can this also act as a webcam?

I've never tried to do that. but I don't think so. When plugged in it is listed a mass storage device. Never seen that option before.

Yes you can, there is built in web server but i strongly advise you get some software and set up external to camera.

Hi Thanh V, no it can't be used as a webcam. The camera does not have the capability to stream via USB. Thanks_Mitch

No, it will just record with a touch of the button. This is not good for a webcam. Foscam makes a great webcam.

I really don't think so... there seems to be a tiny bit of development going on for that, but Android really doesn't come with any kind of drivers to support webcams. I tried this myself and could not get anything to work.

I suppose you could though I'm not sure as to how good the quality would be. Utilizing the software video capture as a primary monitor may also have a delay with input if that would matter to you.

Sorry, this machine is used by my partner who uses it to watch movies/videos and a little web browsing. I have not used the machine myself and was not aware that it had a webcam - will have to take a look. Sorry I can't help.

Yes, it works well. The webcam however is not the greatest, nor the volume but works.

It can. The functions are separated physically and the computer sees them as different devices so you can software select to use the camera from this system and the microphone (wireless or not) from another system or standalone device.

I can't imagine why not. It's just a "regular" ethernet device. (FWIW, I'm _very_ happy with the camera.)

Nor sure about the webcam but...I returned the unit because out of the box it would not charge the battery

I use it as a webcam while it is charging. You may have to download drivers. Mine is running on standard windows drivers.

Not that I am aware of. You can switch from video to camera, but can't switch back without plugging it in to a computer.

Yes. (I'm pretty sure this is true of all webcams, but I haven't tried all webcams.)

From my research it looks like this only take still shots and cannot be used as a webcam. I hope this helps. Thanks for looking.

It worked extremely well for a fancy digital pressure gauge with custom software, so I'd guess it'll be fine for a webcam.

It will allow you to do that, but I was very disappointed with it and send it back. Kept disconneting itself. I just bought a cable on a usb to go from camera to computer and it takes no time at all! You will not be happy with this device.
