Hi Everbody!!
I just bought this camera DIGIGR8 3 MP. I tried to use it as a webcam using PC Camera mode but was not able to see anything on my PC monitor after connecting it through a USB. The manual says use a compatible video grasp program.

Couldyou please tell me what to do? Any software suggestions? tips?

Thanks.

Is it suppose to came with it's own software on CD? (like webcam)

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.
The only software it came with is Arcsoft photoimpression 4, and Sunplus ca 533a which I guess is a driver.
It has the ability for PC camera mode, but it says videos can be grasped by using any " video grasp software".

I don't know how to turn it into a webcam..

Thanks

You may try these, I don`t know if they will recognize your cam as webcam

When you plug the camera in the USB port, Win XP should process the driver installation and give you some choices I guess

Hi,

I got a Nikkon coolpix S1. Can i use it as a webcam? If yes then how?

Hey.

Cameras that I've hadrefer to"grasping" &"grabbing" ascapturing a still shot from a recorded video, it's never been related to using it as a webcam. I can't speak for your camera, though, so it might mean something different...

I can't really give you any advice on forcing your camera to broadcast, except to make sure it's set to moviemode. Maybe you could just buy a separate webcam? They're pretty cheap.

I agree with Opal. The webcams I've seen are pretty cheap something like $10-30 US. I'd get one of those and use my good camera for taking real photos.

I have a webcam in my yard and I use the Axis 2100. It works great and performs without any use of my PC. I watch LIVE from any PC in my house and the camera uploads photos every 20 sec to my website. You can get more info at http://www.axis.com .My birdcam is http://www.okiebirdcam.com If you need more info I can direct you to someone that can explain it better. All I can tell you is it's pretty much trouble free and performs excellent in low light. I do have it in a box that protects it from harsh weather and I've had to make it coon proof with a baffle. Occasionally I have to refocus the lens if we have a sudden drop in temps.Also have a deer feeder to keep them occupied so they won't eat from my platform feeder. Hope I've helped. Oh yeah, I've seen the Axis on EBay many times. Good luck!
