I loaded it into a new HP PC w/Windows 8. I did a Skype audio check &amp; the audio works. Any way I can check the video/cam before I need it?

You should have received a CD with the webcam that has software called "Live! Central". Install that if you haven't already. You can check out the what the video looks like with that software. In other words, what others will see/what you will look like to others. It also has some other features which allow you to manipulate the video in different ways. I'm a bit unclear on exactly what you're asking. So, if this doesn't answer your question let me know.

Pretty simple! Whatever it is you're using, you have to go into the sound settings and set it as the default sound output device. So for PC, go to the Control Panel, Sound, and pick it under the playback tab. Same goes for it not working with any other application like Skype. But changing it in the control panel should fix for most, if not all! Should be listed as "USB audio device" .

I would try a new Video in cable, if problem still exists check the hdmi cable. If not a cable problem, return it as the conversion chip may be bad.

I installed it without adding new software, I have video software already on the computer and import using that. My computer is a HP and it works fine.

It's a plugin and play BUT you need some software ~ if you're using skype you just have to set skype to use it in it's Options if you're using it for streams or recording you may want to look into Bandicam or Manycam Softwares

plugged my in and it automatically set itself up. I have Win 7 ultimate. My cam worked fine right from the start. Good luck

I haven't. I had to return it to Amazon as I could not get either the camera or the microphone to work. I have replaced it with another camera/microphone which works perfectly. I do not know if it was a defect in that particular unit or an incompatibility with my system software or hardware. My business is Data Processing consulting and I know a lot about the hardware and software on my PC and could not get it to work at all, so after many different trials, I gave up and purchased a similar but different unit and it worked the first time. No trouble at all.

When you plug in the camera Win 7 loaded the driver for me. It came up with a Microsoft Driver from 6/21/2006 ver. 6.1.7601.17514. The file it uses is usbvideo.sys buried in the drivers directory. I copied the app to a dir and opened it went to preview and the picture came up in the window. Hopefully this helps.

I'm surprised you got video! the one I bought won't do anything! Well it turns on but nothing else. I would look for a better cam.

I called sharp, and their tech support was having the same problem. Seems to be a skype software issue. Does anybody know how to reinstall it?

Sorry don't really, know. What I do know is that after initally working with windows xp, the software started using the laptops built in camera as the video source rather than the inspection camera. As of yet I have not been able to make it go back to the inspection camera. While it worked it worked well, other than it is a little floppy, so when you put it in a small hole, it is somewhat hard to control direction.

Hi Dave B, we have had no problem with ours. VGA port used and we have run video's and Skype at the same time.

Unused/new = yes. On-board video = yes. I assume it's compatible with Win 7 & 8, however I'm using Win XP.

I just install the software included in the CD. After that I just pluged the camera and thats it. I use windows 7. I don't know why but the first time i had a problem with the driver of the camera or the installation of the software. I tried again and worked.

I had the same problem on my older desk top,It operates fine on my laptops.Check your system for updates.Also try snapping a photo first then start recording your video.And above all else remember where these things are manufactured.It's a cheap investment just to strap on to an RC plane
