How to Record Video From Your Webcam:



Want to record video from your webcam and save it as a movie? This works with any webcam and any webcam capture program! It's simple, and this tutorial article will make it easy for beginners

• Start by loading your webcam and making sure it is detected by your computer properly. You can verify this by using a webcam test website or program
• Now you must choose a Free Webcam Recorder that will capture your webcam video input and save it as a movie file (AVI, MPEG, MOV, etc.)! You can find these on Webcam Recording Software websites
• You can use the Webcam Video Recorder software to capture your webcam video or other webcams that you want to save. For example, if you are on a webcam chat site, you may record their webcam with your software
• Use your favorite webcam video, and click 'Capture'! You've got your software loaded, capturing, and now all you have left to do is adjust your quality settings. It is highly suggested that you use a setting somewhere in the middle (around 40-60) for best results

How to Use Webcams on MSN Messenger:



MSN Messenger allows you to communicate with people all over the country. Chatting allows you to keep in touch and share your thoughts and feelings. The conversation is much quicker and more interactive than email. Sometimes, though, it would be really nice to see who you are chatting with. Fortunately, it is possible to use Webcams on MSN Messenger to do just that. By setting up your Webcam for use on MSN Messenger, you will be able to have a video chat with friends, family, or colleagues. Follow these steps to find out how

How to Use Webcams on MSN Messenger:

• Log in to your account at the MSN Web site (see Resources below)
• Locate the "Webcam" icon underneath your display picture
• Click the "Webcam" icon
• Select "Send My Webcam" to the person that you want to send your video to
• Wait for your chat partner to accept your Webcam invitation. Once he or she accepts it, your live video feed will begin
• Finish sending the video feed by clicking the "Webcam" icon once again
• Open the MSN Messenger program on your computer

Show or Hide Your Webcam:

• Open MSN Messenger on your computer
• Click the "Tools" menu and then select "Options" from the drop-down list
• Locate the "Personal" link and click it with your mouse
• Find the "My Webcam" area and either select or de-select next to where it says "Allow Others to See That I Have a Webcam." This is handy for letting those in your chat list know whether you can have a video chat with them--whether or not they have Webcams

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

• 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
• 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
• 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
• 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
• 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
• Download an instant message program if using the web camera for chatting. Some free IM download programs include Yahoo Messenger, AOL Instant Messenger and Apple iChat

How to Choose a Webcam for a Gift:



Webcams make it easier to stay in touch with friends and family and make a great gift idea. Online video conferencing services such as Skype make it possible to have free face to face contact from any distance. This article explains how to go about choosing a webcam for a gift

• First, collect information on the gift recipient's computer. You can do this yourself, or enlist a secret helper in the person's house. At a minimum collect the following information: the operating system (windows or mac) and version (xp, vista etc.), amount of memory (RAM), and the type of ports available (e.g. USB)
• Next, find some webcam options that are within your price range and that match the operating system, memory size, and port types of the computer the recipient will use
• Now consider the image quality of the webcam. There are two main factors to look at: frame rate and resolution. The most common frame rate is 30 frames per second, and the most common resolution is 640 x 480. Prices will increase as either of these go up, but the image quality will also increase. I suggest getting the highest frame rate and resolution you can afford so that the video and pictures are good quality
• Eliminate any webcam candidates that would not fit the type of monitor the recipient uses. There are some models specifically designed for use on a laptop or specific monitor types
• Check on whether the webcam packages remaining come with extra features. Sometimes these features would be used by the gift recipient, sometimes they would not be used. Often, the image quality of two webcam packages are the same, but one package is higher priced due to these extra features
• Lastly, search for reviews on the camera you have selected. This is always a good idea before buying something. Use a search engine such as Google to search for reviews on the model number. For example, search for "logitech c250 review" and you should get some reviews on that model. Keep looking if the reviews are consistently poor on a particular webcam model

Tips & Warnings:

• Do not allow children to use webcams unattended or give out their IM address to strangers
• Windows system information can be found in the control panel under "system
• USB ports are the most common type, but some models use the FireWire type or older serial ports
• Keep in mind the speed of their computer and internet connection when choosing to buy a camera with higher image quality. An old computer or slow connection may struggle to keep up with the higher image quality software
• Sending video over the Internet is one of the most demanding things you can do with your Internet connection. To increase your enjoyment, it's helpful if both parties in the chat have a high-speed Internet connection
• Only the sender needs to have and use a Webcam. The receiver does not need a Webcam to view the video feed
• For audio along with your video, both the sender and the receiver will need a sound card and speakers or headphones. To chat back and forth, both will also need a microphone or headset
• You can only ask one person at a time to accept your Webcam invitation. However, you can then invite other people to separate video feeds
• If you are having trouble making a video connection, verify that any firewalls you may be using are turned off
• If your computer is missing a video codec, your webcam may have trouble displaying video correctly
