Advantages: Cheap does everything it says on the box

Disadvantages: Cheap made Cheap microphone installed

I keep this camera as a backup to my everyday web cam.
The Trust 2 mega pixel camera is a fabulous device that has really clear video picture quality and at 25 pounds is pretty cheap compared with the kit that comes with this device.
The camera is full colour with a fixed zoom and focal length giving you 25 frames per second it will not disappoint you. The camera has a microphone built into the device that although does pick up your voice I have found it to be Tiny at times and not clear unless you sit quite close to the camera.

The camera connects to the computer via UBS which is the industry standard now a days although I have found that the USB lead supplied with the device isn't very long but this was resolved in a quick trip down to the local IT store.

Installation was easy Windows picks up the new device when you insert the UBS cable and installs the correct drivers we didn't need to use the supplied CD.
The camera although works well doesn't look or feel hard wearing and a few drops upon the floor would probably do some damage so extra care would be needed if you were to purchase this device.
One other thing to note the packaging is hard plastic and it was quite difficult to remove the camera if you have any kind of disability.
The camera works well with Skype and other VOIP services and I feel that this camera would do well in most households. In conclusion this camera is cheap has some good specifications for the money and works well under all broadband conditions. Installation is quick and I was using Skype Video in under ten minutes of opening the box I would recommend this product to anyone.

Summary: This is a good starter Webcam the audio is a bit to be desired and the build quality could be better
