the tarball, there is actually a swf file, but this seems to be a different file than of what is in the samples - so I just stick with the one from the samples)
Page Body
Create a HTML region, and add the following:
    <div class="container">
     <object id="iembedflash" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000"
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,0,0" width="320" height="240">
          <param name="movie" value="#APP_IMAGES#camcanvas.swf" />
          <param name="quality" value="high" />
          <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" />
          <embed allowScriptAccess="always" id="embedflash" src="#APP_IMAGES#camcanvas.swf" quality="high" width="320" height="240"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" mayscript="true" />
    </object>
    </div>
<p><a href="javascript:captureToCanvas()">Capture</a></p>
<canvas style="border:1px solid yellow" id="canvas" width="320" height="240"></canvas>That will create the webcam container, and an empty canvas element for the captured image to go into.
Also, have a hidden unprotected page item to store the Base64 code into - I called mine P2_IMAGE_BASE64
HTML Header and Body Attribute
Add the Page HTML Body Attribute as:
onload="init(320,240)"
JavaScript
Add the following in the Function and Global Variable Declarations for the page (mostly taken out of the samples provided)
//Camera relations functions
var gCtx = null;
var gCanvas = null;
var imageData = null;
var ii=0;
var jj=0;
var c=0;
function init(ww,hh){
     gCanvas = document.getElementById("canvas");
     var w = ww;
     var h = hh;
     gCanvas.style.width = w + "px";
     gCanvas.style.height = h + "px";
     gCanvas.width = w;
     gCanvas.height = h;
     gCtx = gCanvas.getContext("2d");
     gCtx.clearRect(0, 0, w, h);
     imageData = gCtx.getImageData( 0,0,320,240);
function passLine(stringPixels) {
     //a = (intVal >> 24) & 0xff;
     var coll = stringPixels.split("-");
     for(var i=0;i<320;i++) {
          var intVal = parseInt(coll);
          r = (intVal >> 16) & 0xff;
          g = (intVal >> 8) & 0xff;
          b = (intVal ) & 0xff;
          imageData.data[c+0]=r;
          imageData.data[c+1]=g;
          imageData.data[c+2]=b;
          imageData.data[c+3]=255;
          c+=4;
     if(c>=320*240*4) {
          c=0;
          gCtx.putImageData(imageData, 0,0);
function captureToCanvas() {
     flash = document.getElementById("embedflash");
     flash.ccCapture();
     var canvEle = document.getElementById('canvas');
     $s('P2_IMAGE_BASE64', canvEle.toDataURL());//Assumes hidden item name is P2_IMAGE_BASE64
     clob_Submit();//this is a part of part (AJAX submit value to a collection) two
}In the footer region of the page (which is just a loading image to show whilst the data is being submitted to the collection [hidden by default]) :<img src="#IMAGE_PREFIX#processing3.gif" id="AjaxLoading"
style="display:none;position:absolute;left:45%;top:45%;padding:10px;border:2px solid black;background:#FFF;" />If you give it a quick test, you should be able to see the webcam feed and capture it into the canvas element by clicking the capture link, in between the two elements - it might through a JS error since the clob_Submit() function does not exist yet.
*Part 2. Upload the image into the Database*
As mentioned in the overview, the main limitation is that APEX can't submit values larger than 32k, which I hope the APEX development team will be fixing this limitation in a future release, the workaround isn't really good from a maintainability perspective.
In the sample applications, there is one that demonstrates saving values to the database that are over 32k, which uses an AJAX technique: see http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/apex/application-express/packaged-apps-090453.html#LARGE.
*Required Files*
From the sample application, there is a script you need to upload, and reference in your page. So you can either install the sample application I linked to, or grab the script from the demonstration I have provided - its called apex_save_large.js.
*Create a New Page*
Create a page to Post the large value to (I created mine as 1000), and create the following process, with the condition that Request = SAVE. (All this is in the sample application for saving large values).declare
     l_code clob := empty_clob;
begin
     dbms_lob.createtemporary( l_code, false, dbms_lob.SESSION );
     for i in 1..wwv_flow.g_f01.count loop
          dbms_lob.writeappend(l_code,length(wwv_flow.g_f01(i)),wwv_flow.g_f01(i));
     end loop;
     apex_collection.create_or_truncate_collection(p_collection_name => wc_pkg_globals.g_base64_collection);
     apex_collection.add_member(p_collection_name => wc_pkg_globals.g_base64_collection,p_clob001 => l_code);
     htmldb_application.g_unrecoverable_error := TRUE;
end;I also created a package for storing the collection name, which is referred to in the process, for the collection name:create or replace
package
wc_pkg_globals
as
g_base64_collection constant varchar2(40) := 'BASE64_IMAGE';
end wc_pkg_globals;That is all that needs to be done for page 1000. You don't use this for anything else, *so go back to edit the camera page*.
*Modify the Function and Global Variable Declarations* (to be able to submit large values.)
The below again assumes the item that you want to submit has an item name of 'P2_IMAGE_BASE64', the condition of the process on the POST page is request = SAVE, and the post page is page 1000. This has been taken srtaight from the sample application for saving large values.//32K Limit workaround functions
function clob_Submit(){
          $x_Show('AjaxLoading')
          $a_PostClob('P2_IMAGE_BASE64','SAVE','1000',clob_SubmitReturn);
function clob_SubmitReturn(){
          if(p.readyState == 4){
                         $x_Hide('AjaxLoading');
                         $x('P2_IMAGE_BASE64').value = '';
          }else{return false;}
function doSubmit(r){
$x('P2_IMAGE_BASE64').value = ''
     flowSelectAll();
     document.wwv_flow.p_request.value = r;
     document.wwv_flow.submit();
}Also, reference the script that the above code makes use of, in the page header<script type="text/javascript" src="#WORKSPACE_IMAGES#apex_save_large.js"></script>Assuming the script is located in workspace images, and not associated to a specific app. Other wise reference #APP_IMAGES#
*Set up the table to store the images*CREATE TABLE "WC_SNAPSHOT"
"WC_SNAPSHOT_ID" NUMBER NOT NULL ENABLE,
"BINARY" BLOB,
CONSTRAINT "WC_SNAPSHOT_PK" PRIMARY KEY ("WC_SNAPSHOT_ID")
create sequence seq_wc_snapshot start with 1 increment by 1;
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER "BI_WC_SNAPSHOT" BEFORE
INSERT ON WC_SNAPSHOT FOR EACH ROW BEGIN
SELECT seq_wc_snapshot.nextval INTO :NEW.wc_snapshot_id FROM dual;
END;
Then finally, create a page process to save the image:declare
v_image_input CLOB;
v_image_output BLOB;
v_buffer NUMBER := 64;
v_start_index NUMBER := 1;
v_raw_temp raw(64);
begin
--discard the bit of the string we dont need
select substr(clob001, instr(clob001, ',')+1, length(clob001)) into v_image_input
from apex_collections
where collection_name = wc_pkg_globals.g_base64_collection;
dbms_lob.createtemporary(v_image_output, true);
for i in 1..ceil(dbms_lob.getlength(v_image_input)/v_buffer) loop
v_raw_temp := utl_encode.base64_decode(utl_raw.cast_to_raw(dbms_lob.substr(v_image_input, v_buffer, v_start_index)));
dbms_lob.writeappend(v_image_output, utl_raw.length(v_raw_temp),v_raw_temp);
v_start_index := v_start_index + v_buffer;
end loop;
insert into WC_SNAPSHOT (binary) values (v_image_output); commit;
end;Create a save button - add some sort of validation to make sure the hidden item has a value (i.e. image has been captured). Make the above conditional for request = button name so it only runs when you click Save (you probably want to disable this button until the data has been completely submitted to the collection - I haven't done this in the demonstration).
Voila, you should have now be able to capture the image from a webcam. Take a look at the samples from the CamCanvas API for extra effects if you wanted to do something special.
And of course, all the above assumed you want a resolution of 320 x 240 for the image.
Disclaimer: At time of writing, this worked with a logitech something or rather webcam, and is completely untested on IE.
Check out a demo: http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=trents_demos:webcam_i (my image is a bit blocky, but i think its just my webcam. I've seen others that are much more crisp using this) Also, just be sure to wait for the progress bar to dissappear before clicking Save.
Feedback welcomed.

