It should work, but then again, the drivers included with the camera are not the drivers that you are using. You could try using the demo of these drivers:

which may/not have better support for your camera.

Maccam's website says you can lower the frame rate/quality of the camera, which may help with your signal getting through. They also list these general troubleshooting steps:
Quote:
: Check your USB cables. Restart macam. Unplug and replug the device. Make sure you have the latest version of Mac OS X. Connect the camera directly (without USB hubs) to a built-in USB port of your computer (not to a third-party host adapter). Check in the release notes, the latest news section and the notes on your camera if it is a known problem.

If you happen to have a camcorder with firewire/iLink, you can hook it up, and OS X will use it as a webcam without any third-party drivers (generally).
