The console needs 5vdc and the cams use 12vdc. You would have to build power. No clue about mac use.

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.

Well I wasn't even aware it needed batteries. I no longer use this anyway since I have a Mac.

The camera itself does not use batteries to operate. You can take pictures without batteries. The camera is, however equipped with a light meter that uses a discontinued mercury battery. There are replacements and adaptors that can be used to replace the battery. I have taken great pictures without the light meter during the daytime. You can also purchase a light meter that can be operated manually.I bought a light meter for low-light situations, I have yet to use it though. I hope this helps. I hav

Yes, I have this camera and download the photos on my Apple Powerbook all the time. Canon always does a great job of supporting mac users with its bundeled software. If you have iPhoto (which comes with every mac) you don;t need tyo load the Canon software. When you plug the cmaera into the USB port, OS X will recognize it and open up iPhoto where you can import, edit, resize, etc, the photos.

No...the software is not Mac compatible. However the camera can be made to work with a Mac. I use Parallels or Bootcamp and run the included software on Windows on my Macbook Air.

No, AA batteries will not work. The camera comes with a battery pack and charger. Hope that helps!

Is this comparable to my mac? Does the camera come with anything like a wall charger? DO I have to purchase an Sd card for it or does one come with it?

Yes. The only thing that does not work on batteries is getting a live feed at anytime. The doorbell works fine and the camera.

I believe that the software that comes with the camera has a "MAC" option for installation. The image files that are produced by this camera work in the "MAC" platform.

It comes with a small disk that, I think only has microsoft windows programs. However, it may work if you plug it in and use a camera app on the Mac

Hi! It does work with a mac. You just have to go to the Canon website, and from there you can download all of the mac drivers and a whole mac manual comes with it on the website. I just installed it on my iBook and it works great!

This camera works fine with my new Mac (OS X) - it just recognizes the camera like any other.Also worth noting, I stuck in a 2GB SD card, and it's working fine so far - although the manual says not to use any larger than 1GB. Not sure what will happen when/if I store more than 1GB of photos on it, but I can keep that from happening.Changing the date on the camera is my priority now (searching for a way to do this lead me to this discussion). Any pointers?

Ann, the camera is a simple basic webcam, it plugs in through a USB port. We only have windows so I can not answer you on the Mac side. I will tell you my son who is 12 has enjoyed every minute using the book, software and the camera. It is a great deal. He carries the legos, camera, computer, and the book is a backpack to take to friends houses so they can make their stop motion videos.
