Can this camera be used as a webcam? I would like to know if I could use this camera as a webcam?

No, it does not have the ability to live stream and once connected to the computer you lose the ability to record. I asked them before

sorry it took me so long to get back to you...I think it has video/camera, so I dont see why not. you'd have to download the "Skype" app. but you should be able to use it..

I use it as a webcam while it is charging. You may have to download drivers. Mine is running on standard windows drivers.

Haven't used it as a Webcam but it only has one record function and that is audio and video. It works well for what it is! a simple Video recorder.

The magnification, focus and lighting is manually dialed in, so most any webcam software can be used for the purposes of just viewing. And they do provide viewing software free with the digital microscope, which actually seemed to work better than any of the free webcam software I could find (and it listens to the "take picture" button).

I tried something much like this, and it didn't work. I think there are timing issues. If you want a remote webcam, you may have to go to one that is wifi-enabled.

I guess you culd use it in a pinch for a quick pic of something. it wouldn't be scan quallity. I would suggest an inexpensive printer/scanner like te Epson 300 you culd hook to your laptop. if you're travelling light then this might not be workable. Maybe one of thse hand held scanner would work for you? I can't recommend this webcam for scanning purposes.

Yes, it has a webcam; however, we had some kind of issue with it not working, but we were able to fix it with some kind of file thing. You might not have that problem, though. You can take pictures or use the video camera.

Yes, you can but you have to check "user manual" which comes with camera and follow instructions and pictures. Is not that intuitive but can be done.

Not without a really long USB cable. This is NOT a wireless camera... it is a USB WebCam. Hope this helps.

It appears that this is a software issue and not a hardware issue. Without knowing what webcam program you are using it is impossible to determine a solution.

yes, it can be used like a regular digital camera. In fact, sometimes it takes better pictures than my DSLR. It has many different settings/filters such as for sports, sunsets, HDR, etc

No, that's a point and shoot camera. You'll need something like a Nikon d3100 or d5200 to use this.

No, this laptop doesn't have a webcam, but with all the usb ports available, you could purchase an inexpensive portable webcam and that would work just as well.

If you mean to set up the details of how the camera works? YES. Im a little technical and this camera is not a simple plug and play. I have yet to figure out how to get it to work on wi-fi so I have it plugged into ethernet and still have some kinks to work out. The quality of the day/night viewing is amazing and it basically works as a IP Camera. I think im going to buy some different software as I cant seem to get the record to work well.

Yes the camera is capable of being used for recording, however the WANSCAM software that is included can not. I am using iSpy64 which has a lot of recording features (opensource software at ispyconnect.com)

The short answer is no. The software that comes with the camera which is used to take pictures will only work on a PC. Still, this camera looks just like a webcam to a computer and you can probably get it to work with some other software. I have used mine with HandyAVI (which is also for the PC).
