Questions & Answers

Shopper : Does this work on 2013 models? If not what does?JOHN M : See no reason why it wouldn't work. It works on mine which is a 2012FAHD Y : it will work with all newer high end models starting from the 2012ERIC F : I have the following TV and it works with it: LG Electronics 47LA6200 47-Inch Cinema 3D 1080p 120Hz LED-LCD HDTV with Smart TV and Four Pairs of 3D GlassesROSENBLAD, A : I really don't know if it will work, or not. I do know that it took forever for LG to make this camera available for our TV (LG 55LS5500) in 2012. We purchased the TV specifically for the Skype feature and then couldn't use it until they manufactured the camera, which was more than 6 months after our purchase.MICHAEL Y : yes it works however, sometimes we have issues with sound and video quality.
antonio s : is it compatible with Lm62...series?INGRID S : Not really sure as we have a 55LM7600. Best Regards
Shopper : we cant get it to work. just bought it set it up plugged into usb 2 red light came on but we cant get it on the screen whats going on?MARCI R : I just plugged in and went to the home screen and went on skype app and it worked fine.STEPHEN P : You may find that only one of the USB ports on the TV will work with this camera. I had three USB ports and only the last (number 3) would accept the camera.BARRY W : Did bring Skype up, once Skype is up and you're logged in it should work fine.PAUL W : Your problem may be that you are accustomed to "plug and play". As I recall, you have go to the home menu and download the software package for the camera to function. The download, if memory serves, will prompt you when to plug in the camera and will also run you through a series of tests to make sure everything is working properly. Be sure to remove the plastic covering the lens.....I only mention this since I did not notice it at first and the resulting picture was fuzzy.

Great camera, but problematic if you use external

It is a very good camera, but if you use external sound system like I do, you are very likely to run into issues. Every time I used the camera, it would reset my sound system settings from external sound source to internal speakers. It basically switches/reverts the TV configuration to the built-in speakers. All of a sudden my sound system would refuse to work and It took me a little while to figure out what was happening. I have an excellent 7-1 sound system that runs all my equipment, I got tired of having to go into the TV configuration and resetting things every time I used the camera, so I returned it to LG.

Doesn't support with camera Apps

I have LG LN42577S-ZK Smart TV so I bought the video call camera It works great as it function very good but it does not support with camera Apps to make video/picture as it supports only LG AN-VC500 and it says on the manual LG LN42577S-ZK that you can purchase only LG AN-VC400

Great system

This camera is easy to use. It is also sleek and quickly attached to the top of the television. It blends in so you barely notice it is there. The picture and the sound is fantastic. It is definitely worth the money to see and be able to talk to the children and the grandchildren.

Problem when camera is selected on my LG TV

When I go to settings on my LG TV, and then click on camera, I get a message that "the connected camera does not support video/picture. Please connect AN – DC 500 that supports video/picture."And yet, when I go to Skype, the camera works.

Great picture

The product came timely and well packed. It was very easy to install even for someone like me- not tech savvy person. All our friends we have contacted via Skype are commenting on the picture they see. We are very pleased with the camera and its functions and overall ease of use!

Great Product. Can be better

We love using this for Skype call. But there are things that can get better. -- The Skype menu takes 50% of the screen and wont hide. -- There is no left and right swivel options on the cam. Other than that its great product. Smooth and easy. I just saw AN-VC500 available. I might have bought that instead. :

Love it!

I wanted to find a camera for my LED TV. Tried a different type of camera before purchasing this one. Out of all the camera's trying, I recommend getting this camera for your TV if you wish to Skype through there. I tried the product out the night I received it. The person I was talking to on Skype, said that we came out crystal clear and the quality was excellent. The set up was very easy to use. I just plugged it in, the TV recognized it right away and we were able to Skype with no problems. If you have an LG smart tv, I highly recommend get this camera to Skype through the TV. I have tried other video cameras for my TV and this one has worked the best so far. I love LG products and will stick with them for anything. I like the LG because you pretty much have to have LG products for the other LG products that you have.

Very useful add on

As a user who lives and works on the Internet, being able to use Skype on my TV is a very useful tool. The camera works flawlessly for communicating with family and friends. I am now working on getting the "motion" function of my LG Smart Tv to also work with the camera. This is my first experience with LG products and I couldn't be more pleased. No need to look elsewhere for electronics.

Decent product, only used 1 time

I bought a smart lg tv and waited about a year before buying the tv camera so we could all sit in the living room and talk to out of town relatives. Well on christmas we set up our Skype and called the family. Not sure if it was because of the holiday but we kept freezing up and ended up going to the computer and face timing and it was much more clearer on FaceTime then on the tv. but is was fun to see on the big screen tv. Wish it worked like FaceTime and not just on a Skype acct. overall its fun to have, not sure how much use it will get.

Outstanding LG Video Camera

I just had to do a write up on this video camera, because it is a Outstanding product that compliments the TV along with its smart feature. The camera was very easy to install, fired up the TV and followed all the steps as shown, Bingo we had Skype connections along with sound. we did a couple of dry runs with it with our other computers in our home and then made some long distance Skype calls to Georgia and Arizona. The connections and sound matched the timing of the words spoke by the Skype contacts....no delays and picture quality was again Outstanding. The cost of the camera was worth every penny in our eyes. I hope this will help you make up your mind on a purchased. Have a Outstanding Day!

This product is great.

I bought this product so that my wife could communicate with our grandchildren in Butler, Pen. Now instead of just seeing pictures, she can talk and see them live.

Great Camera

I end up using it with my computer as it's not compatible with LG Blue-ray as I was told by LG sellers. Picture and sound is great and I recommend it for LG smart TVs.

Cool TV Camera!

My brother and I bought this camera for my mom to use with our LG Smart TV. I am in the US Virgin Islands right now and my brother is going to Madrid. We thought it would be cool for my mom to be able to skype us from the TV. The camera seemed to work well during our test run skyping each other around the house. We'll see how it works for communicating from abroad!
