TMPC-048 Technology Doll True 350K Pixels USB Webcam Web Camera for Notebook PC

Webcams are video capturing devices connected to computers or computer networks, often using USB or, if they connect to networks, ethernet or Wi-Fi. They are well known for their low manufacturing costs and flexible applications.

No. FTP is not fast enough to upload more than about one frame per second, even under ideal conditions. In most cases you can expect no better than one frame every 10 to 15 seconds. I had one webcam, which used satellite Internet, that at times has difficulty achieving one frame every 2 minutes.

First, check to see if the software that came with the camera works. Can you see yourself in whatever kind of monitor program came with the camera? If not, then there is most likely something wrong with the camera installation. Check the Windows Device Manager to see if there is a problem with the camera. If so, try un-installing the camera and re-installing it again (if the software asks to reboot your computer, unplug the camera before rebooting). Another possible problem is that only one program can access the camera at the same time. (Unless you have special software like WebCam Splitter) If you can see yourself with the software that comes with the camera, and your messenger program reports it can't access, find or use the camera, then the most likely problem is that other software has control of the camera. Make sure that the software that came with the camera is not using the camera. Close down the camera software, (usually right clicking on the task bar tray camera icon will give you an exit option) and try your messenger again.
