Cons: Picture quality is what you'd expect for an entry level web cam

Summary: Low light setting works amazingly well, easy to install. For better picture quality, you may want a higher end model.

If you just have basic web cam needs, this is the one. Much better than some others that i have tried.

Surprisingly good

by weatherman109 on December 20, 2007

Pros: Great picture quality for what it is. Has a reasonably good quality feel about it. Supplied software reasonable. Had the unit up and running in no time. No hiccups at all.

Cons: Would like a longer cable. One supplied is only 6ft. No mention of having to focus the camera in the instructions.

Summary: A real surprise package. Wasn't expecting much but bought it for $1 at a promotion by a local computer shop. Figured it was worth wasting a $1 just to ...

Summary: A real surprise package. Wasn't expecting much but bought it for $1 at a promotion by a local computer shop. Figured it was worth wasting a $1 just to try it out. Sound is a little quiet but I might need to adjust some settings. Picture can get a little grainy in low light but works surprisingly well in next to no light.
Was told I would need to download Vista drivers but found these included on the installation CD. Just load the CD, install took a couple of minutes, plug in the webcam and away you go.
