Can this camera be connected to a computer and provide a live image?

Hi Gordon, yes, you can. Just connect the HDMI cable to your computer for you to use it as a monitor. Thanks_Mitch

Absolutely! That's what it is for! Far better than plugging your camera to your computer.

Yes, but remember that this camera has a slightly narrow field of view. You're not going to get a wide angle view of the surroundings. Also, be advised that viewing this image requires that a special plug-in be loaded into your browser. You can't just go up to any PC and view the image.

You can connect the camera directly to your computer and download pictures/videos with the included cord. I view any pictures from the camera on my computer and have found it quite easy.

no, but do you really want a camera permanently plugged into a computer that usually stays on the interweb?

The video camera does have a live feed option through ustream. It would technically stream through the Internet to a computer. I'm sure there is an output cable to go from the camera to the computer, but I haven't done that, so I don't know for sure.

No, it has a video output so you can put the image on a monitor. You can't take pics either live feed only.

Hi Melissa, I have no problems with the computer, but you should be able to connect your web cam

Certain cameras can hook up to a computer via USB cable. For others... like SONY... u may have to get the program. U might be able to search for it online. Sony has a website to where u can either purchase it or download it to ur computer. Or. last but not least, look in the manual for the camera. Hope this info works for u. If not, research further. Good luck.

Yes. But the downfall is that you must be running on battery power (power supply unplugged) for the live streaming to work. I have found out that this camera is not a good idea for church service recording to pc or internet streaming.

yes, but you will need software to do this. I have a synology nas that has a free application called surveillance station that you can connect the camera to and record. im sure there are several other applications that can do the same.

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

Yes. Remove the SD card & read it. Or, Plug in a mini USB cable from camera to computer.

Hi Herb, Unfortunately no the camera cannot be viewed in real time. When you have finished recording, recover the camera and connect it to your PC using the USB cable provided. The recorded video sequences can then be viewed directly onto your computer screen without the need for any drivers or installation CDs.

No it cannot serve as a webcam. The USB port is read only and the HDMI and AV ports connect only to a TV for playback.

That's a computer question, not camera. The camera will operate as long as the computer keeps it online.

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
