  • Web cam recommendations please

    Hi All,
    I'd like to get a web cam with microphone for myself (in a low-light house) but also for three others who own pcs. These pc users are elderly with varying degrees of computer savvy. Sigh. This is strictly non-professional. Keeping the grandparents up to date on grand kids development, that sort of thing.
    Does anybody have (1) opinions about what I should get for my Mac and (2) what to get these pc users?
    Thanks so much.

    If you have a Mac with USB 2.0 Ports and running greater than 10.4.9 then any USb camera that is "Vista Certified" or says USB Video Class (UVC) will work without need for extra drivers on the Mac.
    If you have only got USB 1.1 ports then get a USB camera that has Mac Drivers and the iUSBCam utility (the page has a link to a camera guide about drivers as well).
    The PCs will somewhat depend if they are on Vista or not.

  • Suitable Web Cam Recommendations

  • Recommended Web Cam?

    I've just joined Skype and want to get hold of a web cam for my iMac – can anyone recommend a make and model that is Mac compatible?
    I'm in the UK and so will probably be shopping at PC World or the net.
    Thanks

    Hello, J
    David's recommended QuickCam will surely work with Skype.
    Also, sort by "Mac-compatible" (in the choices bar) here: http://shop.skype.com/webcams/ to see the ones Skype recommends (and sells) for use with Macs.
    If you have one, a Mac-compatible Firewire connected camcorder will work.  This and other info are available in User Tip: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2018211

  • 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.

  • Web camera video quality in Flex

    Hi, I have a flex app which turns on a web camera and shows
    the video from the camera. The problem is that the video resolution
    is a bit choppy or pixilated. I know it’s not because of the
    quality of the webcam since the video is very clear on other
    players. Anyone have an idea how to make the resolution clearer?
    Here is a test app you can try yourself.

    Hi John
    Sorry i don't have the answer, but i'm interested in your question because i have the same kind of issue when i import in iMovie 08, 09 and iMovie HD from my Sony SR10 AVCDH camera.
    I just can say that when i export directly from iMovie to iDVD the quality is bad; this seems to be a well known problem and it is recommended to export video using the Quicktime with H264. With that method, i can obtain good quality in the STATIC images, but during the panoramic movements of the camera the final result (i mean a DVD on my cathodic TV) is disappointing, with a "jerky" rendering.
    You can download on my iDisk an exemple of it at: http://public.me.com/leclercqpascal
    When i compare with the same sequence treated on the PC Sony's software, i find in the latter case a perfectly smooth result.
    The problem is the same when i import from the camera to FCE.
    Help welcome, because i would be disappointed to resort to a PC software!

  • Web Camera compatible with Mac mini

    Could someone recommend a web camera that is compatible with the Mac mini. I bought a Dynex DX-DTCAM that said it works with Mac's but it doesn't. Any help is much appreciated.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    You might find the (brief) thread at http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1144969&tstart=0 of some interest in terms of webcam compatibility as a whole.
    Not sure about the Dynex you have - it is certainly claimed to be MacOS X compatible, though not exactly which version(s) of MacOS X it works with. Assuming you've installed the drivers with the cam from the CD it came with, you might look at t http://www.dynexproducts.com/pc-459-10-dynex-desktop-web-camera.aspx to see if the Windows and Mac driver download on that page offers a later driver for Macs. The 'readme' file is dated June 2007 and it claims it's for MacOS 10.3 and later.

  • Web Cam Not ditect after instaling Windows 8- HP ENVY15-3040nr

    I installed windows 8 for my HP ENVY15-3040nr.

    Please help me to solve this issue

    Have you used the HP Support Assistant to search for any missing drivers or driver updates? If not, I would downloading it and running it to see if it can find anything. I would also recommend that you check and make sure all of your Windows Updates are installed. Try that and let me know if it helps find the missing drivers for you.

  • Satellite R630-14J - after Skype update web cam has disappeared

    Update to Skype 6.6. the Webcam disappeared. not visible in device Manager. multiple Downloads of web cam Drivers don't execute. checked bios. Rebooted machine multiple times.
    What to do to install web cam Software again?

