Labtec Webcam

Mar 16, 2003 - By Amazon Customer

I was very pleased with the compact and simple design. The picture quality is excellent,considering the budget price. I found the installation procedures easy to understand and fairly quick. The software package that is provided with the camera is very user friendly. The only draw back is the base of the camera, it is quite small and the movement available is not that great.

Great camera but with its faults

Oct 19, 2003 - By Mr Leigh-Antony Davis

Good points
- Good quality video (especially in Yahoo messenger)
- Easy to focus using lens
- Simple set up

Bad points
- Terrible design, base isn't weighted
- 640 x 480 still pictures are dreadful
- Colours are often wrong

Great webcam, but don't think about using it for photographs!

Very good

A bought this webcam so i could chat using netmeeting. It is perfect for this although the video quality isn't that great. It works best with a fast connection as there is no lag and video is smooth. Overall very good!

great intro to webcams

May 27, 2004 - By A W Burton (Leeds)

Regardless of what anyone says- i cannot fault this webcam- using msn messenger, works well. The software is simple and effective. Motion detection quite novel. The colours and brightness are adjustable and user friendly. It is basic and lightweight, but considering the price- cant complain. Often we have less problems with the simple things in life.

Labtec Wecam

Mar 7, 2004 - By Amazon Customer

A very cheap webcam but dont let that put you off, the picture quality is excellent and I have found a way around the problems of the slightly flimsy base - a couple of pieces of blu-tack stuck to the bottom, weighs the camera down nicely and it doesnt move at all! Very easy to set up and use, integrates perfectly with windows xp and msn messenger - I guess the main reason people buy webcams, why pay any more when this does the job perfectly!
