tips
- get the lighting right! Place a light (such as a desk lamp)
behind the camera to light you from the front
- use the included IceCam Monitor software to see how you
will come out, and adjust the room lighting and colour settings
accordingly
- if you have USB 1.1 on your Mac or PC and have many devices
attached, the video may be jerky (fewer frames per second)
- use a microphone for videoconferencing. The built in
microphone on most Macs is ideal
- unfortunately, the IceCam does not work with SightSpeed
