How do I connect a video camera to my MBP and use it a live feed video monitor?

Am trying to connect a video camera to my MBP to use it as a live feed monitor. Any thoughts? Have tried iMovie, iPhoto and image capture apps to no avail.



Thx, rc.

As you have found, those will not work. 😉


You need software that will stream the feed for your purpose (broadcast, security, etc).


You don't specify your need, but here are a couple of examples to get you started in your own search:


QuickTime Broadcaster


• Security Spy


You can search the web or Mac App Store for other needs or choices.
