Can you attach a HD web cam for group viewing on a tablet or camera with the included accessories or do I need to purchase something in addition?

You can attach cameras. There are universal digital camera adapters, not sure a web cam will fit. You will likely be disappointed with a live view through a camera. Things other than the moon and planets likely will not show at all. The Mount is not very sturdy, as has been mentioned in many reviews, so long term exposures are probably not realistic option.

I am in the process of trying to figure out the answer to your question. I have a 10 inch scope and I want to use my phone. I can not provide you a definitive answer. Your best bet would be to contact Celestron. I have found their support to be very helpful. Good luck

I haven't tried any of the HD cams on this telescope but you have couple of choices that might work. They'll work with a laptop but how would these connect to a tablet.You can find them here on Amazon for cheaper than listed price below.1. Orion StarShoot USB Eyepiece Camera II (Black) $59.992. Celestron NexImage 5 MP $199.993. Orion 52175 StarShoot Solar System Color Imaging Camera IV $99.99The other option is to mount your existing camera on the telescope with Celestron 93626 Universal Digital Camera Adapter.

I am sure you can attach a HD web cam. Personally, I held the flip HD video recorder by hand and then posted the video on youtube. But you will have to be careful, because of the magnification even a small handshake causes a lot of effect on the video. Ideally you can purchase the celestron camera attachment unit which can hold camera's not sure about a web cam. However one issue I had with the camera mount unit is that it was heavy enough to tilt the telescope. You will need to adjust your balance weights.

I use the YCam app and it works fine for me for sound and live video. I think there are several others that work with it as well, maybe some others can chime in too

Also, I see some folks saying that third party software is required...this is not true. The webpage built into the camera allows you to record to the local computer that the webpage is brought up on...ok so no, you don't need another software, unless you want to record as a DVR or NVR, meaning the webpage doesn't have to be up, but the DVR/NVR application has to be running.

Yes, you can load a Q-See app and view cameras from any device, which supports that app

The Webcam has micro included, if it is supported by the OS (and it should), no problem with that :)

Internet service can be used with the camera. Large amounts of video can be recorded and, if needed, downloaded to the computerhttp://www.tenm3.com/blogs/?p=176

Hi, My particular Acer has a fairly low-resolution webcam built-in, but has more than enough power to use a seperately purchased USB webcam for around $20-$40 from Amazon. Look for one around 1.2 or 3 Megapixels - this will run it fine.

The easiest way is to store the video and pictures on a removable SD memory card and insert the card into the appropriate slot in your computer. There is also a USB output built into the HD Max that should allow a direct connection to a computer. When using the cord (which I have not tried), the Trophy Cam probably needs to be powered on. I personally always have used the memory card.

Yes and No. The Veho has an HDMI interface. Even if your computer has an HDMI port, that port would only be an output, and the Veho would require an input, which most computers made today do not have. You could purchase an HDMI capture device that the Camcorder would plug into, but they are expensive. So, yes you could use it for a webcam by spending more money, but there are $40 HD webcams that would be far better suited for this purpose and they are USB plug and play. The Veho also has RCA A/V out if I remember correctly. Through the use of a USB/RCA capture device, like the Pinnacle Dazzle for example, you could use the Veho as a live webcam , but again, such devices are $40-$80 and are not easy to use. A cheap HD webcam would give you better footage for less money. If you are going to purchase the Veho just to use it for a webcam, there are way better options for you out there, and cheaper too!

Yes, it can be connected to the webcam( not included in the package) and the popular apps from Google play is available. Thanks.

yes and yes. Download the owners manual from Canon's website and see the sections that apply. They describe the procedure in detail. Both USB and HDMI cables are included with the camcorder. You can also connect to your PC via WIFI.

Yes. The tablet is a gem. It supports the videos through an app in Google Play.

Yes on both accounts. The built in DynDNS client gives you a web URL you can point any browser to to view the cam. You can also directly access the video feed using IP cam apps such as "IP Cam Viewer" and "TinyCam Monitor".

Yes an external webcam is required. I have not tried it yet, but when attempted to start Skype it asked for webcam + mic

It just comes with the web server that is onboard. You will either need to purchase the license for the full software from Dahua or use a third party application, if you need to view multi-cameras at one time. The free ipad app works really well as a multi-view monitor.
