Customer Reviews
Logitech QuickCam for Notebooks is for the basic needs
I use this web camera with Dell Inspiron E1505 notebook. The quality of the picture is not the best, but it does its job: you can tell the features and shapes of the familiar things and people on the other side of the line. I use it to communicate with friends via Skype. Sometimes there is a stripe of undeveloped color that goes through the middle of the screen. I attribute it to the camera itself because I don't have anything like that happening on my other Logitech web cam that I use with my PC. I paid around $30 for QuickCam. Do not pay more for it.
Great starter cam
I bought this Cam after installing an extensive videoconferencing suite in work so that I would link in via an IP link. From my home PC I loaded up the disk, plugged in the camera and was away. One of the easiest pieces of equipment to use. The software bundle gives you all the links to the main providers and so you can be yahooing or skypeing in minutes.
The quality of the cam is obviously not the same as cams with an extra zero on the end but it is great for home use and gives you free video connectivity.
Ease of use/installation 10/10, Value for money 10/10, Lens quality 7/10.
It says Vista compliant on the box, but you will need to download a patch before plugging in the camera (I used it on XP).
None of the main providers provide IP connection software, but it can be found on the net with a simple search.
Disappointing
Very disappointing results from this camera. For about the same price the microsoft camera blows this away. Terrible video quality, horrible lag. the good reviews on this camera must be from people who have no comparison to a good one. Logtitech should remove this from there product line. Don't waste your money like I did.
