Customer Reviews

Easy to use Mac OS X & Skype compatible webcam
I've been very happy with this webcam in the couple of weeks I've had it. I wanted a Mac compatible cam to use with Skype and this does the job well. The CD that comes with has drivers on that are easy to install. Then just plug the cam in (USB 1 or 2, although slower refresh on USB 1). Setting the video options in Skype was a doddle too and now I can make video calls whenever I want. The sound and image quality seem fine.

My only comments to balance the review is that focus is a manual affair, so you can be blurry if you don't get it right or move the camera about to look at other things - which the bendy stalk is handy for of course.

Also that whilst plugged in the bright blue light on the base is a bit annoying. Therefore I unplug it when not in use. If I then start Skype without plugging in the cam first, I have to set the video options again. This is no doubt a Skype issue, but if the silly blue light wasn't on, I wouldn't get into the situation.

Hope that was helpful. Justin

Quick and simple
The drivers for this webcam are very quick and easy to install on Vista. The picture is very clear and crisp on chat sites, the flexible stand is a brilliant idea- it lets you put the camera at the anlge you WANT, as opposed to most cameras, when you have to make-do with best angle you can get. The extension lead which is included is very useful.
I must also note the excellent service from the seller. I placed my order on a Friday morning, had the dispatch advice email on Friday afternoon and recieved the camera on Saturday morning. VERY impressive!

It's great.
I bought 3 of these and use them between countries. With a fast internet connection they work wonderfully. I really recommend this webcam.
