Using the camera as a webcam (NetMeeting)
This is included in your version of Windows. You can download the latest version of
NetMeeting by going to www.microsoft.com and searching under the headwords
‘download netmeeting’. Version 3 is also included on the CD-ROM (\netmeeting).
1.
Make sure you have an Internet account installed and your speakers and
microphone are connected before starting NetMeeting.
2.
Connect the camera to your computer.
3.
Select the ‘Live’ mode in the camera’s menu (see figure 8).
4.
Start NetMeeting (Start -> Programs -> Accessories -> Internet Tools ->
NetMeeting)

windows
will be opened, namely NetMeeting and your Dial-up
connection
6.
Fill in your user name and password and click on 'Connect' to connect to the
Internet. A ‘Dial Up Connection’ window will appear if you use an external
gateway, a cable modem or ADSL.
7.
Once a connection has been made with the Internet, only the NetMeeting
window will remain visible. The ‘Dial-up Connection’ window will disappear.
8.
A number of settings should be made only once.
Go to ‘Tools -> Options…’ and click on the ‘Video’ tab
9.
To prevent a mirror image of your camera, do not select
‘Show mirror image in preview video window’. Image settings, such as the
image size and quality, can also be changed in this window. Click on 'OK' to
save the new settings and return to the start window of NetMeeting. The
once-only settings have now been completed.
10.
Click on 'View' in the NetMeeting window and select 'My Video (New
Window)'. An extra window ('My Video') will now be opened
11.
Click on the ‘Play’ button (
) to turn on your current video image. This
image will also be seen by the person you make a NetMeeting connection
with.
12.
You are now ready to make a NetMeeting connection. Click on NetMeeting’s
telephone book icon. A new window will appear.
13.
In the address bar, type an ‘ils server name’ (for example, ils.worldonline.nl)
and click on ‘Enter’.
14.
Double-click on a person in the list. A NetMeeting connection will be made.
The person may not wish to make a connection with you, because this person may
be communicating with somebody else. If this is the case, select somebody else
from the list. You can find other ‘ils servers’ on the Internet. An example is:
http://www.netmeetinghq.com. For more information or solutions to problems, click
on ‘Help’ in NetMeeting’s start window. This contains a description of all the
functions available with NetMeeting.
Microsoft has started closing down its ILS servers. This will mean that you will only
be able to use NetMeeting via MSN Messenger (an instant message program) which
is included with most versions of Windows. You must register with Microsoft (to
obtain a passport) before this program will work. See the MSN Messenger Help
function for instructions on how to register. Other organizations have active ILS
servers which can also be used.
Note:
When using NetMeeting and MSN Messenger, you may contact
people who have different options to yourself. Do not allow children to
use these programs unsupervised.
Tip:
The image is usually sharper if the macro setting is turned on when
using the camera for video conferencing (see chapter 4.6.5).
