macam consist of an application and a component. Run the macam application to verify whether your camera works with your Mac and your USB setup. The component is the actual driver that allows other applications to access the video-stream. (note: iChat does not recognize most USB webcams unless you install iChatUSBCam - this is shareware unrelated to macam)
macam supports several hundred different cameras! Many Logitech, Creative and other name brand cameras are supported, as are a large number of generic, and store-branded cameras. Thus many cameras are supported that we have not even heard about.

Here is a list of cameras with macam support indicated. Remember that this list is necessarily incomplete and not always up to date; so please try the macam application with your camera before abandoning hope. If your camera is not on the list, or if the support is different from what is indicated, please let us know!
The most recent version of macam is release 0.9.2, available here. This version adds support for a number of webcams. In particluar the PS3 Eye, which requires USB2, but has a phenomenal picture. Many other webcams have been added, all the cameras from the gspca project should work (although no guarantees are provided). There is better support for Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard), as the NSLock console warning messages should be gone. The driver for the PAC207 has been improved in many ways, this chip is used in many cheap webcams.
In this test your browser asks for permission to see the output of your computer's webcam, or the browser on your phone asks for permission to see the output of the camera - and the output is then transferred to your screen. That makes it easy - if you see the cam video then you know it's working and connected. As was mentioned above, everything that happens happens in your computer and no information is being sent to our servers. We care about your privacy. To the more techy among us: this test is built simply with Javascript, HTML5 and CSS, and is 100% on the client-side.
FPS is the number of frames, or images, that your webcam is taking and transmitting every second. This number is affected by the type of webcam that you have, and also by the speed of your computer and the number of tasks that it is engaged in at a given moment... FPS matters because the higher this number is the more life-like and real the resulting video looks. We are used to seeing movies in the cinema and TV shows displayed at around 24-30 FPS. Generally the FPS of television is higher than that of the cinema. So if, let's say, you're using Skype and the FPS your camera is recording is lower than 24, then that means that the image is going to look a little stuttery to the other side.A number significantly higher than 30, meanwhile, just means that the video will be more fluid, more lifelike. This fluidity might seem a little odd to our eyes which are accustomed to 24-30 FPS, but generally a higher FPS count is a good thing. It will just look a little less "cinematic", and a little more "daily soap opera".
To understand whether the problem is with the webcam or with your computer, we would advise that you try your webcam on a different computer. Also, if you have access to one, try a different camera at your own computer.This should leave you with a better understanding on what's working and what isn't, and what needs to be fixed.If you think the camera isn't working (you tried it on two computers and it didn't work), then contact the support staff of the camera's brand.If the camera is working on a different computer but isn't working on yours - then it means there's probably a software issue with your computer. You can try contacting us and we'll try to help, hopping on a general tech support forum on the internet, or calling a technician.
