Advantages: flexible, 360° rotation

Disadvantages: -

I've been using this camera for about a year now and I am satisfied with its design and performance so I find it worth to recommend. Webcam is very usable at home because we use yahoo instant messenger to communicate with our relatives abroad. Since we have this A4 tech camera, communication is much better and definitely cheaper. Before, we are using email, 3G phone, or text messaging to communicate. But using this A4 tech webcam which also has a built-in microphone feature, we can now see and talk to my love ones real-time, at no extra cost on phone calls and international sms charges. My family can now stay in-touch as often as we want without much to worry about the cost to communicate.

What I like in this camera

A4 tech camera is bendable so you can rotate it at any direction. You can easily adjust the camera itself for a better view without you moving. Just rotate or bend the adjustable and bendable camera handle. I can also hide my camera if needed because of its sliding cover. It has a snapshot button dedicated to take picture in just one click. But I will not recommend it be used for picture taking because of poor image quality. It is only otherwise recommended for online camera sharing.

With regards to the image quality, it has a built-in auto adjust image feature which means the camera automatically adjust itself to be able to display best image possible.

Like what I said earlier, it has a built-in microphone, so you don't need to have a separate microphone when using a voice chat online. Just plug the camera to the USB and the microphone jack on slot.

Setting up the camera

The package contains a mini CD containing the product driver/installer. You must connect first camera to the USB slot and it will automatically prompt you to install the new found hardware. Just specify on the file location of the needed file. In this case, select the CD drive then click "confirm" to complete the manual installation.

Another way to install is open the installation CD and click the setup folder and run setup file. After successful installation, a window prompt will appear and ask you to click the "finish" button and replug the camera.

Looks like it probably wouldn't be suitable for a laptop though.
