acid70 Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 I was looking desperately for a webcam that is working with IChat and Photobooth. Even Cams with a "MacOS" Stamp wont really work. Today i boughjt one for my XBox360 (the only one working ist the "XBox Live Vision" from MS) and just courious as i am i tried it with my Leopard powered Hackintosh and- it works! (under Tiger, too but no Photobooth there). It has great quality too, so if one of you are looking for a cam go and get one!

Proteo Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Would you mind to elaborate a bit? Did the camera work just by pluging it, does it have drivers, or needed macam? Does the camera work with Skype or other video-enabled programs? Thanks in advance, I've been looking for a cheap, working web cam for a while.

acid70 Posted September 17, 2007 Author Share Posted September 17, 2007 I will have to test this evening. I installed macam before (but just not really sure, have installed several things with a lot of cams on my "hunt"). I will delete everything and try if it still works. For now i can tell that it works with IChat and Photobooth, i think the rest will work, too. I will confirm.

ddrdark Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 My logitech eyetoy (from play2) works on photobooth and ichat (using macam drivers) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/63553-finaly-i-found-the-perfect-webcam/#findComment-449777 Share on other sites More sharing options...
acid70 Posted September 17, 2007 Author Share Posted September 17, 2007 OK, I have deleted macam and the QT-Libraries installed by another "driver" and everything is working as it should. It works with ToySight (EyeToy Clone), too. I´m very happy with that cam! Seems that it works out of the box with all the apps that normally require a FW-Cam (thats what they told me), it´s not too expensive and useful for all my systems. For me, it´s very funny that the only cams that seem to work are cams for gaming platforms.
