Use DSLR camera instead of webcam

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)

From the menu choose how to connect the device instead of PTP Mass Storage. If you have this option of course.

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 an accumulator coupled to an energy-saving light bulb so that we have ECO light at night in the yard.

Hi, iflorin07 I can give you an answer in this field because I am a specialist in Photovoltaic Solar Energy it all depends on what investment you want to make, because on the market here in Spain you can find kits for what you claim or for what you want at about € 500 but they are not good for anything. For a performance installation, I recommend that you contact a specialist in Solar Photovoltaic Energy and make a project for you. In this case I give you one of the examples with which the project must be done (a battery for a longer and better life should not be discharged below 50%) so you see here a consumption calculation must be made to does not fall below 50% over a period of 12/13 hours, there would be more to say but these things as I said before can be told to you by a professional doing a project and showing you and I think it is better to use current from RENEL with a low-energy light bulb that comes out cheaper than buying an installation of this kind. I can't detail now in this comment what I learned in 2 years. Now at the end of the comment let me tell you something, I think that if you invest a few hundred RON in LED bulbs throughout the house you will see the difference, and you will not even reach the amount you will pay for this photovoltaic salary energy kit. I leave you an example of a light bulb that consumes 4 watts and illuminates as much as one of 40 watts but the price leaves much to be desired: http://domoelectra.com/tiendaonline/iluminacion/iluminacion-led/lampara-estandar-led-4w-e27-3000k-serie-oro. I hope you have cleared this comment.
