1 out of 5 stars do not buy   March 10, 2010
M. Blanton (Spring Branch, TX)
We bought one and then purchased some for our children/grandchildren. Half of the time the Skype says "can't find web cam" and so we can hear, but can't see them. Who knows what has happened. I have been trying all night to get an answer. Once in a while, it works. We go to Skype, click on a name in the contact list, the screen shows where we can choose "make video call" and....

It is frustating.



4 out of 5 stars recomended   March 9, 2010
Abdelhamid Hammani (sarasota fl usa)

5 out of 5 stars works for skype- if you change the skype settings   March 8, 2010
Carrie L. Studebaker (Aliso Viejo, CA)
bought this webcam for skype- at first it worked for a second and then the other party could not see me. For some reason, I had to change the video settings to "accept video from everyone"- it worked just fine after that. Don't know why but it works now so??? I don't really sit next to my computer when using it- I'm actually walking around and my kids are playing quite far from the camera actually and my parents can see us still quite well @ a distance so I know it's a decent camera- microphone on the camera works okay up close but not quite as well far away- but I doubt that it was meant to be used from across the room so I can't take away because of that! HA Super for the money and better than the webcam on my mom's netbook :)


5 out of 5 stars Great camera that works OFB for Linux/Ubuntu!   March 4, 2010
Luis A. Cortes (El Paso, TX)
Many times it is difficult to find a web cam or other device that works well with Linux. This one is definitely not the case. I recommend this web cam to any Linux aficionado out there looking for great deal.



1 out of 5 stars crappy microphone - have to use earphones with the mic   March 4, 2010
Sergiy Klokov (Chandler, AZ, USA)
I tried to use this camera and talk without microphone, but idiotic noise cancellations system pretty much made my voice disappear. So I started to use my earphones with the mic. It's a common problem for HP web cameras because this is second HP web cam that I have.
