Networkcamerastore.com sells the top brand names in IP webcam software. The price range for these systems range from $170 and up.
I recommend you a simple software which meets you basic needs. Webcam Capture Studio is a webcam recorder software, it simulates a virtual webcam, when you have a Skype chat just do some settings. You can Google it or cope the URL here, and then paste it in your address bar.
Your webcam should have come with it's own software. If it didn't, then follow the instructions that came with it. If you don't have them, then try searching the internet for that specific webcam..

I went with EyeSpyFX's webcam software. It's worked really well so far. I'm using WebcamXP webcam software, and it's been great.
The effects are provided by the software being used by the webcam. With the right software any webcam will produce special effects
The webcam on a Mac is controlled by the software using it. Launch Photobooth, Facetime, iChat, iMovie or any other software that requires the camera and it will be activated.
If you have a built in webcam to your computer you will probably have a software in it where you can take pictures and videos. If not I'm pretty sure you can buy a software.

your webcam should have came with a CD to download your softwear.
if the webcam has come with the computer, it turns on by itself when you use a software that requires you to use a webcam. Otherwise, if you want to turn on the webcam (just simply) you have to get a software like CyberLink YouCam or any other software you like.
this can be for many reasons such as software issues or hardware try reinstalling the software for the webcam such as the drivers also look for updates to software off the manufactures website if all that fails it may be a software issue
