Wireless Webcam for Mac?

Hi folks.
I'm needing some webcams around the house, that tie into my wireless network. I don't need outdoor, nor steering/manipulation/sound. I just want to plug it in, point it at my bbq or front door, and sit at my computer to review 4 fps, or something like that.
Nothing fancy.
But I can't find anything that's Mac compatible. I'm sure I'm not searching far and wide, so I thought I'd ask in here.
Anybody know of a relatively good camera to do such a thing? 2 cameras on my WiFi?
Cheers

got a couple of sites for you to visit. both these provide information about using webcams on a mac. one is specific to webcams for chat etc: http://www.mac-compatible-web-cam.com/
The other is more in line with your desire to use mac compatible web cams for video surveillance needs: http://www.secure-safe-home.com/macintosh-security/ip-usb-webcams.html
Hope these help you in your quest.

  • Wireless WebCam for a Robotic Project

    I am interested in your Wireless WebCam for a robotic project being built by my students. The robots will be using the webcam to image GE’s digital hologram (http://ge.ecomagination.com/smartgrid/#/augmented_reality). Does your wireless webcam look a like a normal webcam to the PC?

    Thank you for saving me the time required to buy it and then return it. If anyone has a solution that will work with Flash Video (mimic a webcam). Please let me know.

    does it exist a wireless scanner for mac 10.8 ?

    There is no Airscan :-)
    but you can scan wirelessly on any your OS compatible network scanner of MFP printer with a scanner.
    This has to be connected to your network either via WiFi or Eth cable.

  • Wireless printer for mac OSX 10.7.4 any recommendations

    what is a good wireless printer for mac POC 10.7.4,having problems with hp 3050A

    Hello Flajack,
    Thanks for the post.  I did some checking here and the HP 3050a is compatible with MAC OS 10.7 in a wireless environment.  What kind of issues are you having?  Installation? Connectivity?  Maintaining a wireless connection?  I've included a couple of my favorite links below to assist in getting this resolved.  Check the information in these links and let me know how it goes from there.  Good Luck!

  • Wireless Webcam for Surveillance?

    Hello,
    I am trying to find some recommendations for a good Wireless Webcam that I can use for surveillance in my home. I'd like to be able to move it around, and have it wirelessly take photos and transfer them to my computer / upload them to the web. Obviously I can't use my built-in iSight for this, so I'm looking for a wireless one that is compatible with Macs.
    Do you have any recommendations?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions, Lemonjenny
    Will any of these work for you?

  • HP laserjet P1100 wireless connection for mac

    Hoping for a quick response.... I have a Mac with 10.8.5 and I have purchased an HP Laserjet P1100 wireless printer. I have tried installing the drivers to print wireless...ly with no success. I have taken time out to type this message because I have not been able to find someone who has had  the same issue in the internet. I need a walk thru because there are many steps where the issue may be occuring. Your written installation documentation conflicts with your User Guide PDF file. Cord or no cord during driver installation for wireless connection???  Was lost after #5 page 18 on the User Guide PDF file.
    I figured it out. Your directions are misleading and not up to date. Cord is not an issue but needed for entire install process. At one point I'm in my system prefs then I'm on my web browser where I  found Bonjour which added the network to my printer choices so now I can print wirelessly... hopefully I don't have to do that again because I'm not sure of the steps I took. Fairly complex set up.

    Hey @matt4,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    I see that you have a Mac OS X 10.8.5 and a new HP Laserjet P1100 series printer and are looking for quick and easy wireless configuration steps. I just have one question for you:
    Do you have a P1100 or a P1102w?
    What's my Model Number?
    I'm going to assume that you have a Laserjet P1102w. The steps for wireless configuration of a Laserjet P1102w are a bit confusing on Mac OS X 10.8 as you need to use the generic Apple Airprint driver because there is no 'Full Feature Software and Driver' installation for that Operating System. In saying that, I will try my best to give you easy steps to reference should you need to configure your printer again on the wireless network.
    How to Connect the Printer to the Network:
    Step 1: Install the Generic Mac Printer Driver:
    1. Turn your printer on
    2. Plug your USB cable from the printer directly into your Mac
    3. Click on the Apple menu, and then click System Preferences
    4. Click Print & Scan and make sure your printer is in the list of available devices.
    5. If your printer is not listed, click the plus () sign at the bottom left pane, click the name of your USB printer, and then click Add.
    Step 2: Connect the Printer to the Wireless Network:
    I've added the video above so you can view these step-by-step instructions.
    Click the Apple icon (), and then click System Preferences.
    Click Print & Scan.
    Click Open Print Queue, and then click Printer Setup.
    Click the Utility tab, and then click Open Printer Utility.
    Click HTMLConfig.
    Click the Networking tab, and then click Wireless from the list on the left.
    Under Communication Mode, click Infrastructure, select your network SSID from the Available Network Names (SSID) list, and then click the << button.
    From the Security Mode pop-up menu under Authentication, click WEP or WPA/WPA2. Your selection depends on the wireless security protocol your network uses.
    Note: If your network does not have wireless security, leave the Security Mode set to Open System (No Authentication).
    Type your WEP/WPA/WPA2 key in the appropriate field, and then click Apply.
    In the confirmation box, click OK, and then close the HTML Config and Print Queue windows.
    Step 3: Delete the USB connected printer, and then add the wireless connected printer:
    In the Print & Scan window under Printers, click your printer name, and then click the Minus sign () to remove it.
    NOTE: This removes the USB connection from the list so that the only entry for your printer is the wireless connection.
    Disconnect the USB cable from the printer and the computer.
    Under Printers, click the Plus sign ().
    Select your printer name with Bonjour as the Kind, and then click Add
    Once your printer is configured for Bonjour, if you have other Mac OS X computers that you want to use with this network printer you do not have to run all these steps again. You simply make sure that the other Mac computers are all connected to the same network that you have set your printer up on and just open Print & Scan. Under Printers click the  () plus sign and select your  printer name with Bonjour as the Kind, and then click Add.
    You can reference all of this information in: Setting Up the Printer for a Wireless Network for the HP LaserJet Pro P1102w Printer
    Let me know if these steps help clear up any confusion for you. Good luck!

  • Best webcam for Mac mini core solo?

    What is the best webcam to use for my Mac Mini with an older display - is MacAlly icecam 2 sufficient? and i'm still on 10.4.11. Many thanks for your kind responses.

    I've been looking into webcams for my mini and have noticed that some webcams whilst the video works, the sound doesn't. I have an old webcam which my wife uses on our windows box, and I got it working on my mac using the Macam drivers http://webcam-osx.sourceforge.net/ The only problem was that the microphone wasn't supported, a recurring trend!! From my investigations the Logitech Quick Cam Vision Pro for Mac seems to be the best available, but it is a bit expensive £89.99 here in the UK.

  • WebCam for Mac Pro

    Hi,
    I need some advise as to which web cam people are using outside of the built in options for iMac and the Macbook/Macbook Pro.
    I have a 2007 MP and a 23" Cinema Display, and would like to use a web cam with built in microphone (if possible) to work with Skype. For now I use my MBP for video chat/conferencing. However, I would like to use as well the Mac Pro. I am not prepared to pay these outrageous amounts for the original iSight you find on Amazon or Ebay. I am rather looking for a stylish option from a third party vendor.
    Any suggestion is appreciated.

  • WebCams for Mac Pro

    I'm looking for a good WebCam for the MacPro, and was wondering what the options were.
    Aside from the seductive design, is the iSight way behind modern offerings from LogiTech, and Philips?
    I found the Macam site, so should be able to work out which ones are a definite no-go, but wondered what other MP users are Skyping/iChatting with?

    FWIW, N/B
     http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5725045&#5725045
    Any UVC webcam should work with your 10.5.x MP.
    If you consider buying an external iSight sight-unseen from eBay or other internet seller, (try to) get a written guarantee that you can have the iSight examined by your Apple Authorized Service Provider and can have a refund or exchange if the iSight doesn't pass his checks.
    Also be aware that, even if the external iSight you are considering is advertised as an NOS (new, old-stock) iSight, understand that it may not be covered by Apple Warranty. If the seller is not providing you service guarantees or warranty, you may be want to check Apple's iSight Service: Frequently Asked Questions, especially if you cannot test the iSight before you buy to be sure it is working.
    Moreover, if you buy an external iSight now, verify whether all connectors, cables, and iSight mounts that you need are included. If some items you need are missing but you still want to buy the iSight, this info may be of interest. (Note that Apple no longer offers the "iSight Accessory Kit, Part Number: M9314G/B" that is mentioned there.)
    If you needs parts from the discontinued Kit or some part those listed in the iSight Service: Frequently Asked Questions page and cannot locate them in your area, I recently found that the kind people at http://www.synaptech.com will help users obtain those that are still available.

  • Msn with webcam for mac?

    as you probably know, microsoft msn will not allow my mac webcam to work on it.
    Are there any programs that I can use online or download that will let me talk to my msn contacts and be able to use my webcam?
    I've used amsn, but it was extremely slow on my computer.
    I have also tried skype, but I could only have contacts who were a part of skype, so it was no use.

    Hello ZoeyMay,
    Here is a list of Messenger applications for Macs that can utilize a webcam and is capable of interacting with your MSN contacts. One good one I know of is Mercury Mac. Check it out. Hope this helps..

  • Best webcam for Mac Mini with lion os

    WHat is the best webcam to use on most recent mac mini (lion OS)?

    I purchased a Logitech HD C910 and it works really well. The non-included software for Mac you have to download is crap, but you don't need it for Skype, iChat, PhotoBooth, Google+ hangouts, etc.

    Note carefully please that this feature requires your service plan to include the capability...not all service plan levels include it, and not all carriers offer it. Further, sometimes additional software for your computer must be obtained from the carrier. But, any and all carrier-specific questions about this must be addressed to the carrier...here, we can only give you the generic information...your carrier must provide you with any specific information required.
