If you're in the market for an external USB webcam that's been tested on a Mac computer system running OSX, the Mac compatible Microsoft HD-5000 LifeCam might be a good camera choice for your favorite Apple internet video conferencing app or for recording video clips for uploading to YouTube, for use in iMovie projects, or other online video services.Įssential Microsoft LifeCam Camera FeaturesA few particularly notable features of the UVC compliant Microsoft HD-5000 web camera for Mac includes assured compatibility with OS X version 10.5 or greater. This was especially annoying when holding up objects close to the camera or changing settings, with the auto focus taking a good few seconds to readjust.Wondering if Microsoft webcams are compatible with Mac? Many more recent models are. However our biggest gripe was with the auto focusing which had a tendency not only to refocus a lot, but at odd moments. In use we found the LifeCam to give some excellent detail, with some very clear images. Whereas the settings gives you resolution, mic volume and the option to turn "truecolor" on and off.

The effects panel gives you options to play around with an image a la fairground Hall of Mirrors, as well as effects such as sepia, negative and watercolour. A mouse click away is the main effects and settings panel. You'll get two windows: one which displays your image, with a LifeCam folder on the bottom left along with Photo Capture, Audio Capture and Video Capture icons. The interface was very straightforward and we doubt anyone would need to even glance at the instructions to make use of the various options on offer. The LifeCam HD-5000 proved very easy to set-up, with us slotting it into our laptop via the USB connection and firing up the disk included in the box. However, after a couple of goes, and rather vigorous twists of the strip it seemed to sit aloft our chosen device in a secure manner. In attempting to use the flexible stand to attach it to both a desktop and laptop screen we were a little perturbed at its apparent instability. The Messenger button carried out its task dutifully and launched Messenger whenever pressed - incidentally it'll also cope fine with Yahoo! Messenger, AOL Instant Messenger and Skype. The LifeCam's black body gets a silver bezel surrounding the lens, with key features being a rectangular button (flush with the body) on top of the device for firing up Windows Live Messenger, and a flexible stand/strip.

However, despite the cheaper materials the HD-5000 retained an air of quality and would certainly be able to withstand a few knocks in the bottom of a bag. The 5000 that greeted us was a small, highly portable device with the outer casing entirely made out of plastic which included the lens. (Pocket-lint) - It was a stroke of luck that the Microsoft LifeCam HD-5000 dropped through onto the doormat of Pocket-lint Towers, just as the Chat Roulette phenomenon of 2010 was hitting the Internet. However our interest soon wore off as the fifth male member in a row graced our screen, and after a group counselling session we finally managed to turn our attention to the webcam itself.Īimed at the budget conscious and what looks to be a follow up to the LifeCam Cinema, the HD-5000 sits alongside its counterpart the 6000, the former supposedly designed for desktops and the latter for laptops.
