WebCams in general

After purchasing a webcam on the assurance it ran off the parallel port, i had to go and buy a USB card. Yeah - great. I wasn't that bothered at the time, webcams rock. Or so I thought. There are a lot of problems with the webcam in general. They reqire a position on the top of the monitor, where they regularly fall off, they require the computer to be closer to the monitor because the cable's too short, and they are really slow.

i recently purchased a dexxa web cam for just £20. The quality is fast and excellent and the web cam is very reliable. It has motion detection software and also the ability to record video e-mails and take pictures. This webcam is an exact copy of a logitec one which costs around £50. This product is excellent and is well worth the price. The webcam can be placed on top of your computer monitor and as well as looking good, it is good.

So you are looking for a web cam. Besides the more bizarre uses for a web cam you can use it for about two useful and non-gimmicky things: 1: Take snapshot stills using that camera as a poor-man’s stills camera. 2: Stream video in a conferencing session (such as NetMeeting). The following is all you should need to know to make and informed choice: >>Bandwidth<< The first consideration is that the major use for most people is video conferencing. Unfortunately video conferencing is quite bandwidth intensive. Which means that if you have a relatively slow connection such as a phone lined 56K modem you have going to have ...  Read the complete review
