I was a beta tester as well and had no problems. However, my camera is wireless. I did try to use a very inexpensive Chinese camera that someone gave me. I was never able to get my iMac to recognize the camera. I played with it for three days, tried to get tech support from the manufacturer but nobody there spoke English and all the written instructions were for Micro$ft Windoze. Eventually I bit the bullet, purchased a brand name camera (Sharx) that worked right out of the box with no fiddling required. With webcams, you get what you pay for.
