Caution: Requires Operating System OS 10.4.11 or higher
I believe this webcam may work well as described, however, after receiving it and spending quite a bit of time trying to figure out why my Mac did not recognize this camera I decided to contact Logitech support before returning this camera. I am still using OS 10.3.9 and very happy. But per Logitech; the webcam that you are using is only supported in Mac OS 10.4.11 or higher. The camera is not properly detected because it does not meet the requirement is order to function. This is not mentioned on any of their literature, website or in the wecam instructions. I hope this assists in keeping down the returns.
Requires a high-power Mac
This product listing is a bit misleading in that the Mac can’t really take advantage of the high resolution of this camera. Apple software simply does not support such high resolution: as it says in the specs above, “Photo Booth and iChat support a maximum resolution of 640 x 480 pixels.”
Talia, your G4 iMac simply doesn’t have enough horsepower , in processor speed or video resolution, to do satisfying video chat- with any video camera. You have to dig into the iChat specifications, but this is what Apple states for 1-1 video chat requirements: 320-by-240 pixel video resolution requires a minimum of 1.8 GHz G5, or 1.66 GHz Intel Core Duo (one of the newer dual-processor computers). According to their specs, your computer would support a video resolution of 160-by-120 pixels- this is a video picture that is approximately 2 inches by 1.5 inches in size- tiny. If the chat window is any bigger, no matter what camera you use, the video will be choppy and poor quality because your Mac simply is not capable of processing the signals and displaying the video fast enough. I’m very sorry - there’s not enough info here for you to have known that.
The specifications listed here are entirely inadequate for consumers to know how well this camera will work with their computer.
Tech support is terrible. Camera does not work
The Logitech QuickCam Vision Pro is billed as a 2 MP camera.
However, tech support says that they cannot get 2 MP working on a mac.
They say there is no difference between this camera and the Logitech
Pro 9000 except for the right-light technology.
I asked for a supervisor and tech support just hung up on me.
I called back and was put on hold for yet another 5 minutes.
Roshad, at tech support answered the phone. I asked to speak
with a supervisor and was placed back on hold. Then I was asked
for a first and last name, and placed on hold again.
Are we having fun yet?
I told them that the camera says that it is a 2 MP camera that
is mac compatible. I asked how we can test the camera…and
get the advertised resolution.
Tres (the supervisor) says that it all depends on the bandwidth of the connection.
But, according to Tres, they do not support any specific applications
that can preview a 2 megapixel image on a mac.
We tried: iVezeen, ichat, photobooth, quicktime pro player…nothing shows
this camera at 2 MP…Logitech, are you listening?
