Thank you for your inquiry. Yes, the Zoom Q2HD can be used as a webcam via USB connection to your computer.

No it can't. When connected to the USB, the device can't be used at all. It just mounts itself as a storage device.

Yes, I am doing that exact thing every week for a internet meeting. very easy to do. screen on the camera pops up showing webcam option when plugged in. just click.

Thanks, George. I read the description that says the camera is compatible with Mac, but I wanted to know whether the webcam can override the built-in camera.

I have used PC to set up the camera. Not sure about Mac. It should be OK with Mac. Once it has been set up, my Mac can connect with the camera with no problem.

As long as you have open usb ports and you are using the Windows operating system. You may be able to use it with a MAC as well but I haven't tried it yet to verify the drivers work.

I assume it would be because you plug it in with a USB connection, however you do need a driver for it in order to change colors which might not be mac compatible. You should still be able to just plug it in and it should just work for the mac.

Hi,Thank you for emailing me. This camera system is designed to hook up to a RCA plug, like a VCR, or a TV. If your Mac has RCA jacks, you should be able to hook this device up to it, but you would need to find compatible software. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks.Regards,Andrew SchearerOperations Manager"Like" us at facebook.com/reforgerdirect

Hi! Happy Mac user here - and YES - you can connect it to your Mac via USB. If you want to use the USB port to power the scanner (totally do-able!) then close iPhoto while you scan. If your settings are set to auto-recognize any camera connected, iPhoto will attempt to access the scanner, however you can't use it "live" (with the Mac as a preview screen) but it makes importing quick and easy from the SD card.

I wouldnt see why not- it merely shows up as a storage device. It comes with software as well, for drivers, ect. to use it as a webcam. For the price, it's quite an incredible camera. I have taken video on my bike at some interesting speeds, and the quality for such a little, inexpensive camera, is amazing!

the other issue to notice is that the webcam is not compatible with OSX. I made the mistake of not checking that until it was too late. I'm not a computer expert, but with so many products compatible for both windows and OSX, how does a company like ASUS overlook this need? Crazy.

Yes. It's nothing more than a USB mass storage device with a camera. It will work like any webcam would, and it will work like any USB storage device would. I wouldn't expect super quality and focus tho.

Yes you can use with a MAC but, this is a low end camera with bad video. You are better off getting a higher end camera.

Yes. It works with my Mac Mini. The Webcam hooks up separately via a USB cable.

as long as the mac device has a usb option. what kind of device are you trying to use it for?

Yes it can be hooked up via the webcam ( http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006KMQ434 ). The one I purchased with this is a 5Megapixel camera that works very well to capture stills and film video. Also compatible with Mac OSX Mountain Lion to boot.

Hi J Dodich, You can use Firewire, please to make sure your Mac also support this connection. Dave

I do not have that setup (MBP). I have PC, and a web camera attached to the USB port of the monitor, and it works. At least one USB Should connect to the monitor to the MBP. I think it will work. By the way, the monitor is just great.

Actually, you may be in luck. Check this out, it's a nice list of PC webcams and the drivers necessary for them to work on a mac:http://www.ecamm.com/mac/ichatusbcam/configs.html"Logitech QuickCam Communicate STX - requires special pre-release macam driver."Found here: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=44375&package;_id=176091&rele;ase_id=434750
