In case you haven’t, you need to insert the CD-ROM that came with your camera and install the device driver. Ordinarily, the default install will install some free program plus the device driver.

Remove the camera, install the device driver/software. Then,
if it connects to the USB port (PC) or Firewire port (Apple) reboot the PC, plug in the camera and follow the instructions.

I’ve read that people have hurt equipment by not plugging the firewire connectors in straight and caused shorts, so read the installation directions to see if they recommend you connect the camera while the PC is powered. Newer equipment is supposed to have minimize the danger.

If the Webcam is USB it should plug into the mainframe’s usb port the same way as you do with the PC.
