Answer
Hello, Many users have problems with web cams. Press the designated button to turn on your camera. If you are using an external camera, use a compatible USB cable to connect the camera to the USB port of your computer.

Visit a website that allows you to test your webcam online. An example of a site you can use include http://www.ehow.com/how_8443971_test-webcam-online.html
Next try this.
Click the "Allow" button from the flash player settings window. You should now see live video footage from your web camera. If you don't see live video, your web camera is not working properly.
To reinstall the drivers try this. Right click on My Computer-> Properties -> Device manager -> Imaging Devices -? Webcam. Right click on the webcam and uninstall it. This will cause the computer to reinstall the drivers and software. Restart the computer and hopefully your problem will be fixed.

What kind of security camera can I buy for my home?

sendmymail

I need something that will get a clear picture of a face 30 to 60 feet from my home. There are some kids in the neighborhood vandalizing cars. I would like to catch them if they vandalize my car, its at night that they come around so I don't care if its color or black and white as long as I can get a clear picture of the faces of these guys. I only have a budget of $500- $800 Max.

Answer
go to CNET.com or CONSUMER REPORTS.COM

I don't use one, but both those sites have tested them and give great reviews, and also the prices.

Is there a type of cheap security camera that can record my dad looking at porn in the act and alert my mom?

houseofmiz

My dad has been looking at porn (even when my mom is sitting right there on the couch next to the recliner) and I can easily see his screen from where I sit in the dinning room on my comp, and I've told my mom before and she believes me because she has found it all over the harddrive on his old computers. My dad claims his Mac doesn't have histroy even though I saw the option in the toolbar, and he clicks on it and its all gone, because he deleted it! We have an open counterspace which the chair is pushed up againest and whenever I walk into the kitchen he quickly closes the screen or switches pages. And whenever I accuse him hedenys it and gets extremely defensive, my dad has even cheated on my mom before. WHat is a great small (cheap) security camera I can set up on the counter, hidden beneath something and record my dad in the act to show my mom?
My dad knows about all those spy program so they won't work... he never leaves his comp alone an its password protected. My moms been planning a devoice for a while but he got rid of the papers before my mom even got to sign them or anything, he lies about my mom spending all this money to his parents, and he spends the money so we can't spend any of it, even for food.

Answer
don't listen to that jerk reyderz...obviously he is a child molester and trying to defend his own actions...

there are alot of spy programs you can load onto his computer that will show you everything he looks at and it can mail you all that info without him knowing it...go to cnet.com and there are alot of free downloads that will let you see...

A true man will never cheat on his family...it is not just cheating on his wife it is cheating on the family...the family goes through the suffering not just the wife...

I work for a security company and we have to use digital cameras for report use. I am wondering if anyone knows about good cameras that are nice and durable for sadly relatively cheap. We can't go more than 130 on the camera. Also if anyone knows a really good durable case since the problem mostly seems to be people dropping the camera.

How to get IBM pc camera running on windows 8?

Nick

Assuming i know my IDE from my AVI, (im not new to computers) I tried installing an old IBM PC camera the one with the 8889 #, now i was able to download a driver, and install it to the device, download the computer software for that device, and thanks to the YES or NO options windows leaves you with, there is nothing else i can possibly do in combinations of re installing, and setting things up, My usb port charges a phone, so it cannot be power related, anyway, my computer picks it up, and runs the software, but i get the Code 10 "wont turn on" or what ever bullshit error windows wants to leave me with, and the softwares tell me "no camera is plugged in". In my anger i have grabbed it by the cord and swung it into the door, the board came out and works just the same, so im trying one more time, is there any way to get this running with third party software, or is it just useless obsolete tech, i got an old xbox controller to work without issue on my pc, this is just crazy, i got the camera for free, so i dont care about it, the goal was to setup a security camera, can i mod the board to just work, or is my computer just not going to recognize this POS

What are some differences between macs and pc?

j. wells

i am doing a little compare and contrast essay on these and need ideas.

Answer
PC=Variety of specs, options, quality, prices, vendors, support
Mac=One vendor, limited options, still more expensive. Look below for more information..

Today, Macs use a subset of PC hardware. Why spend extra to get the same CPU chips, graphics cards and OS X isn't as secure as you think..


