Use usb web camera

i want to see a live feed from a usb camera and to be able to save it to my computer
do i need anything else but
NI Vision Acquisition Software?
and can i use this software for analog camera?

Hey guys,
The write to file 2.vi (jpeg,bmp etc.) can only be accessed through the vision development module. This is the same when writing to an AVI file. The vision acquisition software might be able to interact with an analog camera, but we do not support that anymore. Also the vision development module comes with a license for vision acquisition software. I hope that this helps!

Trying to use USB web cam instead of iSight but iMovie won't switch

Hi, everyone. I need to record voice and video from people sitting at right angles to the computer, so I can't use the built in iSight in my monitor. I bought a Mac compatible Logitech QuickCam VisionPro with USB cable, but I can't get iMovie to use it instead of the iSight. The System Profiler shows the Logitech camera listed under USB devices, but when I try to Import video in iMovie, I only have the Built-in iSight to choose from for cameras. Is there anyway to do this? Or do I need a different camera? Or can I use another program to record the video/audio, and then import that into iMovie? I don't need to do any editing, just burn DVDs with iDVD. Thanks in advance...

I had the same problem, cos sometimes imovie won't let you add more titles when you try to take them straight from the title menu. I happened to me mostly when the clip itself is quite short. While imovie won't let you overlay several titles, you surely can have several titles, one after the other, in your project. To do this, I used a little trick: Add some small clip to the end of your project. Doesn't matter what, you're gonna delete it again anyway. You can then add another title to this additional clip. Then you just drag this title from there to your actual clip and place it where you want it. And then you do the next one(s) the same way until you have all your titles where you want them. At the end you just delete the "helping" clip again. It might be a bit complicated way of doing things, but it worked for me.

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.

How do i use my web cam, where do i go to, to get started

Can't figure out where to go to be able to use my web cam. Its not in my devices and printers area.

Firstly, uninstall the current version of Cyberlink Youcam and re-install it.
To Uninstall: Click Start >> type Programs and Features in search and select it from the list >> In there, select Cyberlink Youcam and uninstall it.
Once done, try using webcam with Skype or any other messenger you may have, or else re-install Youcam.
If the above does not work, do a System Restore to a previous working date when the webcam worked.
System Restore: Click Start >> type System Restore in search and select it any perform on-screen instructions to restore the notebook to a previous working date.
If none of the above work, open Device Manager, check if you have 'HP Webcam' listed under Imaging Devices category.
You would find the Product Number on the sticker in the battery compartment, will be similar to XT594PA#ABA.

Capture an image using the web camera from a web application

Hi All,
Could anyone please share the steps what have to be followed for capture an image using the web camera from a web application.
I have a similar requirement like this,
1) Detect the Webcam on the users machine from the web application.(To be more clear when the user clicks on 'Add Photo' tool from the web application)
2) When the user confirms to save, save the Image in users machine at some temporary location with some unique file name.
3) Upload the Image to the server from the temporary location.
Please share the details like, what can be used and how it can be used etc...
Thanks,
Suman

1) Detect the Webcam on the users machine from the web application.(To be more clear when the user clicks on 'Add Photo' tool from the web application)There's not really any good way to do this with JMF. You'd have to somehow create a JMF web-start application that will install the native JMF binaries, and then kick off the capture device scanning code from the application, and then scan through the list of devices found to get the MediaLocator of the web cam.
2) When the user confirms to save, save the Image in users machine at some temporary location with some unique file name.You'd probably be displaying a "preview" window and then you'd just want to capture the image. There are a handful of ways you could capture the image, but it really depends on your situation.
3) Upload the Image to the server from the temporary location.You can find out how to do this on google.
All things told, this application is probably more suited to be a FMJ (Freedom for Media in Java) application than a JMF application. JMF relies on native code to capture from the web cams, whereas FMJ does not.
Alternately, you might want to look into Adobe Flex for this particular application.

HT1941 why i cannot use my web cam using yahoo messenger and face time?

whi i cannot use my web cam using yahoo messenger and face time?

PwmBoat,
This made me smile, because things like this do make me smile... I never make videos on YouCam, but I did this time, so I could test this one out.
You did not say what webcam software you are using...
======================================================================
Video and audio recording works on YouCam V3.5.1.4606
Make sure you have turned on a working microphone in Settings:
YouCam > Right-Side Settings >
Right-Side, Lower-Right, Select a working Microphone from the Drop down list
AND
CHECK "Capture with audio"
OK
You can also buy (for $38 US) YouCam 5.0 from the Cyberlink.com website and it has audio/video and all sorts of other goodies, too. (They have 3.x as well, but why buy what HP already gives you?)

I hope this helps!

Using a web cam with an E-MAC

I want to buy a web cam for use on my grand kids e-mac with skype. Is it possible and what type should I buy (they have hi-speed DSL access)
Thanks, Don

Keep in mind that the 10.4.9 OS X update enabled USB webcams to be used with iChat. However, not any webcam will work. It has to be what's known as a "UVC" webcam, which basically stands for "USB Video Class" Basically a standard for streaming video.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Listof_USB_video_classdevices
There's a list of webcams that should work on your Mac. Ironically the XBox 360 Camera is one of them.
Personally, I've used the Quickcam Fusion before and the quality as at or possibly above what the iSight offered.

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.

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.

How to use same web cams with jmf?

Hello, I'm doing a project with netbeans 4.1 and I need to use two webcams,the same model web cams.The problem is that jmf only detects one of this. I read that if you open two jmfStudio you can use two cams but I want do this programming in java.
Somebody have any idea?
Thanks for all

Hello,
Maybe you have already solve your problem...I think you could use something like this:
Vector deviceListVector;
    deviceListVector = CaptureDeviceManager.getDeviceList(null);
          if (deviceListVector.size() == 0)
               System.out.println("I can't find devices");
               System.exit(0);
          if (deviceListVector == null)
               System.out.println("I can't find devices");
               System.exit(0);
          for ( int x = 0; x < deviceListVector.size(); x++)
               CaptureDeviceInfo deviceInfo = (CaptureDeviceInfo) deviceListVector.elementAt(x);
               String deviceInfoText = deviceInfo.getName();
               System.out.println(deviceInfoText);
          }In this way you can see which devices are conected. I don�t know if it will be useful. :)

Using a Web cam on the mini

Hi friends! Im a owner of an Mac Mini and I was wondering if is possible to use my IPad as Web cam on the mac mini?

Vinicius,
There is a way you can use your iPad as a webcam. There is an application on the App Store for your iPad called Mobiola Web Camera, and you can download it here:
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/webcamera/id348150234?mt=8.
You can download the companion application for your Mac Mini here:
http://mobiola.com/downloads/web_camera/Mobiola_WebCamera_for_iPhone_Desktop.zip
Extract the zip file, and install the .dmg image.
Hope this helps!
