So, I added that to my laptop carry case. Fortunately, I have a mini-tripod that can leverage the 1/4" threaded hole on the camera for tripod mounting. If I had one complaint it would be the one that zillions of others have already expressed all over the Internet. We can see each other and show off the new clothes that we buy and stuff. It’s so awesome! We use Windows Live Messenger with the cameras. I bought two of the Philips web cameras and gave one to my friend so we could video chat. It went very well (even with me NOT following the instructions carefully.

I downloaded the driver and VLounge software from Philips’ web-site and used that to install the camera. I didn’t use the software that came on the CD accompanying the camera though. The picture quality is amazing and setup was a snap on Windows XP. This web camera was my second Woot! and I am very pleased with it. I’ll snag another if i see one on a woot-off. What the hell were they thinking? All things considered, it’s a very decent camera. Worst thing is the incredibly stupid base design. I think it’s safe to say those guys “magnuscartus” mentioned earlier in the discussion who tried using it on their foosball robot had problems due to the crappy laptop they were using. It has a decent focus range, getting close enough to use as a webcam for my Sea Monkeys. Audio quality is average, video quality is above average, and low-light compensation is much better than average. Of course, this drops substantially once i use it on any instant messenger (MSN and Skype tested). Both cases use XP-Pro SP2 and USB2 ports. At home, on my old and clogged machine (P4 2Ghz and slowed with many apps) it can squeak out a consistent 25fps (when the screen changes very few pixels full screen pixel refreshes bog it down to a blurry 10fps). On a faster machine like i have at work (quad core 2Ghz) i can get what appears to be a consistent 60fps to 90fps. Got mine a couple days ago, and i’ve been testing it on a few different computers.
