Summary: 1 Star is Too Much
Review: I've been using WebCams since 95, and have gone through tons of Cams since the Connectix QuickCam 1.0. That was a great little cam, and even the Color 2.0 rocked. After the USB hit the market and Logitech bought Connectix, they released the QuickCam VC. This was by far the worst camera I'd ever used.Tonight, I picked up a Veo Advanced Connect at a steal (clearance at a local store). It looks nice. But after plugging it in, I fail to understand how anyone could make a camera in this class which is actually WORSE than the QuickCam VC!! Even those pathetic little $8 Pen cams work better than this! Plenty of light, and like everyone else... RED. Having some experience with WebCams (CCD and CMOS cameras in general), I'm used to tweaking settings. The more I tweak with this, the worse it works. At a "resonable" level, the camera is too slow to pick up changes in expression, and if they actually turn their head, you won't see anything for several seconds. Now ... A lot of people might say that's what they expect, as they're used to lots of cams looking like this over a modem ... But I'm running this by USB 2.0 at 320x200, connecting over a LAN to another computer in the living room! I should have PERFECT clarity! I cannot stress enough how bad this thing is. In 60 watt lamp light, the best quality I can get is 1 second exposure at 1 frame per 3 seconds. This is so bad, I'm actually looking forward to the sorry 10 frames per second on the five-year-old QuickCam VC. You can find HUNDREDS of cams better than this Veo trash, all in the same price range.

Summary: Great feature set... for the price.
Review: If you are looking for the best "bang for the buck" this is a great find. If you are looking for a superior image, don't look in this price range. Installation is easy, and updated drivers are available. Plug it in and go! The image depends greatly on the available light... if you want to sit in a dark room and still get great images, try paying 10X. Even easier, turn on the light! Great product, all in one, for THIS price range (...).

Summary: just the basics
Review: If you don't want to spend a lot of money, this is a good choice. It gets the job done and the built-in mic performs very well. On the downside, the image quality is only average at best, with a low refresh rate, and poor performance in low light.

Summary: Beat my expectations.
Review: My husband bought this web cam for me for our anniversary. I was really excited to get it set up. I have had nothing but problems with the set up. All kind of error messages. I still have not been able to get it going. So I really do not know if it works very well or not since it won't install properly. I have never had any problems installing any products I have bought in the past. I am taking this back.

Summary: User's Guide/Instruction Manuals, not just for smart people
Review: Okay, for those of us with sense enough to read the directions . . . this camera will work great and it's a great price for everything that's included!
I installed it on my computer and had it up and running in no time (that's 15 minutes or less). Picture quality is good. It focuses easily. The built in microphone is quite effective. And the NetMeeting and other features are a breeze to use. I will be purchasing four more of these cameras for my parents and siblings to use as we are scattered throughout the country. With varying levels of computer competency among us I am not anticipating any problems with installation or usage. I suppose that's a pretty good recommendation. Now, for those reviewers who failed to read the instructions . . .
It says clearly, do not plug in the camera until you have installed the software - this message to the person/reviewer who got the blue screen of death.
And to the reviewer with the audio problems, you probably just need a new/updated soundcard. This too would be stated in the instructions, that your microphone volume control features may be disabled because your sound card does not support a microphone volume. The instructions for set up are incredibly simple and brief, the computer basically does it all for you.

Summary: Good picture quality; risky setup; inconsistent frame rate
Review: One has to be careful while installing this webcam. According to the instructions, plugging the camera in or out at the wrong time can crash the operating system. That said, the picture quality (640x480) is great. Sometimes the frame rate drops to (and not just by) 1 or 2 fps (instead of being 30 fps), which can be annoying, but won't make much of a difference while video-chatting over the Internet. The microphone is not so useful, because you have to get close to the webcam to make yourself audible.

Summary: Piece of Garbage...Don't Do It
Review: Sounds simple enough...install the software, plug in the camera. Wrong. You name a problem you can have with your Windows system, this product finds it and pulls the trigger...from 'Add Hardware' loops to missing drivers,...etc. You name. It's like installing a car accident. Stay away. You've been warned.

Summary: Doesn't Work Well
Review: The only thing I wanted to use this for was for my msn. Most of the time, my computer would freeze, and I wouldn't be able to use it. I know that it cant be my computers fault, because I just bought a brand new, comp, with tons of space, and it is very fast. The only thing I was able to use it for was taking pictures.
So if you want a webcam to take pictures with, get this camera, but don't buy it off of Amazon. I got this camera at Wal-Mart for $20.
