We're using ours as a baby-cam, and the low light performance is much better than any others we tried.
small. 2. Took about an hour to install the program. I would like to say before I attempt to tell you my thoughts on this Webcam that I have never used one before, and I do not find that I should use it in the near future.
Here goes for you prospective buyers. Cons:. All in all it was as good a cam as can be expected from someone not expecting anything. video phone capable. very easy to use.
This is what I was telling you about. inexpensive. I put in the CD, and it had to download and install for over an hour before I could finish installing the software, which was only a cam program, nothing ostentatious and nothing complex. It starts up fast, and overall a very simple easy to use cam.
5. There was one thing, it was less than major but pretty annoying, which I will get too after the very fun Pro's/Con's list. So this is what I was expecting and that is what was delivered. Pros:. 4. 3.
And this is without installing the Windows Messenger service that it recommended. For what I thought it was and what it did, it did great but with a quip that was quite annoying and that is why I knocked off a star. easy to setup.
It worked for every purpose that I thought it would be good for (take pictures, video messaging) but it took an hour to install a minimal type program, which was uncalled for. It is a very small box shaped camera about a 2 inch square that has a very adjustable, flexible hook that can shape into just about anything to fit and grip it to anything you should please. It is, however, a very engaging little device.
All in all give it a shot even though it makes you work for it. The picture quality is as good as I would want it, much like cheap camcorder, and this is without adequate lighting. It looks like many a number of webcam shots around the web, low in the light department, light graininess, and not very sharp.

I bought one for me and one for my parents. Very easy to use, great quality for the money.
Bought each of my adult kids one for Christmas so now we can all video chat - for free. OK - the MS Lifecam VX-5000 is the only webcam I've tried (other than the $2000 Sonys I installed at work). Simply to install - nice quality picture - software is pretty straight forward. This is way cool - even a baby boomer can do it. For $35 or so its great.
Color balance not the best, though. Works well with Skype. Easily configurable base to rest on any monitor. This webcam was immediatewly recognized by the PC.
