Telcast Webcam Wirelessly Replaces Your iSight

Telcast Webcam Wirelessly Replaces Your iSight

Unless you have a Mac Mini or Mac Pro, there’s not a lot of reason to buy a third-party webcam if you’re on a modern Apple machine, but Telcast’s latest webcam, the W900, does one thing your built-in iSight won’t: it’s a wireless web cam that can transmit 5 megapixel video and images at distances up to 200 meters.

A welcome advance in webcam technology that should prevent at least a few MacBooks from vibrating off the lubricated bedside table top on anniversary night. The Telcast W900 costs $117.

    So will this actually replace the isight in apps like photo booth without the need for hacks such as macam and other crappy software?
