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!

  • I want to get a web cam for the mini so I can use face time. I asked at the Apple store and they said I could use any camera.  When I look at the cameras on Amazon they seem to all be Windows based so I am confused.  Any suggestions?

    We've used the Logitech quickcam Vision Pro for Mac on our mini, with 10.6, and ichat, which has worked well. Looks like it's discontinued, however, a number of sellers on ebay are selling them new for $60-$70.

  • 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.

  • 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?)
    ==========================================================================

  • Can I use a USB camera with the 3rd party USB camera software and share screens?

    I want to do more than just use a USB camera w/iChat (or ichatusb).  I also need to be able to initiate screen sharing between two computers.  Specifically, I will use iChat with an insight built in camera on my end, and the other person will be using an iMac G5 PPC using a USB camera and the 3rd party USB software for USB ichat support.
    My question then is am I able to request screen sharing (taking over their screen) from my ichat/fw combo to their ichatusb/usb combo?
    thanks

    Hi,
    The Cameras don't come into this at all.  (But iChat and OS versions do)
    Each end needs iChat 4 or higher.
    Go to the Video menu and Enable Screen Sharing (Selecting toggles a tick On and Off (Tick Present is ON) )
    Highlight Buddy in list and use the Screen Sharing icon at the bottom of the list (interlinked rectangles).
    The G5 could be on Leopard (iChat 4) and be using a  USB 1.1 camera that would need iUSBCam (formerly iChatUSBCam) as well as the Camera manufacturers Software.
    iChat 3 (In Tiger OS 10.4.x) on the G5 with a USB 1.1 camera, Software and iUSBCam may well offer a Screen Sharing option (Or rather Desktop as Video Feed) in the iChat > Video Menu  and that will not work
    However if the G5 has USB 2.0 ports (not the Keyboard additional ports) then if it is up to OS 10.4.9 it can use a UVC Camera for Video Chats  (UVC = USB Video Class No need for Additional Drivers) but Screen Sharing will still be an issue due to the iChat version.
    IF the G5 is still on OS 10.4.x then you will have to use a third Party VNC app at both ends (And run a iChat Audio Chat along side)

  • Streaming video using a web camera is choppy

    Hello,
    I have an swf program built with flex which displays video from a web camera. The problem is that the the video is being displayed a bit choppy. You can see an example at https://www.completelyonlinetestserver.com/Flex/videobox.html. Try holding a piece of paper with writing in front of the camera and you will see that the writing is very choppy.
    What can I do to make the video clearer?  Any help would be very appreciated.
    Thanks
    Armen  

    Hmmm...I dont have the drivers installed on my computer for my web cam to work, but when I compile that example do get the trace output, "You need a camera.".  So that part works.  Below is the code ported into an MXML file.

                var camera:Camera = Camera.getCamera();
                if (camera != null)
                    camera.addEventListener(ActivityEvent.ACTIVITY, activityHandler);
                    video = new Video(camera.width * 2, camera.height * 2);
                    video.attachCamera(camera);

  • I just puchased a Mac Mini. I have to have a working web cam. The reviews I've been reading don't sound promising. How do I make it happen?

    I just purchased a Mac Mini. I HAVE to have a working web cam. I've been reading web cam reviews and I haven't found one that has a Mac driver. It sounds like the performance on Macs are bad. 2 of the reviews are positive. If I understood it right, one guy made some settings changes on his comp. to make it work. I'm new to Macs and can hardly believe that Mackintosh hasn't produced a single portable web cam in all the years they've been in use.

    Actually I'm pretty sure that Apple did produce a webcam, tho' it was some years ago.  Most USB webcams should work fine. If you HAVE to have one, and know that it will work, then get an Apple Cinema Display or Thunderbolt Display - price tags are pretty hefty tho'!

  • Use a web browser as the source for the vision assistant

    I want to access an ip camera over the internet and then use its video feed to do some processing with the vision assistant. I was wondering if someone could tell me if this is possible and how can it be done. what I have so far is an application that works with local cameras and I also have an example of a web broser in labview. I thought I could use the web browser and use a local variable from the browser in order to get the image, but this can't be wired to the grab or snap, because its not an image, so can someone please tell me how to convert the browser into a video feed, in order for me to use it in my application.

    Crop the image out of the print screen.  I imagine your screen will be a much larger resolution then the camer, and will only take up a portion of your browser window.

  • 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 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.

  • Using a KVM switch between the Mini and a PC

    I've just bought a Mini to try out the whole Mac experience.
    I'm having trouble getting a KVM switch to work with the Mac.
    I have a Tripp Lite B034-002-R KVM switch to share between the Mini and my WinXP PC. The switch changes over to the other computer when you press NUM LOCK twice within 2 seconds. This is working in the PC (i.e. switching from the PC to the Mac is fine) but is not working in the Mac (i.e. the switch doesn't change from the Mac to the PC).
    I have a MS "Natural Keyboard Pro" USB keyboard.
    Is the NUM LOCK key somehow disabled or something on the Mac? I'm hoping there's some knob I can turn to get this working.
    Thanks for your help,
    Tom

    I bought an IOGEAR GCS632U KVM switch to move between my Mini and Windows XP Pro PC. The keyboard is an Apple Pro. The switch was perfect for several days, then every attempt at invoking the hot key mode would fail; resetting the switch would not correct the problem. IOGEAR Support had me try another keyboard, which is the current standard Apple wired keyboard (the $30 one); it had the same problem as the Pro keyboard. Also we tried other things, but all failed. Sent the KVM switch to IOGEAR and they sent me a new one. After two days using the new switch, the keyboard malfunctioned; this time it was the backward delete key that failed. Same problem using other Apple keyboard. IOGEAR Support, after going through the same previous routine in which nothing succeeded in correcting the problem, tells me to return the switch and they will send me another. Based on my experience, apparently the GCS632U model has an incompatibility problem with (some?) Apple keyboards. This is confirmed by two posts on other discussion groups sites. Also, IOGEAR Support would almost admit that to be the case. They suggested that I use a generic keyboard, but I refuse to buy one just to use that KVM switch. IOGEAR should post the potential problem on their website as a warning.
    Does anyone out there know from experience that a particular IOGEAR model does work with an Apple keyboard? IOGEAR Support says that they will send me a different model if I pay the difference. Or can anyone give me the brand name and model number of any KVM switch known to be compatible with Apple keyboards (particularly one that costs less thatn $75)? A ConnectPro 2-port USB KVM switch will work, according to another discussion group post. Any advice or information will be much appreciated.

  • Using Consumer Digital Camera for the Vision System

    I am evaluating, if I can use a consumer digital camera for the vision system. I wanted to see if anybody out there have done that in past? The other question is, do the consumer camera manufacturers provide the driver software in order to retrive the images directly from the camera to the computer ?

    I think your suggestion is right, using a firewire camera is much
    straightforward. But some consumer cameras have advantages too because
    of the very high resolution, especially the newer models of digital
    still camera. If the cameras support PTP protocol, then I have a
    LabVIEW driver for them. Check out more details at:
