The video is very crisp compared to my built in web cam. I purchased this to host a ustream.tv web cast and it worked great. Its very wide angle as you would expect with a web. The auto focus is a little bit slow from time to time but it’s very infrequent. On board mic is very sensitive but can be turned down.

The LifeCam provides an amazing image for a little camera. The webcam fits easily on a computer monitor and produces a clear and concise image. Plus it is very easy to set up. With the LifeCam you can have videoconference calls with your contacts around the world.

I bought this to live-stream a monthly lecture series that I curate/host. I should have read the specs — not compatible with my Mac laptop! (Duh, Joe, microsoft is in the name…) but I was able to connect it to my Lenovo lickety-split. The picture quality was great (better on the backup recording than the livestream, for obvious reasons) and the sound quality was surprisingly good! I already recommended this product to several friends. Great value and quality!

This camera is a simple yet powerful upgrade from the previous most powerful Microsoft webCam. I use it for teleconferencing and all partners realize and appreciate the excellent image at the other side. Installation is immediate if a previous MS camera was installed.

I bought this camera for my 62 year old mother to allow her to video chat with me. The setup was a breeze and it comes with some really fun software that lets you put crazy effects on your head and it tracks your face so it looks like you’re wearing the cheesey afro or cowboy hat etc. It’s really fast and high quality if you don;t use any of the interpolation or light adjustment features, otherwise it’s a little slow to autofocus and adjust for light changes. it is however FAR better than any other desktop webcam at this price range as far as sound and video quality.

The camera was as expected but it was not in the orginal packaging and the CD with the PC software and owners manual were not included. I borrowed the software from another camera owner to compelte the installation.

I use the product on my 1080p Sony TV with Skype. I talked to family while sending images of me with both my young sons. The microphone sent clear voice and the video was able to keep up two little guys on the move.

My brother owns it and recommended it to me. We are both very satisfied with this product. Images are way better than our old webcams and the special effects brought a lot of fun in the family.

Installed the camera’s on 2 each Windows 10 systems. I did get a notice that I had to update a file (can’t remember what it was), but all went well. We will mostly use this for Skype, with a Desktop PC. This was a good reminder for my wife to clean up her book case behind her! 🙂

This camera is sleek and stylish and solidly built. The small size gives you the ability to take it anywhere, and the picture quality is the best that I have seen. Setup in Windows XP is a breeze. Very easy to use and takes just seconds to attach and you are ready to go.

all features are great, especially the automatic exposure. A few video issues at higher resolution. For the price, could have a better mic.

Simply, plug the USB to the Computer and most modern up to date computers should already or automatically install the drivers necessary to allow for the camera to operate. This camera has helpped me reach many of my friends and family. The mic is good, no one ever has asked me to speak up, very unique device
