I am sorry I cannot help with your question. It is a work computer for storing machine programming. We do not use the camera function.

I had this camera and it doesn't take photos. You'd need to look at much newer models for video recording.

This is a Microsoft brand videocam so it works seamlessly in Windows. It comes with no software but the moment it is connected. You can use the native Microsoft Moviemake which is installed automatically with window to both record and then edit the video. Any software that needs a videocam such as Skype will also intantly make it a part of its video selection.

The webcam does have a built-in microphone, but I've never been able to get it to work. I've only tried it once when I first got the computer, but since I never use the webcam or the microphone it wasn't a big deal to me that it didn't work. I will say this is one of the best computers I have ever owned, and I would be happy to purchase it again.

Hi effie, no, it can't be used as a webcam. The camcorder does not have the live streaming feature which would enable live streaming online. Thanks_Mitch

Yes you can. You need microphone installed or you need a camera which has audio recording feature.

Yes, you can connect a webcam for Skype. However, we have experienced some connectivity issues with some newer/ high end webcams.

There are microphones in each camera. So you can not only record audio with the video, but login with a smart device and hear live audio on each camera.

the cameras only broadcast the video, it is the software and what you view it on that records, but you can record...Foscam dose make a similar camera that takes and SD card and records on the card. that might be and easier install for what you would like to use the camera for...

If you want to record you will need to connect the camera to a DVR (Digital video recorder) or something similar otherwise it is just live video connected to a monitor.

I have been able to use mine like a webcam by plugging it in then holding the button. Device manager sees it as a GVD and it works with skype.

I never used the camera for video. As to your second question, the camera only runs on batteries, and the batteries cannot be recharged in camera.

There's a setting in the software when you open the WebCam to allow you to use your mic instead of the installed mic with WebCam. The built in mic does work ok but your mic may be stronger.
