\"\"<\/a>Added a camera to the MACmini. <\/span><\/h4>\n

macOS is intended to work with iSight camera built into the Apple screens and laptops. So sometimes it can be problematic adding a USB camera to the Apple Operating System. <\/span><\/p>\n

I have a Logitech 9000 pro, a rather older edition in the Logitech camera line. I did some on-line research and Logitech says no drivers are necessary for the latest macOS.<\/p>\n

I plugged the camera in the one of the USB3 ports in the back of the MAC. The camera could not be found. I checked through the probable causes on the Logitech site.<\/p>\n

One of them was using a USB3 connection. Hmmm that all I have. BUT I do have a USB3 extender HUB added to the MAC . A TP-Link , 7 USB3 port, powered HUB with 2 extra power  <\/span>ports. <\/span><\/p>\n

Logitech says the use from a HUB could be a problem. I had nothing to loose so I switched the camera to one of the HUB ports. The camera was immediately recognized and working perfectly. I noted it was listed as USB camera #2. So there must be a USB port (#1) reserved for the iSight camera when it can be found. <\/span><\/p>\n

I don\u2019t care about what port is used, so all is fine with me.<\/p>\n

This is the first picture captured from the new vision system. The sound input (microphone) is also working perfectly. I was able to place a FaceTime call with no problems. FaceTime auto-cropped to my head\/body to reduce band-width. So many \u201csmarts\u201d built -in! <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
