Does the speed of the computer affect the quality of the picture or is it all dependent on the internet speed?

It's both, the computer processor and video card memory needs to process the quality of the image coming through the computer. The internet speed will allow what it can to come through.

In my experience, probably not. I've tried watching Hulu on a 21" external monitor, and the image is only ever jumpy and freezy all the time. I don't think it's my internet connection, because I do not have the same problem when I hook up a computer with a more powerful graphics card. I just don't think the graphics card in this computer is designed to handle high resolution on a large screen.

I believe that the software will check and complain but it will still work. You'll get a list that will show the features that will not work using the slower speed. I think you might lose some higher end HD recording features. You'll also see noticeable lag during playback. You'll probably be able to record in 720p, but not 100% sure.

I don't know, I use it more or less as I digital photo frame. So I haven't considered response time but I don't think it will matter. The viewing angle is not as good as standard computer screens from for instance Samsung and Eizo, I think that is the biggest difference I have noticed. The advantage is that it doesn't need external power.

Sorry, I use a pc. All I can tell you is the picture quality is outstanding...

Yes, marginally. While your computers speed will increase overall joekerr1 is right streaming capability is more dependent on network infrastructure

Yes, as long as you have good bandwidth speed. I had 2.5 Mbps download speed and .44 upload and the images were grainy. When I got the speed up to 12 Mbps download and .8 upload they were great. It also helps if you have this device near the modem/router so the wireless signal is strong.

Correct, you will get a scaled image at the lower native resolution. Fine for most video, but it will definitely make pixel-perfect images like overlays and in-camera peaking blurry.

image is color when there is enough light in the room - black and white when in infrared/night mode. image is good ..... but I've had problems with the monitor .... twice .... and have given up on the system. I went to a pure internet based system by dlink and have yet to have any issues

The picture is moderately smoother while using frame interpolation... Unfortunately because of the unwanted flaws/side effects the Darbee creates while enhancing an image, it will still show general roughness, jaggies and blocking as a direct result of the Darbee over-sharpening the image.

I have had absolutely no program with picture quality. I can only think of rechecking all of your connections. Wish I knew more but I am the original electronic idiot!!

I don't see why not, gaming picture is no different than a Youtube video. The issue is more with latency, whether or not your 'device' can push enough pixels to the monitor to form your picture in time with your controller input. In the case of a smartphone, pushing video from a 1080p (1920x1080) device to a monitor with a smaller resolution would help fight the latency. Really depends on the power of your hardware.

You can see real-time images on the computer but the refresh rate is slow. The usb camera on the microscope was a little disappointing as it was more like seeing an image from a web cam back in the early 2000's so any movement is blurred if it shows up at all. The microscope itself has been great but I am looking at ways to install a new digital camera as the one that came installed is not worth the money.

Not really. That's mostly if not entirely the fault of your internet provider. Most internet providers brag about their DOWNLOAD speed without mentioning the upload speed. Frequently you can get something ridiculous like 15 Mbps download but only 1 Mbps upload or even worse. Most internet providers are very stingy on upload speeds. So yeah, most everyone suffers when trying to upload large files. It's nothing to do with the camera, really. It will go faster if you reduce the quality or size of the video, but that's not the greatest answer either (the whole point of an HD camera was having videos that didn't suck!)

Jose answered the first question correctly. As far as the second goes I didn't notice any degradation in the video quality. I'm sure there might be an extremely slight bit but it wasn't enough for my untrained unprofessional eye to notice.

I replaced this with a graphics card with much less RAM (256mb), which made it faster. It depends on what software you are using on whether the increased speed allows for a better graphics setting.

I guess for different scenes, the compression ratio is different. A smooth scene needs less GBs then a busy one.
