Setting Up Your Webcam
2.1 For Mac OS X Users
The FC270 will be automatically installed when you connect it to a Mac; no
additional software is required. You will need to open camera software such as
Quick Time, Photo Booth, Skype or FaceTime to start streaming the video. Quick
Time and Photo Booth are preinstalled on all Macs as standard. To check if the
webcam is detected or not, you may click the Apple Menu (in the top left
corner of your screen) and then click About this Mac. Click on System Report
from the pop-up window that appears. The System Information window for your
Mac will appear. Navigate to the USB Section and check to see if the webcam is
listed as a connected device (Show as “FC270”, like the photo below).
2.1.1 Photo Booth
Your system should automatically detect the Webcam in the Photo Booth if it
has no internal camera of its own. In rare cases where it does not, please try
disconnecting the camera and reconnecting it once Photo Booth is already
running, or you may try to restart your Mac.
If your Mac has a built-in camera already, you may open Photo Booth, chick the
Camera on the top left of your screen, and choose the “FC270 ” to use this
webcam.
2.1.2 Face Time
So long as the Mac being used meets Apple’s guidelines for running Face Time
(having either OS X v10.5 installed or, on a small number of models, a built-
in ISight camera on OS X v10.4), simply follow the installation instructions
for Macs. Your system should automatically detect the Webcam in FaceTime. If
your Mac has a built-in camera already, you may open FaceTime, chick Video on
the top left of your screen, and choose the “FC270” to use this webcam.
2.1.3 Skype
Before running Skype, make sure that any other applications that are using the
webcam are fully closed. Failure to do so will mean that Skype may not
recognize the webcam. It is highly recommended to update your Skype to the
latest version. Once you have installed Skype and started it up, select
Preferences… from the Skype menu in the top left corner of your screen
In the Audio/ Video tab , Select”FC270″ in the Microphone dropdown menu ,
select “FC270” in the Camera dropdown menu . We recommend the users uncheck
the box below the Microphone dropdown menu marked Automatically adjust
microphone setting. This option, when checked, can sometimes cause sound
interruptions during voice calls. Initially, it is best to set the volume
slider a little less than halfway along the bar. You can adjust this later to
suit your preferences. Remember to save your changes before closing the
window.
Note: Do not use a USB HUB for power supply to prevent failure in using
the Webcam.
2.1.4 Setting up audio
Please make sure that the FC270 webcam is selected as the input device in the
application you are using to access this feature. You can also select it in
Mac’s System Preferences choose the Sound pane and go to the Input tab to
designate the webcam’s microphone (“FC270”) as your system default. You can
manually adjust the Input volume of the webcam as you prefer.
2.2 For Window Users
The FC270 Webcam is compatible with most Windows operating systems included:
Windows Vista / 2000 / XP / Vista /7 /8/8.1/10.
2.2.1 Setting up the microphone (Win 7 / 8 / 8.1 / 10 &Vista)
- Open your Control Panel from the Start menu and select the Hardware and Sound panel.
- In the Sound menu, click Manage Audio Devices, and then the Recording tab along the top of the settings windows which appears.
- Make sure that “FC270” is selected as the default device under Recording, and then click OK to save your changes.
- If the microphone is too quiet or too loud, you can adjust it with the Properties ( Levels ) setting in the same Recording panel.
You may also need to set up the default device for the individual applications you use.
