Get creative with your iSight
Iris adds some cool extra features to your Mac's iSight camera.
The application is easy to set up and use. You can take snapshots or make movies in real time or via time lapse. The fun thing though is adding filters to make your snapshots a bit more original. Iris can also be used as a covert monitoring tool if you're worried about your Mac being stolen or tampered with. Use Motion Detection and Email alerting to detect intruders and notify you, when you're away.
The fun thing about taking snapshots and videos is to share them with your friends and family. Iris not only keeps them well organized in a gallery but it also includes features to send them by mail, upload to Flickr or export to an Apple device like an iPod or iPhone. Again here the process is simple and quick and easy enough for any beginner.
Iris adds a bit of excitement to your iSight camera. Although the controls can feel somewhat limited, the application enhances the Mac webcam and in a way encourages you to use it.
Despite some limited controls, Iris empowers your iSight to take snapshots and movies, share them with your friends and even monitor your Mac.

Pretty good.
I downloaded the file, dragged it to wanted location, and opened the program
everything worked great(doesn't understand what this other dude here were having problems with), and it took about 1minute to get everything workingi chose settings, set the values i wished for, and i had my ip-cam running(witch i wanted)also, you need to write the whole adress + gate
example: http://192.168.1.79:8020/My only problem is that after a number of uses, it stopped working
It's probably just some minor problem, and something that'll go over soon
Pros:
Fast
Easy to use
RTR
Cons:
Crashes after a little while
requires moderate computer force & bandwith More

not SO easy.
I always find it interesting when a review of a software indicates "easy to setup". Easy for who? After several hours, yes hours, I have come to the conclusion this isn't that easy.I have been trying to use the software to get my iSight camera to broadcast as a web cam so I can look in on my dog while I am at work.The instructions for the webcam set up ASSUME you know something about assigning Ports, static IP's, & knowledge of how to pass information past a firewall. Several hours of web searches give you fragments of how to accomplish each of these tasks, unfortunately I did not find a comprehensive, inclusive set of instructions on how to do all I needed to get this to work.I have combed, unsuccessfully, the software vendors forum. This can not be new, I can not be the only person to ever try to setup Iris as a webcam. Why isn't a set of answers easy to find?As of the writing of this review, the webcam is still not broadcasting. More
