Had the same problem with this webcam, but now it is working perfectly!! Please read solution I got from Panasonic's TecSupport
February 17, 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase
Hello, I had the same problem with this webcam, I called Panasonic Technical Support, and they told me to download a firmware update in my computer, connect the FreeTalk Conference HD Camera USB cable to my computer, and run such update.
I connected the Freetalk camera to my Blu Ray player (Panasonic DMP-BDT310), and it is working perfectly. I made video call on Skype, the video as well as the audio are great.
For whoever wants to give it a try, here is the webpage:
[...]
On the right bottom you will see the download option, click on it and download the [Update your firmware(Size: 480 KB)] to your computer, connect the camera through the USB cable to your computer and run it, it will update your lates and the firmware your camera needs to run on you Blu Ray Player.
It is very likely that, while downloading the file, a Microsoft Firewall will tell you that this file has no certification and can be harmful to your computer, I downloaded it anyway and it upgraded the software in the camera as the Panasonic Technical Support representative told me. It is entirely up to you to do it, the thing I can tell you is that it does the job and I have the web camera working properly.
Enjoy your camera!
Have an awesome day,
Eduardo

Purchased this camera for use with Panasonic Blu Ray Player BDT110 and only audio is picked up when using with Skype program. Do not purchase this camera if you intend to Skype through the smart tv function on a Panasonic blu ray player.

I purchased the Freetalk TALK-7181 and connected to my Blu Ray player (Panasonic DMP-BDT310) running the latest firmware 1.70.
Like many other people on the Skype support page, I then realized I'd been ripped off. (Although Skype works and one can log in and hear audio, there is no video).
The camera cannot function for what it is sold to do, act as an HD webcam for a Panasonic BDT-310 and compatible Panasonic models including TV's.
On complaining to the manufacturer one then gets the 'pass the buck' scenario of Freetalk saying it's Skype's fault and Skype blaming Freetalk.
This is unacceptable because the product is advertised by Freetalk as 'Skype Certified' when it clearly is not.
Do not buy the TALK-7181 model if you have a Panasonic Blu Ray player with Skype function.
It makes you wonder why there is a TALK-7182 model......doesn't it?
NB: I bought this elsewhere, not Amazon. Just giving feedback for other people so they don't waste their dollars.

This product is a Scam and does not work w any Panasonic
Freetalk is not compatible with any Panasonic product. They offer no customer service and you have to contact them for approval for return. The problem is they never respond. Read more

Great HD WebCam
I use this for my mac mini and using a 60 inch Sony TV as the monitor. It works great on Skype and FaceTime. The only sad part is that it does not support 16:9 aspect ratio. Read more