    Hi
    To be honest I cannot understand why webcam device disappears from device manager list after skype update.
    I mean even if there would be a software problem (compatibility issues), the webcam should be listed in device manager even as an unknown device.
    However, by default, certain devices are not shown in the list. To include hidden devices in Device Manager display, click View and select Show Hidden Devices.
    However, I assume you are using Win 7 system.
    > multiple downloads of webcam drivers don't execute
    On Toshiba EU driver page you can find the webcam software.
    Maybe new Skype version damage something in registry. Would recommend uninstalling the Skype firstly. Download and install the repair tool like CCleaner. Clean registry and reboot the notebook. Now try to install the webcam software once again. Reboot the unit and check if you can use the webcam using installed webcam too.

  • Satellite L650 - Web Camera Initializations Failed

    Hello,
    I have a Satellite L650. I have had it for just under 6 months and the other day, I turned on the computer to find the web cam pop up message saying "Web Camera Initializations Failed etc..." I have also noticed that the in built microphone too isn't working anymore.
    I have uninstalled, and re installed the driver and it is still not working.
    I was wondering if there is anyone who can help or has had the same problem?
    Cheers,
    Dylan.

    Hi Dylan,
    Can you use the internal webcam with other applications like Skype?
    Have you installed the correct webcam driver for Satellite L650?
    What operating system you are using?
    If you have already reinstalled the webcam driver I would recommend using CCleaner tool. This is a very nice freeware tool that can check your registry for old registry keys and delete them. So its nice cleaning software to enhance the performance a little bit and fix problems. Just use Google to find this program.
    Check this!!!

    Hello @drifterboy,
    Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
    I have read your post on how the webcam is not working on your notebook computer, and I would be happy to be of assistance!
    Since you have attempted to remove and re-install the software, I recommend returning your system back to a previous restore point when the webcam was working. This can be done by following this document on Using Microsoft System Restore (Windows 8).
    If the issue persists, I also suggest performing a backup and recovery of your Operating System. This can be done by following this document on Backing Up Your Files (Windows 8), as well as Performing an HP System Recovery (Windows 8). This should help return your system back to factory defaults.
    Please re-post with the results of your troubleshooting, and I look forward to your reply!

  • What kind of web cam is compatible other than the built-in one

    I want to start my own web site. I need an external web cam that is compatible with Mac. I tried running Windows to use the Logitech I already have, but it won't broadcast in IM. Where can I find a cam compatible with Mac?? I also need the cam to have motorized tracking. THANKS!

    Hi, you would need a driver to operate an external camera. I recommend [Macam|http://webcam-osx.sourceforge.net>.
    There is also a list of [compatible cameras|http://www.google.com/url?q=http://webcam-osx.sourceforge.net/cameras/i ndex.php&sa=X&oi=smap&resnum=1&ct=result&cd=2&usg=AFQjCNGtq9tHA-D04jkVgBYNak0Ul_ m2Sw] on the Macam site.
    I have never tried using this with an iSight-equipped MacBook, but I can see no reason why it will not work. Let us know if you manage.

  • What Web Cam Should I buy

    Could someone please recommend a webcam so I can talk & see my friends on their PC's.

    Hi,
    Yes iSight should be your first choice.
    However most USB cams can be made to work with this add-on
    http://www.ecamm.com/mac/ichatusbcam/ particularly if the cam comes with Mac drivers.
    Most Firewire web cam will also work without resort to new drivers. Those that don't can use this link and the link it contains http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/drivers/firewirewebcamdriver.html

  • Built-in web cam on HP Envy Smartouch laptop not working

    I have spent hours trying to get my built-in webcam to work. There is no image when I try to use Skype or to open it directly. It is currently saying "connect camera" if I just try to open the camera app. It used to be a HP TruVision camera and has now "switched" to say it's a spca2082 pc camera. I have tried updating the driver (says it's updated), updating all the software that might have anything to do with it (any Windows updates, adobe flashdrive, CyberLink youcam, Skype, etc.). I've searched this forum and tried recommendations like restarting the computer, doing a power reset, even did a system retore. After that it went briefly back to HP TruVision and showed a few seconds of image, but flickered back and forth between that and spca2082 (i.e., video to no video) until it just showed a black screen again. I am NOT techy and have maxed out anything I know how to do, nor can I find a solution online. Please help! I've got two kids away at school and Skype is our main way to stay in touch -- I need a working web cam!!

    This should help:
