The camera uses a mini-USB to USB, and with supporting software, should webcam for you.

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

You'll also need a PC in the room/building. The camera by itself won't work.

Yes you can via USB using supplied software. As you can read in my initial review I did have issues establishing communication between PC and camera. Try different USB ports until the PC "sees" the camcorder.

I believe their is a cable that comes with the camera that you can connect to the computer. I'm sorry if I couldn't be more helpful but the camera I bought was for my daughter.

The camera can be hooked to a dvr card if one is installed on the computer. It can also be hooked up to a dvr security system.

No, it needs to be connected to a DVR receiver and has a specific monitor. Since it is not ip camera , it can't be connected to computer directly.

Only if your computer has an analog camera card installed. It is not compatible with anything other than a BNC/composite video input.

You can connect the camera directly to your computer and download pictures/videos with the included cord. I view any pictures from the camera on my computer and have found it quite easy.

No, it does not need to be hooked up to a computer. It works through your router and ip address. At home you would view it through a local ip address. Remotely you need to setup a dns page that will link to your dynamic ip. I use Dtdns. With router permissions most of it can be setup through the cameras admin page.

Hi Victor, Yes I am able to connect, view live and record videos from this camera on my computer but you will need a separate video adapter/cable and install software onto your PC. The camera doesn't come with those. If you buy the camera straight out, it comes with video cables that can be connected to a television or a computer with a video card that allows AV input. If you want specifics or technical details, you have to do some research.

No. This camera must be connected to a dvr. You may be looking for an ip camera.

If your PC has either analog or HDI inputs you can send a live picture to your computer. Some PCs do not hear the audio using an HDI cable. My computer has neither, so I record video to the SD card and then play back the video using a car reader.

Yes you can. You need a connector cord from your camera to the computer. The camera comes with Canon software to download the photos and videos.
