How long will the webcam on my mac record for?

2011-08-09 2:00 am
I have a webcam built into my mac pro, of course.
If I want to leave my laptop open and have the video camera running 24/7 is that possible? when the screen goes black or the laptop automatically "sleeps" will the webcam turn off or will it keep going? if it will turn off, is there a setting i can use to fix this?
thanks!

when your computer shuts down or goes to sleep, the webcam will automatically turn off as well. but if you don't mind keeping your mac on all the time, then you can go to System Preferences->Energy and put the display and computer NEVER to sleep, and of course make sure you have your power cord plugged in all the time. But there's one thing to keep in mind though, if you are having the video camera running 7/24 for security reason, then I shall assume you are saving the recoding file as well, so don't forget to check if you have enough hard disk space.

How approximately changing the door knob to one that demands a key...as a conceivable answer. purely factor i will think of of is the two turning on iSight digital camera (assuming it quite is on the mac) earlier leaving or consistent with hazard activating it by skill of placing it up for off internet site get entry to and than activating the iSight digital camera.

Go to System Prefs and change your settings where your computer and display never go to sleep. Then keep the laptop plugged into the wall so the battery doesn't run down. Maybe it will work. It's worth a try, if you have the hard drive space for it.
