Digital camera reviews of Creative Webcam Live! Pro USB 2.0 WebCam
Digital camera Review: A nice camera but 4 Stars
be prepared to spend sometime how to use it!1. The manual was useless! You need to play around with the settings to figure out how to use some of the features.
2. The installation to get it up and running was fast and easy. The webcam control center was simple to use but lacked some information that was needed for remote monitoring and motion detection.
3. Go to the capture catagory to turn on the audio. Otherwise, no voice/audio for your videos or when used for instant messaging. Strange why that feature was turned off from the factory.
4. Go to your firewall/virus protection to turn off scans for outgoing emails with attachments. The motion detecting feature sends emails to your email address and adds a picture as an attachment to show why the motion email alert triggered. A nice feature when viewing from a remote location but your virus protection may believe some virus invasion has occurred and will block the emails. Blocking the emails will also delay the motion detection/scans from resetting after the initial alert and will disable the entire feature indefinately.
5. I am still figuring out how the remote feature works but that is a challenge that lies ahead. Not enough background information here to help guide you along smoothly. You need to enable a webpage for yourself so pictures can be uploaded to it by the webcam control center at specified time intervals. You can review the pictures from a remote location by accessing the web page. Another nice feature.
6. This is not a $500+ remote surveillance camera with pan/tilt/zoom features with outstanding imaging but it is good for a $50 webcam that has some security features along with standard webcam features.
I consider this webcam a keeper despite some shortcomings.
Summary of Creative Webcam Live! Pro USB 2.0 WebCam
Creative Labs Webcam Live! Pro - Whether you're video chatting with friends and family, or creating the latest YouTube masterpiece, this webcam has an impressive set of features that will make your videos stand out. Using the super-fast USB 2.0 interface, you can easily capture up to 640x480 resolution video at 30 frames per second. A lapel microphone is included to give your videos crisp and clear audio. Smart Face Tracking is an amazing feature that actually keeps your face in frame by tracking your movements. Making you more comfortable and making your videos look more natural in the process. 3-Way Base - good for CRT Monitors, Flat Panel Displays, & Notebooks Adjustable Manual Focus Ring USB 2.0 Connection (also supports USB 1.1 at slower transfer speeds) Works with instant messaging services like Yahoo! Messenger, MSN Messenger, & Windows MessengerYou best spruce up before you go online, because the Creative WebCam Live! Pro is a far cry from the mediocre webcams of yesteryear. Forever banishing those grainy, jumpy images of the past, the Creative WebCam Live! Pro features clean, detailed 640 by 480 resolution and 30-frames-per-second shooting speed for high-quality video footage that compares favorably with that of a pricey camcorder. No matter what your subject, the Creative WebCam Live! Pro ensures your audience will see all that you want it to see, smoothly and precisely.
One of the secrets behind the system's advanced functionality is its connectivity format -- USB 2.0. Being one of the first webcams to shed the shackles of traditional USB 1.1 speeds for the incrementally quicker USB 2.0, the Creative WebCam Live! Pro is simply able to transfer data at a far faster rate than cameras using the old standard. Moreover, its 640 by 480 VGA resolution is double that of a traditional 320 by 240 webcam. Creative has also equipped the unit with its new Face Tracking technology, whereby target objects are intelligently tracked even when they move from the center of the video frame.
Of course, no video is complete without audio. In that regard, the system sports a miniature clip-on microphone to deliver cleaner, more accurate sound than cameras with integrated mics. And you don't need to fret over installation hassles either -- the Creative WebCam Live! Pro features a convenient three-way base that allows you to position it on standard CRT monitors, flat panel displays, notebooks or any flat surface. Whether you're shooting footage or taking still 1.3 megapixel still photos, the Creative WebCam Live! Pro is an ideal online video companion.