Hmm, maybe for some reason you aren't getting the base64 version of the saved image? Is the collection getting the full base64 string? Seems like its not getting any if its no data found.
The javascript console is your friend.
Also, in the example i used an extra page, from what one of the examples on apex packages apps had. But since then, I found this post by Carl: http://carlback.blogspot.com/2008/04/new-stuff-4-over-head-with-clob.html - I would use this technique for submitting the clob, over what I have done - as its less hacky. Just sayin.

Using web cam with a Mac Pro

Hey All... Was hoping to get some pointers on get a web cam working on a mac pro so that I can use jabber to video chat from it. Any special brands that I would look at? Today at the local computer store looked like everything said yes to Windows but nothing mentioned OSX compatibility... Thanks for any posters

I read recently that these USB video class devices now all work with OS X (though perhaps only with 10.4.10 or later) without the need for any software to make them work in iChat and PhotoBooth and apps like that.
Of those cameras it seemed to me that the Microsoft Xbox Live Vision was both the cheapest and best looking so I bought one.
It works perfectly and quite surprisingly doesn't look too bad either (the 'XBOX 360' logo is almost invisible). I was hoping to get a real iSight and was even prepared to pay the $300 they seem to go for these days but at the time I decided to get one I couldn't find any on Ebay or Amazon. I'd recommend the Xbox camera, it's easily good enough.
Having said that, I don't think I've heard of any apps that enable video chat through Jabber with OS X (or any other OS from memory). Which app were you going to use? Please enlighten me...

I see only one WEB camera

Hello all
I have LV 7.1
I installed the two same identical WEB camera.
But in the LV I can see only one WEB camera - the first . The second cemera I don't see in the LV
Why ?
Respect
Iskander

Hey Iskander,
Check out the following KnowledgeBase called Accessing Multiple USB Cameras That Have the Same Name, and it looks like you have the same issue of having multiple cameras with the same name. The problem lies with your specific USB camera's driver in that it is not giving the cameras a unique camera name. There are a couple of solutions in the KB.
Also, since you are using the NI-IMAQ for USB Cameras driver, you will also want to check out some of the Known Issues that are now documented on the download page for the driver. First, this driver only supports acquiring from one USB camera at a single time, so you might want to consider using Firewire or GigE cameras. Second if you are considering using 2 USB cameras, you might be thinking that you can just acquire from one, close its session, then acquire from the other, and then go back and forth by acquiring and closing the sessions each time. But then another issue you will run into, if you do this in your program, is the second known issue of the IMAQ for USB Cameras driver, - Opening and closing a camera session causes a small memory leak, so it is not recommended to do this repeatedly.
Regards,
DJ L.
