Summary: Cam works but streaming software needs to be removed
Review: Clarity is great. Connection is quick and easy. Works in XP like a charm. All the software with exception of the video streaming software seems to function. Teveo is packaged with this unit and it doesn't seem to be functioning - the company Teveo doesn't host their site anymore for live video streaming so don't count on using this software. Not many USB 2.0 cams on the market to pick from and the couple I looked into both had Teveo packaged with it. Downloaded some free webcam streaming software and camera operates great. Noticeable difference from old Logitech USB cam. You can easily purchase streaming software online- but that was sorta the point - to have a fully functional package. Orange Micro didn't take ownership of the issue when I asked for a replacement streaming software or recommendation.

Summary: Useless
Review: The image quality is poor -- even in a well-lit room. Images are blueish and grainy.

What is more important however, that it gives a detailed view of your eyes OR your forehead OR your mouth -- but not your whole face. To bring the whole face into the shot, one must place the camera about 6 feet from the target (you). That is one must buy an additional desk just to set this camera at a proper distance from you.

Tech support is poor: blame everything on USB ports manufacturers.

Summary: Poor Performance
Review: The manufacturer sells this item based on good hardware specifications. Although the webcam does work on USB 2.0, it performs very very poorly if you have USB 1.1.

Assuming that you are using USB 2.0, the webcam still disappoints. In particular, the drivers and software for this webcam are poorly written. No white point configuration, no zoom control, etc.

Review: this usb 2.0 camera rocks. it is soooo much better than my old webcam. perfect for msn messenger. once I set up newer software the camera worked much better. After install: 1)download the newer ibot drivers (link on install menu) and 2)install newew AMCAP software (free little ms program)for setup and capture. i use (free) ms moviemaker 5.1 to create in windows media 9 format. truly excellent video quality and certainly worth the $.
