Would there be too much delay for it to work as a real-time web conferencing camera? Assuming the sound is through a telephone.

There is a 1 to 2 second delay on the video but if you are using a telephone for audio it should work just fine.

Like other responses, I have used the Panasonic app successfully on an Android phone. There is a noticeable lag when taking a picture. I have not timed it but feels close to 1/2 to 3/4 a second. The live display is also delayed and is probably show at 10 frames/sec. ( but again I have not timed it.) So I would not recommend the interface for taking action shots. It is fine for group portrait shots - especially to get the framing right, but not to catch that fleeting expression. Best use I have found is for a remote shutter release of a long exposure when camera is on a tripod.

I have found that there is a 2 - 5 second delay between shots, but I'm not sure how this compares with other cameras.

I beleive this would be an option, in my application I was able to connect remotely to my camera and control and observe as well as have the camera send via email or text as many as 6 images when motion was sensed. I used this successfully in my application and was very pleased with its reliabilty. Image quality was excellent and send/receive times were in the area of 10 seconds.

That is so helpful!! I have been trying to figure that out for a while for skype and stuff because my friends cant see me when i get online. I have a flip camera and i was trying to see if you could use it as a webcam! THANKS!!!

I suppose it could, but its not going to be the most effective because of its size and likely the camera weight on top of it. If it were me, I'd look for a more conventional method such as a smaller camera that's designed for such an application.

Camera works as long as it has wifi connection and that the wifi is commecting to the internet. There is a slight delay depending on your wifi speed, but for us it has not been a problem. We just bought cheap audio monitors as a back up.

Not really. It is designed as a flexible and good recording/webcam. There is nothing that activates it through motion. It is very good at what it does but I think you may be better served with something designed to a surveillance camera's specific job...

It's a lenz so yes that's a phone capability. But any movement will make the video a blur.

In my opinion, when using the video function there is a delay. there may be a slight delay in picture mode but not more than any other camera I have used. hope this helps!

There are several options in the video output stream to let you see the video on a very slow connection. You can adjust the frames per second and the video dimensions. Making fps and the dimensions smaller do the trick. The higher the fps and dimensions, the better the quality. I've accessed these webcams on dial up (19.2kbps) and been able to see the output, but you pay the price in that it is choppy and small.

yes ... the camera has a delay / self timer ... works very well ... I have used it many times ... easy to set up

Yes it can but the quality is nowhere close to todays standard. Might be good for online video chat but not much else. I believe I read somewhere that it is 0.3 megapixel

Should be able to, haven't tried myself but the speed is decent to handle skype and the microphone from what can be tested when messing with google search voice recognition is more spot on detecting what i am saying than my samsung galaxy player 5 can usually recognize.

My connection is not SUPER fast, it claims to be 15 MB/sec but it's always lower than that. It depends on the connection of who watches it. Like from my phone it interrupts sometimes. I noticed that the camera disconnects sometimes depending on where you install it. Keep it away from interference (microwaves, wireless phones etc.)

No,that's not how it works, heck, it actually depends on what software you useAnalogy: it's like having a wireless camera for your phone, your asking "can it record?", well, it depends on the app
