How To Install a Webcam |
||||
| Installing a webcam can be done with a little patience in a few easy steps. Whether used for work conferencing, staying in touch with friends and family or for surveillance, a webcam can become an essential part of a computer setup. | ||||
|
||||
Step1
Purchase a camera. Webcams can range from a
basic model for around $30 to ones that contain a motion sensor for around $350
or so. Most mid-priced models come with a microphone install. Decide on what
this camera will be used for and choose accordingly. |
||||
Step2
Read the installation instructions completely
before attempting to install the camera. Although this may seem tedious and
unnecessary, it can save time and headaches in the long run. |
||||
Step3
Back up the computer's hard drive just to be
safe. This will allow for a speedy recovery should the installation mess up the
computer. |
||||
Step4
Install the webcam software. Before deciding
to install the disc that came with the camera, check the Internet for an updated
version of the software and download that if available. |
||||
Step5
Plug in the webcam. The software should give a
prompt at the appropriate time. Cameras are usually installed with a USB cable.
If installed correctly, the computer will acknowledge so by popping up a message
saying it can see the new device. |
||||
Step6
Download an instant message program if using
the web camera for chatting like webcamchatroulette. Some free IM download programs include Yahoo
Messenger, AOL Instant Messenger, Skype and Apple iChat... |
||||
Do not allow
children to use webcams unattended or give out their IM address to
strangers. |
