what is the best inexpensive HD webcam to get to run with my iMac to record my church services to live stream to Ustream?

I am sorry to say. I really have no idea about iMac. This cam is working good with my Windows PC. Thanks

As long as you have software on the iMac that will capture from the thunderbolt port you should be able to do this. We are using it on Mac Mini's to capture video from SDI and HDMI cameras.

I have been using it to do voice overs for scribe videos and it has worked very well using my iMac. I have been very happy with the quality of the audio. Therefore, yeah, I think it's great for voice overs.

As long as you are using a VGA this will work fine. I currently use it at my church with a Mac as well as a standard laptops.

Hi, the HD Pro Webcm C910 is compatible with my Mac. I just plugged it in and it worked right away. You will need to just switch to this camera in settings, changing from the built in iSight to the Logitech. I have used it with Screenflow, Hangout and Skype, worked fine with all of them. I also added a little piece of software called WebCam Settings that allowed me to make some adjustments to the image, but you don't have to. I it works fine all by itself

I use it with my Mac Pro, however I use my Logitech C920HD more often. The image is quality of the iSight is ok. It is really elegant, however compared with the quality of more modern webcams the iSight is pretty, the picture quality is ok.You will have to find a driver, it is available it just will take some searching on the Apple Website.

There's no such thing as an iMac Pro to my knowledge (there are iMacs, MacBook Pros and Mac Pros, but no iMac Pros). I know of no software that will let you hook into your iSight camera to view your apartment. Apple purposely has put up huge security walls so that people can't easily use your iSight camera from a remote location to watch you. If it was easy, it would make your computer very insecure and your privacy nearly non-existent. However, you might contact the NSA or Homeland Security. Apparently they have ways of activating webcams to spy on people without the activation light coming on (although they might not be willing to share the how-to information on that with you). Usually there needs to be someone at your computer to accept an incoming call to make the iSight camera active. I recommend that you do an internet search for software that allows you to set up a webcam as a surveillance device that will stream video to your mobile device via the Internet. You may need to purchase a purpose-built surveillance device that will connect to your WiFi, although I'm not sure if this kind of product exists.

I've got an Intel-based mac, but I think it's probably more an issue of the software - so you should be fine, provided you are sporting the latest OS and iLife. I've now tried it with both iMovie 08 and FCP (whatever the most recent is). It's very straightforward in iMovie. Here's a crappy example of something I shot, imported and uploaded in under an hour:http://www.vimeo.com/1033464Ridiculously easy with iMovie. Not as straightforward with FCP. You have to find the HDV profile best suited to the camera (I'm still experimenting).

I am using this Monitor with a Mac Mini running OSX Mavericks. The webcam DOES NOT work with my computer.

Since I purchased this item in 2008 I have used this cam for many music-recitals. It is easy to use and perfectly compatible with my mac. I like it's not only video quality but picture. Even though it was born late 2000 but still quality is good.this is a link for my project and sound is not from this camcorder. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CNL9FtCz2GU&list;=HL1389628136

DAB, just read your reply, I've been debating the same issue. My plan is for video and photo editing, along with music recording. I think I'll need the extra HD space and the GPU would be handy. I think you just convinced me. But I'm waiting until after August 2010 to see if there are new iMacs being announced.

Thanks for the answers I received. I did find out that with my IMAC (newest version) I was able to use IMOVIE. Works fine.

try downloading mpeg streamclip from the apple web site. It is free. This program converts the files from the camera into quicktime files that can be read by Imac editing programs. It will take a little bit to learn how to do it, but once you have it is really quite simple.

Yes! This camera is amazing. I used it all summer and filled 1TB up in just video. I have an Imac and they were made for each other. The only thing I wish is that the Imac would burn DVDs in 1080, but for now I'll settle for the 720.

I have this and I do not use it much. From what I can tell just the basic web cam works, no other features work. What I have come to realize is the only Mac that does not come with a web cam built in is the mini (which is what I have), so not many companies produce a web cam that is compatible. This was one of two I found that are supposed to work with Mac, I don't remember what the other one is but i tried that one first and it did not work. I don't know if this helps, sorry if it doesn't.

Actually, I hooked up my little AipTek video camera to my eMac last night--it's true that iPhoto doesn't recognize videos recorded on it, but if you open its icon on the desktop and go to the video folder, and double-click on the file icon, Quicktime will play it. Good enough for me.
