I have used it and it works very well .. you can download the software from the link below .. http://www.pantiltcam.com/TCamWeb/download...up_5_2_1_10.exe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All we need is good Video capture/TV tuner card. Works great and the picture quality is far much better than the normal web cam. Once you get your Video capture/TV tuner card installed in the PC, insert the AV cable in to the input of the Video capture card and the other end in to the output of the camera. Here you are, All done. Enjoy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Quantum would cost you Rs. 800/- with 500 Pixals. Rest with 100 Pixal camera would cost anything between Rs. 250/- to Rs. 500/-. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks in Advance and take care! 41660[/snapback] Sure ... Rajanpert, The DVC or the Digital Video Creator is a hardware which is used to connect ur video cam to the comp to record videos, Dazzle DVC 80 fits into the USB port, and I have used my JVC handycam as a web cam for experiments. Information about DVC 80 Once u have attached the cam to the PC thro the DVC. Switch on Yahoo messenger and click on webcam, In the open webcam dialog, select "WDM Capture Device" and then ur camera automatically acts as a webcam. When it comes to digicams ... I guess u have a firewire / USB connecter, and 99% of the digicams do support web cam mode... just install the camera drivers, and connect the camera to the PC...
