Logitech Quickcam Pro 9000 - Web camera - color - audio - Hi-Speed USB
I bought one for us and for my daughter, so that we could have SKYPE video conversations with my daughter and grand children. Although our computers were less than the suggested power, we were able to have full screen conversations at each end. I took my laptop with me when we visited, so that when I installed it at her end, I knew that it was working. My end on Vista (basic and home), her end on XP.
I have about 50 years of computer experience so grandpa did the installation. For some reasons when we called she needed to reboot her computer, we had to communicate by cell phone to know what was happening.
But after everything was going, the sound connection came in quickly through the Qickcam mic, then the video started up in about a minute.
The surprising thing was that I didn't see in the specs that the camera had followme as well as auto focus. So, the camera tended to move to the person closest or doing the most movement. On our end, it moved randomly between my wife and myself. There are options to turn off the auto focus that I assume will turn off the followme also. There is of course settings for the camera that allow you to manually move the focus and direction of the camera.
All in all the camera worked well, there is a little hook on the camera that allows me to hook it onto the top of my LCD monitor. There is a red light to show the camera is active, although I can run the camera without the red light coming on, so I disconnect the camera for privacy some times.
The mic in the camera works well for making local calls to stores without using the video using SKYPE out.
I wish it had some kind of stand so I could use it to video meetings, but I haven't tried that yet.Get more detail about Logitech Webcam Pro 9000.
