Setting Up Your Webcam
For Mac OS X Users
The HD Webcam FC270S 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 “FC270S” like the photo below).
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 “FC270S” to use this
webcam. (like the photo below ).
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 Face Time, chick Video
on the top left of your screen, and choose the “FC270S” to use this
webcam(like the photo below ).
Skype
Before running the 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 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“FC270S” in the Microphone dropdown menu, and
select “FC270S” 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.
Setting up audio
Please make sure that the FC270S 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 (“FC270S”) as your
system default. You can manually adjust the Input volume of the webcam as you
prefer.
