Zoom Telephonics ZoomCam-ISA
Videoconference Camera
Last updated 2/4/99
INSTALLATION. User instructions were skimpy
and not very useful; however, installation was straight-forward even in a
Compaq Presario with four plug 'n play boards including this one and one
too few Interrupt request lines (IRQs). I ended-up sharing IRQ 7 with
the printer port and both worked fine.
SOFTWARE. The camera comes with a generous
selection of software:
- Smith Micro Software's VideoLink and VideoLink Mail. VideoLink
can be used to capture frames, videoconference, etc. via phone, Internet,
or local area network. You can turn your PC and camera into a virtual
VCR with VideLink Mail. The virtual VCR makes a self-executing files
containing a video/audio clips or "tapes" which can be included
as an attachments to E-Mail messages. "Tapes" can then
be played on the recipients PC by simply opening the attachment.
- Microsoft's NetMeeting, CyberCast's CU-SeeMe, and
BoxTop Interactive's IVisit facilitate Internet videoconferencing. The
first two channel communications through servers on the Internet. IVisit
allows direct communications between PC's on the Internet; however, you
must know the IP address for each PC to make the connections. Of
the three, I found NetMeeting most to my liking.
- JASC Software's PaintShop Pro. A very good
paint program.
- And a bunch of other software I did have time to play
with.
