MacBook Air :: FaceTime Vs ISight Cameras?

Oct 20, 2010

So I noticed that Steve kept saying that the new MacBook Air shipped with the FaceTime camera. I was wondering about this all day long, so I have to ask now.

On the Notebook comparison page of Apple.com, it even notes that they are 2 different features. What on earth is the difference?

Does the new FaceTime program only work on the Air? Is it a better quality camera? Maybe it's just that they wanted to drop the iSight name, and bring FaceTime to the computer audience?

IMac :: ISight Cameras Use A USB Bus Connection To The System

Apr 30, 2009

According to the Guides section of the forum, the built in iSight cams use a USB bus connection to the system. Has anyone ever "harvested" the iSight from broken iMacs or MacBooks and wired them for external use? I would imagine that they'd make great fixed focus surveillance cams.

Mac Pro :: 27" - Multiple Monitors - Disable The ISight Cameras?

Apr 15, 2010

Forgive me if this has been discussed before, but a search didn't reveal the exact answer I was looking for. Lots of discussion of multiple monitors on MBP's though. I am considering purchasing a MacPro and want 3 monitors (probably 3 24" or possibly 27" if they are out by the time I purchase the computer). One window I wanted devoted to Windows under VMWare Fusion, another window for my dictation window (I am a physician that does dictations at home), and the third for viewing lab/radiology results when dictating. What will i need to set up 3 monitors? Do I need 3 separate video cards, or is one video card enough to drive 3 27" monitors? Is there a way to disable the iSight cameras on the two side monitors and only have the middle monitor's iSight functional?

MacBook Air :: FaceTime Camera Vs ISight?

Nov 2, 2010

Apple calls the camera built into the MBA a "FaceTime" camera instead of an iSight camera. What exactly does this mean?

From my understanding, the available APIs from Apple only allow the iSight and FaceTime cameras to record at the same resolution (VGA 640x480). However, the iSight camera is capable of 1280x1020...does this mean the FaceTime camera isn't?

it's the subject of my next YouTube video and demo.

FaceTime :: Facetime Does Not Activate Even The Facetime Preferences Option Is Not Available?

May 7, 2012

My facetime was working fine until recently it asked for a login and this time when I did login with my Apple id, it prompted for email verification. However it is not able to complete the verification and keeps giving the following error message : Could not verify the email address. Please check your network connection and try again.

I have checked the support forums and they all point towards preferences. Problem is that the preferences option for face time is grayed out and I am not able to use them. 

Info:
MacBook Pro (13-inch Early 2011), Mac OS X (10.7.3)

FaceTime :: Accessing FaceTime On Multiple Devices

Jun 2, 2012

I wonder if with regards to accessing FaceTime on multiple devices. We have a number of Mac products (iPad, iPhones and Mac Book Pro) at our house, all connected to one wireless network. Some of these devices can log into FaceTime but others cannot (notably the MacBook pro), using the same Apple ID details. The error message I get is that I should check my network connection. However, the connection is fine, and other devices have no problems with connecting to Facetime.

Hardware :: Finding Digital SLR Cameras?

Jan 27, 2010

I am in the market for a digital SLR at a decent price - not wanting entry-level as such but don't need to pay big-bucks for a pro model.

Basically it is for two purposes:

1) Getting started in Digital SLR photography

2) Photography buildings and architecture on an upcoming trip to the Middle East.

So, a couple of friends who know about this have recommended the Nikon D40 - I have seen this model and priced it and it looks a good deal.

My main question is that it is around 6 MP - I have heard many pros and cons re this...is it a problem? Is this camera the best in its price-range or are there any other suggestions?

Applications :: Record From 4 Cameras Simultaneously?

Jan 5, 2011

I am looking for some software for mac that allows me to record from up to 4 webcams at one time. So far I've only found this one called EvoCam, but I don't feel like paying that much and it's got way more features then I need so it's not worth it. I don't mind paying a bit of money but 95% of the features in EvoCam are useless to me.

Hardware :: Next Step Up For Video Cameras

Apr 16, 2009

I'd like some suggestions for the next step up in video cameras after the built-in iSight that came with my MacBook. The plan is to do some random video capture for a website. Not arty or necessarily Hi Res, just a good basic camera that can 1) be mounted on a tripod or stand and 2) is relatively inexpensive.

OS X :: Remote Access Of Cameras In Macs?

Mar 1, 2010

As you all probably have heard by now, some schools that give computers to students have been accessing the cameras in Macs to spy on the people using them. My sister is a college professor and her school gave her a Mac with a camera, how can she verify that no one has been spying on her? Is there anything she can do to prevent it from happening in the future?

Applications :: Viewing CCTV Cameras With IE?

Apr 24, 2010

I think this is the correct place to put this.... but here it goes.

I live in a sketchy area of Atlanta, and I'm a pilot so I'm gone about half the month. I had a CCTV system installed with an internet ready DVR. But, like most DVRs - I need ActiveX to be able to use it from remote locations.

Now - I have two macs, an iMac G4 PowerPC with the 17in swivel monitor, and a MBP. I normally carry the MBP to work with me, but I ordered an iPad 3G which I will be carrying from here on out.

I want to get IE with ActiveX on the iMac G4 and then uses an app such as LogMeIn on the iPad to access my DVR (through the iMac) when I'm out of town. How I do this is beyond me, and it makes it more complicated since it's not an intel based Mac.

MacBook :: ISight Turning On By Itself?

Sep 22, 2008

He has a stock white 2.2GHz MacBook, the 2.2GHz SR, with 1GB RAM. Now, recently, he noticed that the green indicator light next to his iSight camera, is always on, even if he just started up his 'Book. If he tries to open Photo Booth, all he gets is not a picture on the Photo Booth window, but in fact, just plain black inside the window, with no error message. Does anyone know what is going on?
