Why I bought my Microsoft LifeCam :
We have a son who works in the Emirates and by far the most economical way to keep in contact with each other is by using a webcam.
At first we thought that it may be either difficult to install or use,but those fears were soon laid to rest !
The LifeCam is easily installed and easy to use.
Not only we enjoy hearing him and getting his news,but we can see him at the same time !!
The quality of the sound and picture is fine,though the camera does time out on the odd occasion.
A good investment for anyone who has a family member living far away from home.
