mm2ha Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Hi everybody, I need to buy 2 webcams... I am running Kalyway 10.5.1 Leopard on my Dell XPS m1210 so I was wondering what webcam should I buy that would work natively with this system. Also, I need to get a webcam for my friend, she has an original mac notebook(the last series of PPC before they switch to Intel and Macbooks, I dont know the name) and she is running Tiger on it. Again, I have no idea which webcam is compatible and would work well, as I have "switched" to OS X only very recently. I would love to use the webcams with iChat if possible, or with skype. Thanks for your help! Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/82543-webcam-compatible-with-leopard-hackintosh/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
airtraxxx Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 I use the xbox360 webcam. It works really well and I didn't have to do anything. Just plugged it in, and fired up ichat and it just worked.

airtraxxx Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 the xbox webcam does come with a headset which will work if you do a few modifications or you could get a usb mic. i plug the xbox360 headset into my mic input jack and leopard picks it up fine.

Shubhanyu Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 Sound, video, everything working as expected in the nx3000? Can it be used on my Viewsonic 29inch HD LCD? If I am able to get my hands on an iSight external, is it recommended over today's cameras?

canadrian Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 my external firewire Apple iSight works great, and includes a microphone. Also, look at the "macam" software - it adds full compatibility for a plethora of 3rd-party webcams.

sime3939 Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Try EMTEC SNAKE. It's cheap, plug- and play, needs no driver at all.

sidknee Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 I am trying to use a Creative Live Vista (VFD26D) - both Macam and Skype detect a camera but I get no video... Macam tells me there is a "USB Communication Problem". I am also using a P5WDH mobo. Does anyone have a clue if this is to do with the P5W? And if so, why USB would differ on this board - my other USB devices, 2x ext hard drives, 1x Logic 7 usb key, Logitech wireless hub are all working fine. Ta.

eraserhead77 Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 I'm on a Sony Vaio TZ150 and the internal webcam seems to be recognized by OS X as it allows me to take a picture of myself for the account picture, but if I go into anything like photo booth or capture it says there is no device connected... ...is there a way to fix this? A setting I am missing perhaps...it seems the internal one will work, but how do I get it to be recognized in the other programs?

thecreativeosx Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Ok so first of all a good webcam for your hackintosh, i suggest a Xbox Live webcam because there cheep, great and work. I also think this would work for her mac as-well, i believe your talking about a ibook or powerbook.
