Wireless Webcam Review

Logitech HD Pro Webcam C910 with 1080p Video

I got this in the mail today. It came intact and I used it already. Its fun and very clear. It was an easy setup on my Windows 7 machine. It was ready to use in 10 minutes. I wish the cord was longer but it was an easy fix with an extender I already had. Now I only wish my friends and family would get one so I can see them better!

Logitech 2 MP Webcam Pro 9000 with Built-in Microphone

I use this daily for the microphone on Teamspeak while playing World of Warcraft. The sound quality is excellent. The webcam part is an added bonus for me.

TRENDnet SecurView Wireless Internet Surveillance Camera TV-IP110W (Silver)

Pros: decent motion capture trigger, web interface is pretty good. Mounting system is pretty flexible and works well.

Cons: Locks up about once a day. Default webserver requires active-x or JRE to enable streaming video, but MJPG is available (see below).

The solution to that is to plug it in to an outlet timer that cycles the power once a day. With that, works well.

tips:

Configuring wireless: when setting up wireless, make sure “upnp” is checked. If your router doesn’t support that, make sure to open the port manually, or you likely will not be able to connect to the camera wirelessly.

Accessing from non IE browsers: you probably won’t be able to access real-time video on non-IE browsers unless you have JRE installed on your device. To get around that limitation, use this URL: //server:port/cgi/mjpg/mjpg.cgi

Overall: very powerful device that has a few quirks.

Microsoft LifeCam VX-3000 (68A-00001)

I ordered this camera to use with Skype. I loaded the software as instructed and when I went to use it with Skype my family could hear me but not see me. I researched online to find out this camera is not the most compatible with Skype however I found a link recommended to correct the problem. After i uninstalled the software I used this link which went to Microsoft’s website and downloaded the drivers. Then I opened Skype and through tools then options I was able to verify the camera was working and set it as my camera through Skype. Now everything is working great.

This is the link where I found the download suggestion:
