To get your FocusDent intraoral camera to work with Mac, just follow the instructions below:
1. You will need a Mac running OS 10.4.9 (Tiger) or higher. Your Mac will automatically recognize the USB dental camera, so you won’t need to use the included CD (which only has Windows software). Instead, you will use your intraoral camera through Apple’s pre-installed imaging programs, either Photo Booth or iChat.
2. Make sure your Mac is powered OFF, and plug the camera into a port on the computer – not the keyboard port because a keyboard does not deliver enough power to run the camera.
3. Turn ON your Mac, locate the imaging software (we recommend Photo Booth), and open the program. Select the “Camera” tab in the program’s window. Select “USB camera” as your camera in the software properties. The camera should now be transmitting an image to the Photo Booth screen.
4. Press the Power button on the camera handpiece to take a photo and then press the “Image Capture” button in the Photo Booth program window with your mouse to actually save the image. Move the saved image to any directory needed.
