Rating: - Nice ONLY if you are running XP 32 sp2
Bottom line, if you expect to upgrade your OS forget this cam. It will not run under Linux. It will not run under XP x64 and probably never will. After two years of lead time it still only has beta drivers for Vista x32 (none for 64) which do not work and for which there is no tech support. Unfortunately the same can be said for most of the creative cam products. Unless you want to be hung out to dry buy some other brand.
Rating: - Ultra Cam
I liked the easy setup. No problems. I used a pair of cheap sunglasses and put them over the lens to view outside. Works great! Good price for a USB cam. The motion detection is not too good, trips off with shadows and changes of light. Overall good cam for the price.

After just 6 months of minimal use, the camera lost its green reception, so now there's a only purplish red and blue image. Tech support says send it in for a repair (shipping paid by me), though I don't think it's worth it. Also the software/driver conflicts with my Creative Zen mp3 player, and caused problems with start-up. I don't recommend it.
Rating: - No built-in microphone - this is for video only
I was surprised when I got this product. It IS for video ONLY.
All Logitech webcams I used before come with an integrated microphone. This one does need a separate microphone to talk through the net.
There is a tiny microphone in the package though, but I am really uncomfortable to hang it on my ear when I need to talk. Also, how can a headphone be shared by more than one person?
You may need to purchase a bigger microphone to free your ear up and/or to share it.
Rating: - The worst product ever
Disclaimer - this is my first webcam. It may be my last, if they're all like this one.
I ordered this product and received it quickly. That is the only good news. It is all downhill from there.
The installation froze and had to be rebooted twice before it would work. The second time it also froze, but I unstuck one of the reboots and got the other to work.
The camera itself does not securely latch to a flat-screen monitor. It falls off easily. The microphone headset ... Read More
