2.0 out of 5 stars Expensive and not worth it., December 1, 2006

This review is from: HP VGA Webcam with Integrated Mic (Personal Computers)

This is a rebadged Micro Innovations webcam that you can purchase for much less if you skip the HP name and get the Micro Innovations webcam. This camera is a pain to install and the picture / video quality pales in comparison to other webcams in its price range. I bought one of these with my laptop, but I went back to my old Intel PC Camera I bought in 2001 because it took better videos.

Overall, this is a very generic camera selling at a premium price. Sound recorded from the built in microphone sounds like it was recorded in a soup can.

Drivers for the webcam can not be found on HP's home page, however they can be found at Micro Innovation's website [...]

1.0 out of 5 stars Poor performance, July 28, 2007

This camera doesn't work properly, The video is very dark with normal indoor light, and the microphone is weak. I tried downloading the drivers from the HP website and still got the same performance.

I am very dissapointed.

This review is from: HP VGA Webcam with Integrated Mic (Personal Computers)

This is the first web cam I have used, so I don't have a baseline for what type of performance to expect. That being said, it delivers a good picture and it was very simple to setup, no drivers even needed for my XP setup. Word of caution, don't use the built in microphone if you already have one installed on your machine. I agree with the other review that commented on the un-sturdy base. Conversly, I did not have the problems with installing the camera.
