can this camera be used for video conference

No, this is not a webcam, this is more for monitoring. You can buy a very good webcam for much cheaper

I would have to agree with the other coments. This is more of a monitorng/security camera. I would not use this camera in a business enviroment.

No, this cannot be used as a webcam but it's a very good and cheap security camera

You would need some video capture software. This is NOT a USB or IP camera.

Hi effie, no, it can't be used as a webcam. The camcorder does not have the live streaming feature which would enable live streaming online. Thanks_Mitch

It can. You can use its software to record videos, or you can go to YouTube (if YouTube is the goal) and use their on-line flash software to record. HOWEVER. When using the software that comes with the cam, you'll note that if you convert it to any format other than the ONE format it churns out, WMV, you will end up with video and audio out of sync. Not only that but upload it to YouTube, which converts it to FLV, and the same thing happens. Wow. This is a huge oversight by both Microsoft and YouTube if you ask me. And using the quick capture feature on YoUTube isn't foolproof either. Sometimes the audio gets out of sync there, too--sometimes it's okay. I'm pretty annoyed, frankly. I was going to return it, but the Logitech cam I bought to replace it didn't seem to work well either, maybe worse, so I returned it and kept this one and have a problematic time using the quick capture feature. If anyone else figures out a workaround or a better product, let us know. I tried using virtualdub and other programs to get the audio to sync, but I can't figure out how to use them properly. So frustrating.

That's a great question. The camera has a lot of features but I'm not sure if it's able to do that.

The camera would be fine although someone needs to man the remote to move it as appropriate. The microphone would not work well at that distance, I ended up using a MXL AC-404 (from Amazon) and it works flawlessly. I also route the sound out of this to portable speaker system if the crowd is more than 10-15 people, otherwise the built in speaker is fine. Our tech club has used this to webcast large meetings (40-60 people) in a large multi-purpose room (2000sf) and using the other microphone and the speaker output, it makes for a very professional presentation. In a much smaller venue, the device itself would be sufficient.

I am using this camera in three of my conference rooms. Placed at the long end of the room, it clearly picks up the 20 people sitting at the table. This camera is much better than the previous MS HD camera I had in the room.

I don't think so. Its pretty cut and dry little cam. I use it for Skype mostly. If your trying to record and using a green screen I am assuming you are doing more of a production than just video chatting. I would recommend one of Microsoft's Studio Cams. I'm actually thinking of maybe purchasing the 720p model.

I wouldn't recommend it for video. It doesn't have enough power to watch videos especially 1080p and sometimes 720p will not run smooth.

I don't think so, but there is a way to make it work as you need it to. There are a lot of things you can do with this camera. Google your question

"Sony® digital still cameras are not supported for use as a Webcam. To video conference, use a dedicated Webcam or video camera that supports this function."So says Sony. I did find mention of some other Sony models with a specific jack working. After market -I don't know

This camera can be used with any display with a composite video input. Just be aware that the image will be reversed left to right just like looking at a mirror.

HI Joe, you will be able to use it as a webcam if your computer's OS is Windows XP or below. Thanks_Mitch

I highly doubt it. No way this camera is 5MP. The zoom is terrible and eventually got stuck which then ruined it. There is no microphone. I took it apart and it was hollow. I'd stay away from this

No, I don't think so. This camera gives you two distinct video streams with which you can build 3D formats of an object (which you can send to a 3D printer), but after using some other software. The exact specification of that software would depend on your 3D printer.

I have never used this camera for video so I can't tell you about it.I use for video the HX300 and it's great for videos
