Can this be used as a FaceTime camera without any physical connection to the mac?

This is a wireless camera that runs off of a broadcaster app. It does not need to be physically connected to a computer at all. We walk around our shelter and do daily tours of our shelter every day with the camera.

No, unless you put your mac on top of your camera equipment which I would not do.

I'm not sure. I have it plugged into a wifi camera which works just fine. There was nothing to set up. Just plug and play is what I did. Apple tends to like to complicate things, but I don't see why it wouldn't work since it's just and not a program. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

The Apple Macbook Air has a camera built into the top center of the Bezel that goes around the LCD display. It is perfectly located for Facetime or other video chat softwares.

Yes, but you will have to set it up using the web interface. The trick is that that the camera has a default IP address that you have to accommodate and use the provided Ethernet cable.What I have done in the past is connect the camera directly to the Ethernet connector on my Mac (or the USB to Ethernet adapter), manually set the address if the Mac to be in the same subnet as the default IP address if the camera. You can then use your web browser on your Mac to connect to that address.The specifics of default IP address are provided in the included documentation.

Absolutely not if you are MAC user...not by yourself. However, I agree that there is good support by phone and you don't have to be savvy if you allow support to gain remote access to your computer. The reason that it is so difficult seems to be that the information, downloads and plug-ins are not organized for MAC. In my opinion, once the cameras are recognized by my computer/router and I try and follow through, it should not be directing me to "first install plug-ins before proceeding" and provide links that ONLY WORK FOR PC. This kind of thing keeps happening with Foscam. I got a great price for both of mine and I think it will work out soon though. Absolutely not if you are MAC user...not by yourself.

You can use it with any Mac over Leopard. Just plug it in and select it under "camera" in photobooth. I'm sure you can use another app but photobooth was simple and quick.

Yes, you can. The optional Logitech software that comes with it doesn't run on a mac, but the macs do recognize the hardware.

Sorry, I don't have a macbook, as i just have the one iMac which relays or displays pictures from my Fuji HS50 exr

Yeah as long as your mac has USB, no problems at all. The software that comes with it, won't work. But software that comes with cameras is usually useless anyway

I've only had the camera a couple of days but it seems to work fine with my Mac when connecting using a 4-pin to 6-pin Firewire cable. I haven't done any exhaustive testing but I've been able to connect and get video into iMovie and Final Cut Express. So so far, so good.

Yes, you can connect locallyBest way is to call Foscam customer support and they will help you set it up however you like

Just tried it on my iPad with Facetime (video and voice-only) and it worked great.I assume it will work with other applications such as Skype as well.

This can't be connected directly to your Mac. It is only accessible on the network via Ethernet or WiFi (a/b/g/n/ac). That said, it is pretty fast for what it is, but if you're looking for an external drive specifically for photo work, you might want something that connects directly via USB 3 or thunderbolt.

As long as you have software on the iMac that will capture from the thunderbolt port you should be able to do this. We are using it on Mac Mini's to capture video from SDI and HDMI cameras.

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.

I have only transferred video fro the camera to a Windows PC and it was using the firewire cable. I guess there must exist some firewire adapter for the mac.
