Hi friends, today I will show you how to use genuine a DSLR or compact camera instead of a Web camera (Webcam) on Yahoo Messenger, Google Hangouts, Skype, etc.
For those who do not have camera, I recommend This tutorial in which you will see how you can use your webcam instead.
For it to use a DSLR instead of WebCam?
Simply because the best and do not need to buy a webcam. Besides a DSLR is more sensitive to light and will automatically have a good image, high quality in low light indoors, where WebCam shows its limits.
If we put a premium lens f / f or 1.8 / 1.4, then the image will be dream axact as filming in Hollywood.
To use DSLR or compact camera in Camara web site, you have to install SparkoCam.
SparkoCam is a commercial application but we Vresse trial and we can try to see if it works and if we like.
I used?
Windows 10 (preview)
SparkoCam 2.3.5 Beta (software control)
Nikon Camera D5200
AF-S Nikkor lens 35mm f / G 1.8
SparkoCam download (trial version)
Use DSLR camera instead of webcam

Hi Cristi! I tried to connect a Canon PowerShot s5is and do not find the program in the device manager appears to PORTABLE DEVICE. I have attached a photo here: http://postimg.org/image/dq3qudy15/ ,what to do?
From the menu choose how to connect the device instead of PTP Mass Storage. If you have this option of course.
Thank you, and I'll try to see if the camera goes, it's a Fujifilm FinePix S5600.
I would like a tutorial on Windows 10 and updates from Windows to Windows 7 10 if possible.

Hello Cristi have all my respect for what you did to videotutorial.ro
There are many tutorials on the site, about all categories, but we also want a "third party" tutorial about electricity, photovoltaic panels, what specifications we should consider. For example, we want to supply power from the photovoltaic panel to a battery connected to an energy-saving light bulb so that we have ECO light at night in the yard.
Hello, iflorin07 I can give you an answer in this field for that are specialist in solar photovoltaic investment all depends on what you want to do, for the market here in Spain find kits that claim for you or for what you want at any 500 € but not good for anything. For a performance installation I recommend you get in touch with a specialist in solar photovoltaic project and make your way. In this case I give you one of exemplurile with which to do the project (lasting battery for longer life and better must not discharge below 50%) so you see here should be made to the account of a not fall below 50% for a period of 12 / 13 hours, would have much to say but as I said those things you can tell a professional doing a project and showing yourself and I think you better is using Current RENEL a little bulb consumption as out cheaper than to buy a dintrasta installation. I can not elaborate your Comment far this year we have learned in 2. Now at the end of the comment to tell you something I think that if you invest a few hundred light bulbs roni in the whole house you will see the difference, and you will not reach the amount you'll pay for this kit Salara energy photovoltaic Here you leave a exemlu watt bulb that consumes 4 40 and illuminate how one watt but the price is lacking: http://domoelectra.com/tiendaonline/iluminacion/iluminacion-led/lampara-estandar-led-4w-e27-3000k-serie-oro. I hope you have cleared this comment.

Check if your model is supported.
the program is good but how do I remove the "Sparkosoft.com" logo from the image ?????
Hello Cristi, can use a webcam video camera on the station? I have a particular soft? Thank you.
We have something about using a phone as a webcam.
we have to using a DSLR broadcast webcam.
We have a capture board which can turn any webcam camera HDMI output.
Good Cristi! A Canon 80D DSLR can be used for Video Chat. Can you check if the software is compatible with 80D? If yes, do I need a special capture card via HDMI or just connect DSLR to usb cable? Merci!
More specifically, for 80D, you can only use SparkoCam or SparkoCam + capture application or just the AVerMedia Live Gamer Portable FullHD capture card without the SparkoCam application. Merci!
I did not test with Canon, I tested with Panasonic G7 and Nikon 5200, both with HDMI output clean.
It might also go with 80D, directly via HDMI connected to Avermedia LGP, and from there you stream directly or via OBS.
Hello Cristian, I've been struggling for a long time to find 2.3.5 Beta, I do not find Sparko on the official Sparko website, I've searched on google and I have a little bit of violating my pc, can you please let me know with the address where they can download exactly 2.3.5 Beta! I would be very grateful! Thank you very much!
