Picture quality on these webcams are fine when there is enough light, but the images will get noisy during the night time (just like other webcams with CMOS/CCD sensors). Frame rate on the 1280*960 resolution at 1.3 mega pixel will drop to about 15fps on a 2.0Ghz CPU desktop. In addition, the "face hunting" feature allows you to zoom into people's face automatically.

Pros: It is a cheap webcam.
It has a build in microfone.
It switches the LED's automatic on if there is not enouf light.
It use's normal visible white LED's so no IR.
You get a CD with drivers for windows.
The lens is covered with a cap so it cant be dammaged during transport.


Cons: The installation of the driver was a bit tricky but it works now.
It has only a resolution of 640X320 not the 1.3MP what is said.
Not for filming outside, if there is to bright sun.


Other Thoughts: This webcam is great for home security.
And whit sound.


Bottomline: a cheap great webcam does what it is supose to do.

Overall Rating: starstarstarstar

Pros: - Very cheap
- Image quality is OK
- On dark places, it becomes black&white all can see almost everything - cool
- Mine came with CD Drivers and worked OK on Windows


Cons: - Does NOT work on Linux, because it's a MICRODIA Chipset, and there is no official support nowadays for that, unfortunately. BUT you can google for "microdia linux" and you will find a lot of tutorials, and maybe this webcam can get to work someday :)
- The lights does NOT work at least on both I've bought)


Other Thoughts: It's nice if you use Windows, but also don't expect a hight quality webcam, because it's not.


Bottomline: Worth buying it.
