AirBeam is a paid app and it works really well for what you're describing. I've used it and can recommend. IDevices can be a cam or a monitor and you can view over Wifi or 3G/LTE. And of course OS X seamlessly blends in as a cam or monitor. For example, place iPad in the location you want to monitor and Airbeam keeps the screen black and password protected, while you view from another location via macbook.

Message was edited by: EZ Jim. Hiya, I got a Logitech C920 to use with my Macbook air (2014) with a view to making stop motion animations with my son. It's kind of compatible but it's not the best supported Logitech webcam for Macs. The previous version (C910) is more compatible with the Mac and Logitech provide more support for this model rather than the C920 - I seem to have a knack for choosing gadgets which are not quite right for me. There's a list of Logitech webcams and compatibility levels on their website: There's a Logitech driver app which does give some additional functionality available in the app store and there's a 3rd party app from Mactaris called 'Webcam Settings' which does unlock all the features available on the C920.

This monitor works very well with my Mac Mini, including the webcam and mic. I have a mac Mini (mid 2007) and got this screen because it matches really well with the Apple looks. 1-16 of 252 results for 'mac mini webcam' AUSDOM Webcam 1080P, Full HD Web Cam PC Computer USB Mini Camera with Microphone for Laptop Desktop Notebook, Skype Facetime Online Chatting Webcams Plug and Play for Windows XP/7/8/10 & Mac OS 10.6. £29.99 Prime.

The Apple computer user most likely to buy a 3rd party external webcam is the Apple Mac mini user, followed by a Mac Cylinder or Pro tower owner. These are the only two computer systems that Apple sells which don't include a webcam or even a built-in microphone for that matter. As such, a quality, external Mac compatible webcam with mic is a smart buying choice for those desktop Mac owners who want to kill two birds with one stone. The vast majority of web cameras sold these days already feature a built-in microphone, so finding one isn't hard. But a few don't such as the Microsoft Xbox Cam, The Cubie or iMage from eCamm, and a few others. Some of the higher end HD cameras for Mac include dual or stereo microphones on each side of the webcam's lens.

Modern high-resolution UVC cams simply WILL NOT WORK on old 800mhz or less Macs, who's slow and incompatible USB 1.x speed ports are FOURTY times slower that USB 2.0. Those that claim to be USB 1.1 compatible in their Specification listings may have utterly abysmal frame-rates on USB 1.x or show NO image at all, even though Apple's System Profiler may recognize the camera exists on the USB 1.1 bus. Otherwise you're left dinking around with any of hundreds of old, discontinued webcams made for Windows and fiddling with Macam or IOXperts drivers hoping for a combination that will work. You CAN still find decent, used Apple iSight cams at Amazon or find a deal on an iSight on eBay. Why Apple stopped manufacturing their very high-quality 1394 FireWire auto-focus web camera is beyond logic. 1394 is better than USB for video conferencing and chat in many technical aspects: External FireWire webcam compatibility with iMovie, less CPU overhead, higher frame-rates and avoids USB device contention slugging it out on a USB hub. USB cameras aren't the only options to provide Macintosh users with high quality choices to chat and videoconference using popular Mac OSX applications like FaceTime, iChat AV, Yahoo Messenger, Apple Messages, Skype, ISPQ VideoChat.

It's very peculiar it's probably small fix. I really hope the developers make note of the same changes and they quickly released patch. I'm quite disappointed as well with people who have given this app bad reviews based on their inability to figure out how port forwarding works or even in some cases what the URL is supposed to be for the WebCam when the WebCam URL is clearly there on screen. Please read the documentation. Zuluflyer Works great yep, no sound, yep you gotta lock the rotate button when viewing on an iOS device, yep you gotta adjust video quality to increase size of image--but hey the high quality setting provides an excellent quality image and the medium setting works fine. I see no reason why this app would not be worth money if it had audio. Gives you a URL you can copy and paste to share, and is viewable Safari.

The autofocus is, similarly, set for something at about arms length, and other distances will be out of focus. Bottom line being that you're paying for features that won't work for you. That said, the Pro Mac is very expensive, and since a $30 camera doesn't have any of those fancier features anyway, it's probably just fine. The one question is whether it will do light level adjustment on its own (or even if it CAN do that--I think some don't), but if you never use it at midday with the blinds open in a bright room, it's probably not an issue.

Boy, it sure is difficult to actually get an answer to this question. Lots of conflicting info regarding the c615 and c920 Logitechs. Because of the way google charges now for placement, no matter what I put in to search, I get the same top ten pages and then nothing.

There are already webcam apps, which post pictures onto the web to make them viewable, but direct broadcasting is preferred solution.

This is app 'just works' and that is its beauty! 5 stars when audio is available. But I don't need audio for a security cam.

Moreover, the add-on costs $19, which pulls the whole deal out of any interest. Don't take it too much serious, but provided you own an iPhone, you do have a $.99 camera for any chat system right out of here. • Configure your WiFi router, if it's not the case already, • Put your iPhone on that WiFi network, • Don't forget to configure port forwarding, • Buy Wireless Camera app at $.99, • Configure that app, choose the port you wish it would broadcast through, • Start capture and point your iPhone at what you choose to show, • Provide your buddy with the URL of your router; he will watch what your iPhone will capture.

I saw that, but was wondering what people here actually use. I'm more interested in iMovie and FaceTime comparability, Final Cut Pro is secondary.Well, researching I found this: WEBCAMS FOR OBSOLETE MACS? OSX 10.2 or OSX 10.3 PANTHER? Think FireWire instead.
