Customizes the way a webcam is accessed when multiple applications have support for webcam image streaming. Supports any iSight camera or external webcams that work on Mac. Adjust the settings in Basic mode or access the deep image manipulation features by enabling the Advanced working mode.
Webcam Settings is the first and only app which lets you improve the image quality in real-time when using your USB webcam with your favorite video application such as FaceTime, iChat/Messages, or Skype. Webcam Settings is a very useful and user-friendly OS X utility that will help you quickly adjust your USB webcam's settings.
Webcam Settings allows you to adjust settings, including the exposure time, contrast, saturation, and white-balance/temperature for your webcam, whether it's a built-in iSight, a more recent FaceTime/FaceTime HD camera, or an external USB webcam.
Features: True hardware-level control of your webcam. View changes in real-time to your video as you move sliders and change other settings. Fully plug-and-play; Webcam Settings automatically recognizes your USB webcam when it's connected to your Mac. Automatically identifies various settings that your webcam supports. Feel free to try any different settings as "Reset to Default" button brings back original settings from your camera. Works with almost every video or photo app such as Photo Booth, FaceTime, iMovie and Skype. Please note: Webcam Settings supports UVC (USB Video Class) webcams only; FireWire cameras such as external iSight are not supported. Your USB webcam must be working on your Mac properly (functioning normally with FaceTime, iChat/Messages, and Skype) before it can be used with Webcam Settings.
