    Default Getting Started in Webcam

    I've been in the process of looking into doing webcam shows for the last few weeks. And I have a lot of questions about the equipment needed.

    At first I thought I could use my mac, but now that I've signed up with an agency I realize they only provide software for Windows. Now I have to go out and buy a PC to use--right?

    The second thing is the camera--I have no idea what kind to get! I've bought 2 different USB webcams, and now the literature I've gotten from the agency recommends using a miniDV camcorder with firewire. I'm going to be returning the second Webcam tomorrow, and looking for a firewire camcorder.

    What type of camera do most performers use? Obviously I want something that will do a better than average job, as everything from the agency says that your video quality is the number one reason why people continue to buy private time with you or not. Cost is also an issue, I'm not sure if I'm going to really like doing webcam, and I don't want to invest a whole lot of money only to find out I don't like it.

    Any help or specific models/brands will help me out a ton!

    Well first off if you have the resources to go alone , go alone and sign up as an invidual model. It’s much better for you in the long run and you have more control of knowing what is going on with your model account. A lot of websites operate with all systems including Macs, because the latest websites use flash media broadcaster. Imlive, streamate, cams, privatecamz, livejasmin, and also there is an added software that I found just for mac users camtwist where you can broadcast your cam via any site. You do not have to go out and buy a PC a lot of Mac users do cam, I am a PC user so I can’t really suggest anymore then I know about how you can get online with a MAC, but it can be done.

    I highly recommend breaking away from the agency you signed up with and go and cam alone.

    Again the agency is messing you up, your usb webcams are fine, do not listen to them, you can work very well with your usb webcams until your ready to upgrade on your own. They pushing you to get a miniDV camera because they are a studio and they pretty much own you. If later on you want to change to a video camera, then at that time do shopping around for right now you can go live very easily with what you have no problem.

    Logitech webcam work best but I have no idea if they work with macs like I said I am a PC user my biggest issue is getting things to work with Vista.

    Damn girl, the agency is really screwing with you, camera quality is one factor in making money, but there is other factors to consider when it comes to the money you make from being online, one of them being your lighting, and the other is the colours you choose to wear in your outfits and also in your background. Right now work with what you have, it will take time to build up your clients and your regular income from webcamming but you already have a webcam and a working computer and an internet connection.

    Go with the sites I suggest that run on a flash media broadcast , to see if your cam will work with them because you run out and fill out the model release forms and other processes of sinigng up to do cam you can test out any cam you buy on www.testmycam.com
