HOW TO ADD A WEBCAM AND UPLOAD PICS

There are many inexpensive webcams around, and many of them will

do fine. Lately there are some really excellent ones, some in HD!

 

Try to get webcams that allow 640 x 480 or higher resolution and that use

a USB port are quite good. Currently, you should probably use one that

can use USB 2.0.

 

If you use a videocam, you must have one other ingredient - a video

capture card. This is easy if you have a vacant slot in your computer

and about $40. Get a WinGO TV card by Hauppauge at Circuit City/Best Buy

or any other vendor that sells it. The card (beside being able to receive

TV channels) has a video input, and a good driver that the camera

interfaces to. NOTE: Vista will not work with the WinGO card. You may

need to find a capture card that works with Vista.

 

I put the camera just right up to a window. You want to avoid shooting

through a screen, though.
