Computer Webcams

Social networks may be a great way of keeping in touch with our friends and family that live miles away, not to mention the good old telephone, but nothing quite beats being able to see the person that you love wherever they are. If you buy a webcam for your computer, you will be able to have the best of both worlds, and chat to those close to your heart while seeing them at the same time. You will be able to see your cousin’s new baby from thousands of miles away, or chat to your children as they leave home for the first time to go to college, with your mind at rest that they haven’t shaved all their hair off and gotten a tattoo on their foreheads! It doesn’t matter where in the world the people you love are, you will be able to chat and see them with a computer webcam – and they can see you, too. Kelkoo has a list of online retailers such as Dell, HP Direct, Sears, Amazon and more. Have a look at what they have to offer and see how much you can save! ... View more - View less

Computer Webcams Buying Guide

Webcams are small-sized cameras that are similar to video cameras but allow you to produce ‘real time’ pictures while you are instant messaging, using the Internet, video conferencing, or using any other application requiring live visuals. This way you can stay in touch with your loved ones or with business associates whenever you like. You can also transfer images and videos by using webcams via the Internet. It is possible to buy webcams from a wide range of manufacturers, including Microsoft, Logitech and Panasonic.

Broadcasting with webcams takes place through streaming images or java form. When streaming images, they are constantly downloaded in a stream and produced in a video format. Through the java format, pictures are captured and refreshed at regular intervals by the broadcaster. Selecting a webcam might seem complicated until you learn about their various types and important features to look for. It’s good to know about their basic functionality before you get into the selection process.

Webcams can be classified as dedicated webcams, integrated webcams, security cameras/camcorders, and megapixel webcams. Dedicated webcams are the most popularly used ones. They just need USB connectivity to get connected and work efficiently. An example of this type is the Microsoft LIFECAM SHOW. Integrated webcams come integrated with electronic devices. Most laptops available these days come with integrated webcams as part of their design.

Webcams that are used for security purposes normally come with special additional features. They include additional lenses, daylight filters, focus/exposure adjustment settings, night-time effective viewing options and many other specialized features. An example of a security webcam is the Lightinthebox Wanscam Wireless Night Vision IP.

Megapixel webcams associate themselves with digital camera technology. They produce images with excellent image quality and are mostly used for shooting still pictures rather than capturing video.

Apart from the types mentioned above, webcams can also be classified based on their connectivity. They are categorized as Ethernet, USB, and wireless.

When choosing your webcam you need to look for certain important features that could enhance your webcam’s performance, picture quality, and its standard usage.

The webcam’s image quality greatly relies on the resolution rate and the camera’s frame per second capturing rate. It’s always better to pick a model that can support high resolution and record images in 30 frames per second frame rate because picture quality in webcams is greatly affected by Internet traffic and slow modems. Since image quality increases with high resolution, it’s good to go for webcams that can support greater image resolutions.

Most webcams have options to adjust their settings automatically for different lighting conditions. There are webcams that enable you to focus manually and also provide pan and tilt camera options. Check if your webcam can support these features before you buy one. Webcams also have integrated microphones that’ll help during live conversations while you engage in a video voice chat.

There are even easy-to-clip webcams available on the market. All that you need to do is to clip the webcam to your computer/laptop in order to use them. These webcams support a motion sensing feature that allows you to zoom and pan maintaining your face image inside the frame while you are moving. If you are a traveler, these are perfect: they are highly portable and can be stored easily in your bag once you’ve finished using it.
