Finding Apple Macintosh OSX webcams that just work without additional drivers can be frustrating. I introduce a few low-end UVC compliant USB 2.0 web cameras that I know to be plug and play iSight compatible with Mac OSX Tiger 10.4 and Leopard 10.5 in this episode. OS X’s native support for UVC cams isn’t unique – Windows Vista and many Linux distro’s make UVC compliant cams the smart buy now and for the future.

Unfortunately, the Kanamax cheapo UVC cam is just that – an unreliable, cheap piece of junk that works well — until you wiggle it’s wire and the video cuts out… Or worse, the webcam has a built-in microphone that never did work – at all.

‘Ya Get What Ya Pay For” In this episode, another cheap webcam from overseas. Works ok on OSX 10.4 at slow USB 1.1 speeds, doesn’t show an image at all on my MacBook running OS X 10.5.3 and useless for iChat AV or PhotoBooth.

Thought it might be a conflict with my built-in iSight – but other driverless UVC USB 2.0 webcameras work fine. Perhaps there’s something new about 10.5 Leopard or iChatAV doesn’t want to recognize slower USB 1.1 cameras? Yes I tried macam, yes I tried ecamm’s iChatUSB, other video apps to no avail.

I’ll do a bit more trial and error testing, but the lesson from this is cheap crappy web cams may be easy on the wallet, but you PAY for it with frustration and wasting an hour or two of your life like I did.
