5.0 out of 5 stars Great Features, Great Price, Great Cam...Works as Surveillance too!, June 14, 2008

By	Robert Richard Amato - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Length:: 3:26 Mins

My main use for this camera is Surveillance. Let me explain....

I use this camera to scope out my back yard during the night. Within the included software, you can set the Motion Censor to capture people, objects or anything else that moves. When the object or person crosses within the field of vision of the camera, it will automatically start recording onto your computer. Now, I suggest using a motion censor light to brighten the area you would like to view because the Auto Bright setting on the camera is just ok. The camera does not see in the dark well if not at all.

Now thats my personal use. Obviously you can use this camera to chat with friends, or post videos on youtube. I use this camera for so many different things its amazing!

By	Jurgen H (Beaverton, OR USA) - See all my reviews

This is a fantastic webcam with a great set of software tools. I use it for conference calls where we share whiteboards and the picture quality is fantastic. Also Skype allows you to do high-def video calls with this camera. Highly recommended with very good price / quality ratio!

4.0 out of 5 stars Very Nice But..., January 23, 2008

By	S. Keefe (Phoenix, AZ USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This camera provides a very good picture but mounting it is a challenge. It doesn't sit on top of a flat screen monitor and if you use the pedestal you have to put it up on a 12" stand in order for it to be in front of you. The only other choice is to have it off to the side, but then your guest thinks you're being rude by not looking at them. It's like when the news anchor is looking at the wrong camera.
