Since I also i nstall a MagicJack for Quadriplegics to have phone service, and that requires a headset to be worn just for the ease of use (Quadriplegics cannot hold a phone), I was concerned there would be a driver conflict between the headset microphone/MagicJack and camera microphone. All of that tested out very well with no problems. The camera came with sound and a host of other interesting programs to use. Plus, it's delivered to the house and I don't have to go running all over town to find what I need. This camera was perfect for three reasons the price was very good, the camera works very well, and it clamps on the top of a flat screen CRT for a good stable camera shot of the face. Essentially, the camera becomes their cursor to the computer and thus the world. The camera is used in a program that puts a dot on their face, and that dot then translates facial/head movements into cursor movements on the computer. I bought the Logitech QuickCam as a computer component so quadriplegics with vocal issues can have full use of a computer and internet. And when choosing a webcam I would stay with this brand in future - no more unbranded webcams! Read full review
I have already recommended it to two of my friends who ordered it. too narrow view-angle - i would prefer it took wider (when needed to record more people simultaneously video-chatting) with an option to crop when i chat alone. On low light coloring gets green (maybe it is adjustable - i couldn't find in settings)ģ. Somewhat bulky installation on CRT - the camera keeps falling from monitor.Ģ. Lots of settings and adjustment options - though not neeed usually - the camera adjusts these automatically.ġ. It can be put on flat surface, mounted on a LCD and notebook screens, put on CRT monitor (a bit not stable on the latter case)ģ. Nice color and light of the image on daylight and and normal illumination.Ģ.
easy installation (though there are two options on the official web site of logitech - the drivers and another software for some online options which you won't need).ġ. After my 2 month long fiasco with previous cheap "foot-shaped" webcam i wanted something solid (why not - with a well known brand name).
