Installation is extremely simple from a hardware perspective.
Like any USB device, you simply plug it in and you're ready to go. Software installation is also very simple. The software is available for download , as the original QuickCam VC was released without the Mac software. The software installs an extension that allows your Mac to recognize the QuickCam and two applications, QuickPict and QuickMovie. These two applications do just what it sounds like they do, allow you to take still images with the camera or record a Quicktime movie respectively.
