Mac users have it a lot better than Windows and Linux users because most Mac-compatible cameras tend to work right out of the box without any configuration. Ask any computer store what’s the most common issue customers experience, and they’ll likely tell you that it has something to do with cameras not working as they should.
Nevertheless I think it is good value for money.Cameras and computers seem not to like each other. Overall I am happy to recommend the camera, but the sound is a little disappointing and certainly not a strong point (hence the 4 stars rather than 5). I don't think the hiss is so bad that it could not be used, but on balance I have chosen to revert to the boom mike I already had. With the gain set so high, the level of hiss also increased. As expected I found I had to turn the gain up on the sound channel in comparison with the boom mike I had previously used (the web-cam mike is a lot further away from me than the boom mike). The pictures are adequately sharp and well exposed and the colours are correct and the picture is not excessively noisey - which ticks all the boxes for me. I am not sure quite what I was expecting here, but I am happy with the results. It seems to work well in quite low light levels, even with faces in shadows. I am quite happy with the picture quality. This is not a criticism, merely an observation, and something I hadn't considered before buying. This one only just fitted above my monitor and below the shelf above it. One generic point to consider with web cams is the space they take up above the monitor.
The software needed was automatically installed without the need of the original CD.
I have subsequently installed on a new PC running Windows 7 SP1 with no problems. The single lead is terminated in a USB plug.
I had no problems installing it on my PC (Windows XP SP3) by following the instructions provided.
