Aiptek webcam with iChat AV
Authored by: mclbruce on Jul 18, '03 08:29:35PM

After installing APE and iChatUSBCam my Aiptek Mini Pencam 1.3 works with iChat AV. I have the macam driver installed as well.

I connected with someone who used Apple's camera. They were on DSL, and I'm on Cable. They noticed that my frame rate was very low - the picture they received from me was not smooth. I had no problems receiving their picture.

Sound was fine both ways, I used an old Apple PlainTalk mic attached to my Power Mac G4/400.

All in all it was a very positive experience. Since I already own the camera I'm into videoconferencing for no additional cost. The Aiptek makes a nice little "second camera" if you have OS X and use the macam drivers.
