Does it work as a webcam when connected to a PC via USB?

No, it will just record with a touch of the button. This is not good for a webcam. Foscam makes a great webcam.

Yes. It records video and downloads directly to your PC via a USB cable. You will need a micro SD card to store the video or it will not work.

it does have a webcam. but it has a couple of usb ports. but they are diff size. all I did was buy a $5 usb connecter, with extra usb ports. its a great laptop for the price. im very happy with it.

I have XP on my computer and the web cam works fine. Try using a different USB port I did have to switch mine around when I first hooked it up

Yes. It's nothing more than a USB mass storage device with a camera. It will work like any webcam would, and it will work like any USB storage device would. I wouldn't expect super quality and focus tho.

Greetings yes PC laptop has three USB ports all work well. No webcam and no Mic, XP not included Windows Seven CD and DVD yes, slow. My laptop is used in my medical lab only to drive Medical device with database. Works very well for me. I had to order a new battery. Battery in laptop would not hold a charge. Other than that issue, this PC is perfect.

The Vixias are NOT usable as Webcams. USB is for transferring already-recorded files.

This document cam will plug into a computer through the USB port. I also have the computer set up to a projector. Camera to computer to projector. ; ) hope this helps

This actually just plugs right into your laptop like a USB. The only thing that I was unaware of was the CAM didn't pick up sound it's just a WEBCAM. But my other laptop it worked just fine on but it was pointless because that already had a built on CAM.

No it does not, it has a HDMI input thats it. The USB is for power only, not an input.

I plugged in this webcam and it worked without any fuss over drivers. I'm running Windows 8.

Yes, if the webcam has an USB output it functions perfectly. To be exact the USB specification guarantees transmission up to 16 feet without extenders. With extenders you can reach up to 50 feet. Above that only with Ethernet/USB extenders.

That's not a question, but in order for the webcam to work you must connect the USB cable from your computer to the monitor. It's still not certain that it's a problem with the monitor, computer or PEBCAC.

I have not specifically used it with a webcam, but i do use it with a Motorola wireless bar code scanner and it is flawless. when i originally routed a regular USB extension the signal was seriously degraded but after purchasing the extender everything worked perfect.