Don't believe the lies that Macs are better than PCs at graphics/animation.. Dreamworks Animation http://www.dreamworksanimation.com/ under studio click on Technology of Animation, an independent film maker I know uses PCs, a graphic artist I used to know uses PCs also.

A number of PCs can also run OS X (Mac OS) http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=os+x+on+pc&btnG=Google+Search&aq=0&oq=os+x+on+ as well just that Apple makes it illegal in order to get Market share.. The reason why Mac can run native Windows is because it is using a subset of PC hardware,

If you decide to buy a Mac for running Windows, you will still have to get the same virus/spyware protection, and run into the same issues as a regular PC.


Now is a Mac worth buying for OS X?

I say: NO... for the following reasons...

QUALITY/PROBLEMS
Contrary to belief, Macs are not better quality. Apple also has been changing suppliers to try to "lower the price" and thus lowering quality. Even with the lower prices, Macs still cost more, they spend a higher percent of budget trying to make it look pretty, and marketing.

Sample of problems: Overheating Macbooks, OS X- not responding to keyboard, some units with 16bit screens, etc. Apple statistics are misleading since Mac users with problem machines are more likely to go out and buy a new computer than PC users. Apple is lowering prices which means you can expect lower quality than in the past. Apple had switched the manufacturers producing parts. OS X also has problems slowing down.
http://news.cnet.com/8301-13506_3-10020263-17.html

http://www.appledefects.com/
http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/os-x-operating-system/107748-mac-os-leopard-running-slow.html
http://cybernetnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/reliable-laptops.jpg

Repairs are more expensive than PCs since the IMac, Mac Mini are compact units, and Apple charges a premium for their services. Some repairs can be done by another repair service but the compact design of the computer causes problems.
With an IMac, if the problem is with the monitor, the whole computer would have to be brought in.
IMac and Mac mini lack expansion.

VIRUSES
Mac OS X has viruses (and significantly on the rise), a friend of mine has a virused Mac. As more users use Macs, more viruses will come out for it. Especially when users think "they are safe".

http://www.macsimumnews.com/index.php/archive/poll_have_you_noticed_an_increase_in_malware_viruses_etc_on_your_mac/

SECURITY
Mac OS X was hacked in 2006 less than 30 minutes, and within 2 minutes in a contest in 2008, and within 10 seconds in 2009. In 2008, Linux and Vista were not hacked until another day when restrictions were lowered. Vista was next, and then Linux. In 2009 Windows 7 fell shortly after the Mac but Linux was unscathed.
Macs are standardized with Cameras, if your Mac gets hacked, the hacker can turn on your camera with more ease.
Please Note: All OS's have vulnerabilities.

A similar equipped PC is much cheaper to purchase than Mac. Lets use Dell (but you can compare with another PC Brand if you like)

**(DESKTOP)

PLEASE NOTE: I compare Apple Mac's vs Dells best deal. If you really want an all-in one the Dell all-in-one has more ram, wireless keyboard and mouse and equivalent to $400 for free making the Imac still more expensive when you matching specs. Personally I don't think the All-in-Ones are a good choice, and consider them overpriced, lack expandability and repairs both more expensive and require the entire computer.

PS: Apple knows that they need to make Macintosh look different than PC so all Macs except the Mac Pro will not have a tower option. Apple's low end lacks expandability but it makes the Mac "look different", if Mac had a tower for low-end, more people would realize the similarities between the two.

Dell: ($700)
CPU: 2.33 GHZ Dell Inspiron QUAD (4 Processor) CORE
SCREEN: 20inch Screen
MEMORY: 4GB Ram
HARD DRIVE: 500 GB hard Drive

The Mac Mini since it has no monitor, keyboard, mouse, very skimpy on options and setup and is not the best deal... The IMac is better price than the Mac Mini.

ADVANTAGES WINDOWS :
Aprox 90% of the market is Windows and most PCs have windows already pre-installed.
1) Some websites require Internet Explorer, to run IE on Mac you really get ies4osx which is the Windows version of IE running really buggy and illegal if you don't have a legitimate copy of Windows.
2) Supports more devices (printers and other things you hook into the computer).
3) More business software/games
4) Want the dock on OS X (Mac)? google/yahoo rocketdock, objectdoc.
5) Used by businesses.

