Use a video cam.
With the prevalence of the Internet, videocams have taken off as a way to connect with friends, family, and coworkers. Compared to a normal telephone call, video cams allow you to directly observe and interact with your colleagues. With the implementation of Voice over IP, you can now make video cam calls for free. Web cam can also be used to observe your children or monitoring your house while away.
Instructions
1. Install the videocam by plugging the USB cable into your computer's USB port. The operating system will detect the new hardware and will install the proper drives. When prompted, place the CD that came packaged with the video cam into the CD drive. The CD will install necessary applications that will allow you to use the video cam.
2. Adjust the camera settings via its software. The software will allow you to configure microphone, camera resolution, and speaker settings. The software will allow you to take still photos directly from your video cam. You will also be able to record audio. Miscellaneous settings can be accessed by clicking on "File" then "Settings."
3. Speak into the microphone built into the video cam. You can also connect an external headphone set into your computer to use as a microphone.
4. Connect with friends via Skype, Yahoo Messenger, or Windows Live Messenger. Voice over applications come integrated into the video cam, allowing you talk and see the person you are calling. Simply run the software and choose someone from your contact list. When connected, speak into the camera's microphone and observe your friend on your computer screen.
