The responsibility of ensuring compatibility of the camera with the SIP Multimedia PC Client application is critical. Compatibility is usually indicated by successfully installing the camera, seeing the camera recognized by the client application, and proper behavior of the SIP Multimedia PC Client application during and after several video telephony phone calls.
The following guidelines are recommended:
•Evaluate the camera in person before purchasing.
•If multiple PC's with different versions of the Windows operating system are going to be used with the camera, evaluate the camera on all operating systems before purchasing.
•If multiple PC's with different hardware configurations are going to be used with the camera, evaluate the camera on all hardware configurations before purchasing.
•Before installing a camera on a computer, always visit the camera vendor's web site for updated camera drivers, and use the updated drivers if available.
•Do not purchase USB cameras for use on computers with the Windows NT OS. Windows NT does not support USB devices.