ADVANTAGES LINUX :
1) FREE (most versions are)
2) Install software by either 1) Synaptic Package Manager, 2) Add/Remove 3) Opening a .deb or .rpm file (depending on distribution)
2) Like the Mac OS X effects? go yahoo/google COMPIZ FUSION which can do any cool effect a Mac can do and many ore....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N3gkX9HDfEE (there is no flickering when you use it like on the video, not sure why the person has the flicker)
3) Mac OS X Doc? google/yahoo Avant Window Navigator.Cairo Dock, http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x3rf5q_cairo-dock-mac-os-x-leopard-dock-on_tech
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p0hzi22g2DE
4) It is FASTER/MORE SECURE to surf on the internet
5) Some Windows programs work with Wnehq/Crossover (also avail on Mac, but why pay $$$)

Is there a type of cheap security camera that can record my dad looking at porn in the act and alert my mom?

best security camera cnet image

houseofmiz

My dad has been looking at porn (even when my mom is sitting right there on the couch next to the recliner) and I can easily see his screen from where I sit in the dinning room on my comp, and I've told my mom before and she believes me because she has found it all over the harddrive on his old computers. My dad claims his Mac doesn't have histroy even though I saw the option in the toolbar, and he clicks on it and its all gone, because he deleted it! We have an open counterspace which the chair is pushed up againest and whenever I walk into the kitchen he quickly closes the screen or switches pages. And whenever I accuse him hedenys it and gets extremely defensive, my dad has even cheated on my mom before. WHat is a great small (cheap) security camera I can set up on the counter, hidden beneath something and record my dad in the act to show my mom?
My dad knows about all those spy program so they won't work... he never leaves his comp alone an its password protected. My moms been planning a devoice for a while but he got rid of the papers before my mom even got to sign them or anything, he lies about my mom spending all this money to his parents, and he spends the money so we can't spend any of it, even for food.

What kind of security camera can I buy for my home?

sendmymail

I need something that will get a clear picture of a face 30 to 60 feet from my home. There are some kids in the neighborhood vandalizing cars. I would like to catch them if they vandalize my car, its at night that they come around so I don't care if its color or black and white as long as I can get a clear picture of the faces of these guys. I only have a budget of $500- $800 Max.

Answer
go to CNET.com or CONSUMER REPORTS.COM

I don't use one, but both those sites have tested them and give great reviews, and also the prices.

How to get IBM pc camera running on windows 8?

best security camera cnet image

Nick

Assuming i know my IDE from my AVI, (im not new to computers) I tried installing an old IBM PC camera the one with the 8889 #, now i was able to download a driver, and install it to the device, download the computer software for that device, and thanks to the YES or NO options windows leaves you with, there is nothing else i can possibly do in combinations of re installing, and setting things up, My usb port charges a phone, so it cannot be power related, anyway, my computer picks it up, and runs the software, but i get the Code 10 "wont turn on" or what ever bullshit error windows wants to leave me with, and the softwares tell me "no camera is plugged in". In my anger i have grabbed it by the cord and swung it into the door, the board came out and works just the same, so im trying one more time, is there any way to get this running with third party software, or is it just useless obsolete tech, i got an old xbox controller to work without issue on my pc, this is just crazy, i got the camera for free, so i dont care about it, the goal was to setup a security camera, can i mod the board to just work, or is my computer just not going to recognize this POS

Answer
Hey, that is a great question, thanks for coming to answers, I hope this information helps.
Press the designated button to turn on your camera. If you are using an external camera, use a compatible USB cable to connect the camera to the USB port of your computer.

Visit a website that allows you to test your webcam online. An example of a site you can use include http://www.ehow.com/how_8443971_test-webcam-online.html
Next try this.
Click the "Allow" button from the flash player settings window. You should now see live video footage from your web camera. If you don't see live video, your web camera is not working properly.
To reinstall the drivers try this. Right click on My Computer-> Properties -> Device manager -> Imaging Devices -? Webcam. Right click on the webcam and uninstall it. This will cause the computer to reinstall the drivers and software. Restart the computer and hopefully your problem will be fixed.
