There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
for a low cost webcam, I am more than happy with it, and hopefully, so are people watching my streaming.
Thankfully...I was able to buy a proper one without the rush... a few days later.
We bought this camera to keep in touch with our son at university. We went for the Lifecam HD 3000 as I had used this device previously at work and it was a relatively cheap camera.
In the box
Although the packaging for the Lifecam HD 3000 was quite bulky, the only thing in the box was the camera itself. No installation CD is required as the camera is plug and play, meaning that it will automatically detect and install the drivers when you plug it in to a free USB port.
Setting up the camera
As previously mentioned, all you need to do is plug the camera in to a USB port and wait a minute or two and the camera is ready to use. There is no additional software that ships with the camera so if you need to get photo or video capture software, you will need to source this yourself. If your primary use is for Skype or any other kind of social media video, then you will be ready to go within minutes.
Using the camera
Now several reviews have described problems using this camera with Windows 10. I have had no such problems and it has worked fine from day one. The picture quality of this camera is excellent as you would expect from a HD camera. My experience of the sound was that it was a bit low and I had to raise my voice to be heard at the other end. The base is very flexible, allowing you to either sit the camera on a desk or hook it over the corner of the monitor. My personal preference was the desk as the base did obstruct the screen slightly when placed on a monitor.
Conclusion
I would recommend this web camera for the recreational user. It is cheap, easy to install and offers quality images.
Installation on a PC (Win7 64bit) was much like any simple USB hardware, but for full driver and free Microsoft Lifecam software visit the Microsoft website and download the software (no registration required) it only takes a few minutes with a good internet connection. It is fairly easy to install and very easy to use the software, but you may notice that Windows update offers several minor software updates related to background software soon after installation. Without the Lifecam software the picture quality will be limited to 640x480 - with the software you get 1280x720 HD and 4xHD photo capture for still photo snaps. Lifecam is very easy to use so you can set the camera how you want it, low resolution if you have a slower internet connection or HD if you have a faster connection - if you have the resolution too high for your connection speed it will cause the video feed to break up and jump about instead of being smooth. If you want to edit captured video or make mini movies then also get the free Microsoft Windows Essentials package (you can choose which bits you install) the Movie Maker software is what you need for simple video editing and upload or sharing options (it isn't included as a standard with Win 7, like it used to be with XP, but it is much improved over the old XP version).
If you want to capture time lapse or video triggered by movement or sound then you will need other software such as the free software iSpy. iSpy allows you to use a webcam like the HD-3000 to monitor your home from a remote location or be alerted to activity in your home, such as a break-in or pets activity when left alone. The software is totally free and open source (no registration or email required) and they only charge a small monthly subscription for alerts, if you want to use that service. iSpy allows monitoring and recording from multiple web or wi-fi ip cameras, and allows individual settings and triggers for each camera. iSpy is easy to download, but needs fairly careful setup, but a good help guide is included and there many users on the web too. ispyconnect.com
The only limitation of this webcam I have found so far is one that affects all webcams - when using the camera in a constant record mode with any of the software available it appears to be limited to around 2GB file size, which on full resolution is about 2 hours or so. Other than that I am very pleased and impressed with this very reasonably priced webcam - it may take me a while to discover all that I can do with it. I would recommend the HD-3000 for most standard webcam uses and a few non-standard ones too!
