Does anyone have this camera working on a PC? Neither "driverless" or with the Macally icecam driver seems to work.

I installed it on my desktop a couple of years ago, it has Windows XP. Worked fine right out of the box. No adjustments necessary. I use it for Skype.

Most likely yours is defective then, we had tested in on Win7 & 8 without problem

It's been a while but maybe I used the camera's format function. I am using it regularly, so it does work! Did I format with PC? Don't remember. If still an issue I'd try SCT support but should be easier than that.

Nate...thank you for the post. I had just purchased this webcam and was getting ready to try to cancel the order...so thank you. Oh, do you have any experience with this webcam and Windows Vista and Skype?Thanks again,Charlie

Yes, on a macbook pro retina, running OSX 10.9.2, no problems. I used a simple cam app called DwayneCam that allowed me to chose the video source, although more sophisticated apps are also likely to work. No drivers necessary (I love Macs).

I'm using a Windows P.C. Not sure about using a Mac. I would contact Canon for more details. The software (Pixela) that came with my videocam does require only Windows OS to operate.

After charging and pressing the power button, you should see and able to record. Try the car D/C adapter. If that doesn't work, then there is something wrong with the unit. One more thing, these cams are very sensitive to extreme temperature, cold or hot. Also, do you have a micro memory card in? If not, the unit won't work. Hope this help.

Mine worked right out of the box... Not using MAC however... Try it on another device - pc or tablet. Will eliminate either the device or MAC. Did have to messs with the PC volumne control though...

Forget it, they dropped support a long time ago. I sold it as soon as I found out there would be no new driver for Mac. I think the latest one works with Leopard or something.

Of course! This is a UVC camera; thus, no drivers are required for OS X. Gary Lee knows not of which he speaks.

I have the same problem and it can be resolved by connecting the camcorder to the computer using usb. It will enable more features including video (AVCHD). It works both on XP and Windows 7 x64.

I was able to use it as a webcam a couple of times after I bought, but not any more. Probably a Windows update rendered the software incompatible and Sanyo hasn't bothered to release an update. There certainly is nothing on their website. At least I'd like an explanation.

I'm not sure I never got mine to work. Wish I was more help. the camera may be ok but they sent it with third party software that didn't work. I googled for an answer and found lots of issues with the same problem and other people. I downloaded it from the mfg site and installed it. Still didn't work and after investigation it is a cloud type software that I felt was a security risk. I would buy from a reputable company.

I am wondering the same now.. No wonder I have never been able to get it to work on my computer. Lately can't get my camera to even recognize the card. I had to go purchase a new card

I can confirm that it works for my Mac. Mac Mini 2009, OSx 10.8. Plugged in, didn't work at first. Rebooted and then it worked. It doesn't seem to have a driver, but I tried with Photobooth and their MicroCapture software and they both seem to work.

Thanks! This looks great for the Mac, but a PC version (or parallel) would be great. Basically I'm looking for a timed way for a camera to come on a specific hour, and record until another hour, and then rotate the video files. Thoughts?

Not sure of your problem. I have a mac and win 7 and it works. Instead of using the cam and the USB cord, try using the SD card directly into the computer.

I use a great free program called "iSpy". I have 2 pairs of different branded cameras working on iSpy at the same time. From what I understand, you can have many more than that. The list of cameras this software supports is huge. I'd say you'd have a hard time finding a camera not supported. It does take a little reading to understand, but there are a ton of youtube and other help guides out there. Once you get it set up and running, I'd also recommend Google Chrome's new Remote Desktop. I use this to check on the camera's/house when I'm away from home on my phone. I used to use TeamViewer, but Chrome Remote Desktop has been a much better experience. All of this software is free and iSpy is CONSTANTLY being improved upon and updated. The team of people working on iSpy are some truly talented people.
