I got it and the first thing straight away was - I had problems with installing software for that. And I work for IT! When I finally managed to complete it, I found out that quality of the picture isn't that good, it looks more like the very old, first type of web cams would give you.
Oh, and mic which goes together with the headset works only if you keep it very close to your mouth.
So, my advice would be not to get it, but see for yourself. :)

The philips 1.3 mega pixal webcam is a good quality but you can get better webcams for a bit more money. I paid £45 at the time near the end of 2007 and now when i done this review 13th March 2008 you can get a 5 mega pixal webcam for £65 so have a look around befor you buy.

Bought this camera recently only to find it was completely innapropriate for my purposes. I had intended it to be a public access webcam and after reading in the product description that I could "leave it wide open for the world to see" I assumed this would be possible. And it is, sort of, as long as you ignore the following points:
1. It will only allow 10 people to view the feed at once.
2. there is no way (without a lot of hassle and work arounds) to embed the feed to your own web page, You can only view it via its built in administration page.
3. You can't allow unrestricted access so it will always prompt for a username and password.
As long as none of these points matter to you then it's a decent ... Read More:
Delivery was well before the allotted time, only slight grumble is that you have no way of knowing when it is dispatched, may be due to it being a reseller. The cam itself was easy to install, just stuck in the CD and away it went. Only thing it desn't do is autofocus and no instructions on how to do this. Found out you just twist the dial on the camera itself. Once I was in focus and all drivers were installed I made a skype call and it worked great. Would recomend this to anyone wanting a cheap WebCam for a laptop.

This is the first time I have bought a webcam, which I wanted to use to try making video calls using my laptop. I didn't want to buy the cheapest camera but didn't want to invest too much either since I'm learning how to do this stuff; so this midrange camera seemed like a good choice.
The camera is very handy and I think the image quality is good. It is tiny (about 3cm by 6cm) and comes with a small pouch so it is protected when you pack it away with your other laptop stuff. The camera has a manual focusing ring which you have to turn so the image is nice and sharp - this worked well. (The clip is good for a laptop screen but I think it would be a bit too narrow for a flat desktop monitor, for which I would recommend the Logitech ... Read More:

Lets not even talk about the headset that came with it; that just went in the bin straight away. The cam itself seems good enough, but the software is terrible, the installation is rude (installs all sorts of AOL and Yahoo crap without asking), and the camera is simply BAD in an indoors situation without shedloads of natural light booming in. It works fine outdoors in the summer sun, or with a spotlight over your head while being used, but bar either of these it's not a worthwhile buy, as not only does the picture suffer, but so does the framerate.
Stay away, and buy something else with your money.
