Can camcorders or cameras function as webcams?

Q. If I wanted to live stream a video, can I use a camcorder/camera?

A. Maybe ... usually only the cheap ones.

Real camcorders and digital cameras capture far too much information to be able to stream to the Internet even with very high speed broadband connections.

The other issue is how will you keep the camera or camcorder turned on for hours without the battery dying?

Just spend $25 and get a real webcam

The streaming video sent by camcorders that you see on the Internet use special software programs that can compress the video into manageable size and that software is rather expensive.

If you have a telecom department where you work, ask them about what it takes to teleconferance between company sites. They can help you find the right software if that is what you are trying to do


What kind of zoom does a good camera have?
Q. I found a pocket camcorder/camera that has a zoom of x4. Is that good? I don't really understand that. What kind of zoom should a good camera have? I mean, on black friday it is only 20 dollars, so i'm sure that isn't the greatest, but is it even worth that much? It is a 1.3 megapixel camera. What would be a good zoom for a camera?

A. 4x refers to how far it can zoom in. Like when you see 4x on binoculars and rifle scopes it it means they have a magnification of four times. That being said, the magnification dosen't really translate into quality. If you want good quality look for and 'optical' zoom. That means it won't loose quality when you zoom in. If you get a digital zoom, then the closer you zoom in the crappier the quality gets. Being that it's a 20 dollar pocket camcorder, it most likely had digital zoom. but for 20 dollars, you can't complain. lol
