USING WITH WINDOWS
View camera on Windows 10
Windows 10 users can use the Camera app, which is already installed with the
OS. This will allow you to preview the camera image, capture still frames and
video clips.
If you need to use the camera with other applications, you will need to enable
the camera in the Windows security settings.
- To begin, select the Start button, and then select Camera in the list of apps, or type “camera” in the search bar.
- If you want to use the camera within other apps, select the Start button, select Settings > Privacy> Camera, and then turn on Let apps use my camera.
- From there, turn on each of the listed apps where you want to use the camera.
After you open the Camera app, you may need to switch to the Full HD Camera. To switch from one to another:
- Select Start> Camera> Change camera
When you can see an image from the camera:
- Select Photo or Video and take a picture or make a video.
- To see your new photo or video, or ones you have taken before, select Start > Photos and then choose the Collection you want to see.
USING WITH MAC OS
View camera on MacOS
MacOS users can use the Photo Booth app, which is already installed with the
OS. This will allow you to preview the camera images, capture still frames and
video clips.
Note: While Photo Booth can be used to quickly preview the camera image,
higher-quality videos using the full camera resolution should be created in
iMovie or QuickTime, since Photo Booth does not use the full camera image.
As in Windows, you may need to allow apps installed on your computer to access
the camera in the MacOS security settings:
- Select the Finder button, click Applications, and start Photo Booth.
If you want to use the camera within other apps, you will need to enable access in the MacOS Security & Privacy settings:
- Go to the Apple menu in the top left corner of the screen and select System Preferences
- Go to the Security & Privacy preference panel.
- Select the Privacy tab then choose Camera from the left side list.
- Locate the app(s) you want to enable camera access for and check the box alongside that app name to enable camera access for that application.
To see an image from the camera in Photo Booth, you may need to select the camera from the list of attached devices in the app.
- At the top of your screen, click Camera in the app menu, and select the Full HD camera from the list of options.
When you can see an image from the camera:
- To capture images from the camera, click the red Camera icon.
- To switch to video mode, click the film strip icon in the bottom left corner of the app. The red camera icon will change to a Video icon at which point you will be able to record video.
Capture HD Video with QuickTime Player
QuickTime on MacOS offers a method for easily creating video recordings that
use the full camera resolution.
- To begin, select the Finder button, click Applications, and start QuickTime Player.
- After QuickTime launches, click File> New Movie Recording.
- To select the camera input, click the small downward-facing arrow next to the Record button
- Click the Record button to capture the video.
