Can I use isight in Parallels desktop for macs?

I have a macbook and downloaded parallels desktop for mac and was wondering now since the last update if I can use isight with parallels .

I'm pretty sure that Apple have downloads of drivers for things like the iSight for Windows, because if you install Windows via Apple's Boot Camp, then you can install a bunch of Apple drivers. The main snag is that, Parallels Desktop does not support emulation of USB 2, only USB 1.1, so the Driver doesn't work (It doesn't have enough power to actually support it). If you have a copy of Windows, then you could try Apple Boot Camp, or wait until USB 2 support is added to Parallels.

Hope that helps,

FCN Technologies announced that The United States Military Academy at West Point has selected Desktop Alert, Inc. for expansion of their alert and recall automation infrastructure.

The installation of the system will bring USMA in compliance with DOD 2000.16 (DoD Antiterrorism Standards, Standard 16), DA Regulation (AR525-27, Army Emergency Management, Chapter 6), and Joint Staff Integrated Vulnerability Assessment (JSIVA) recommendations (September 2006).

Essential for incident management at a command post is the ability to reach a significant number of people in a given area with Giant Voice speaker systems and Internal Alert Beacons. The enhanced system takes into consideration that individuals may not have electronic devices, be at a computer or hear a device ring if there is a large amount of background noise. This new feature of using Giant Voice and internal alert beacons increases the Alerting Solution capabilities provided by Desktop Alert.

This system upgrade of Giant Voice and Alert Beacons will supply the capability to provide real-time information to all building occupants or personnel in the immediate vicinity of a building during emergency situations. The system meets the criteria contained in the Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC) 4-021-01, Design and O&M: Mass Notification Systems.

Throughout the installation at West Point, various locations can activate prerecorded messages or send live voice messages to any location using radio, pop-up or phone messages. West Point, with the use of the enhanced FCN Total Alert Solution, has the capability to notify all first responders of specific building alerts, severe weather alerts, terrorist threats and much more.

"We are appreciative for selection of Desktop Alert and the FCN Total Alert Solution. Desktop Alert appreciates the opportunity to serve our nation's future leaders today with the tomorrow's next generation capability of mass notification. The Total Alert Solution incorporates modern communication devices to provide instant delivery of critical notification. This solution provides the Department of Defense with an affordable alternative to the much more expensive offerings from other providers. Desktop Alert is continuing to build a market presence throughout the United States, Europe, IRAQ, SWA and other OCONUS installations. Desktop Alert is emerging as the leader of fully capable and affordable mass notification technology," said David Zadick, President, Desktop Alert Inc.
