Pros: Cheap, performs basic functions well Cons: No frills whatsoever
Like the average computer user, I don't do a whole lot of teleconferencing or anything like that, so I don't have a whole lot of use for a PC camera. My father had a spare one that he had gotten for free with his new IBM laptop, however, and he asked me...
Pros: it's a webcam (and a darn affordable one at that). Cons: comes with useless software.
Yeah, my website gets no hits. Right now I don't really mind too much (I haven't been updating all that regularly and have began to work on a redesign recently), but there was a time where I was updating every day and getting no hits to show for it! So...
Pros: Takes great images Cons: does not work with all video conferencing programs
I got my IBM PC Camera about 5 or 6 months ago. To install it I had to go to their web site http://www.xirlink.com/ibmpccamea to download the software I needed. You do get a CD with the software on it, but it is only for systems running Windows 98...
Pros: easy to install, small, good quality pictures Cons: none
If I can install and run this little PC cam, then believe me, anyone can!
I have had this cam, called C-IT, made by IBM, for xirlink, for over a year now. I absolutely love it! It is small enough to sit on top of your monitor facing you, or you...
Pros: Quick delivery, inexpensive, simple to install Cons: Poor image, poor color, poor focus, and dangerous uninstall of software.
We got what we paid for, a cheap camera and something we didn't, dangerous software.
Background: We have a large family (7 children in 5 cities and 13 grandchildren). Video conferencing offers some real advantages as we are stretched from...
Pros: Decent software and drivers, captures decent still images during the daytime at close range. Cons: Doesn't function as well at distances or at night time, the camera is only plugged by USB at one end, it is basically a waste of money.
Review: IBM PC Camera
I had always wanted to do teleconferencing, or set up a camera on my computer so that I could create a webpage and have the page update itself with pictures of me taken every so often so that my friends could see....
Pros: Easy to use and set up, USB connection, software CD has a lot of stuff Cons: Only functions well as a videoconferencing device
For Christmas of 2000, my mother gave me the IBM PC Camera. My stepfather, who is a techie like myself, had recommended it. It wasn't totally an altruistic gift. It was intended so that we could use videoconferencing so that she would be able to...
Pros: Good for videoconferencing Cons: Limited uses, not always people to VC with
This camera is not great or superb, nor is it horrible. It is good at what it does, but there's nothing that makes it stand out from the crowd. Ultimately, if you want an inexpensive camera for stills or videoconferencing, this will work just fine....
Pros: Easy to setup. Made for the beginner. Cons: Grainy and constantly out of focus.
I work in an office supply store which allowed me to ponder for several weeks the PC Camera I wished to purchase. After consulting other employees and comparing the other cameras in my target price range I finally decided on an IBM PC Camera.
Pros: software doesn't take much space, ease of installation Cons: picture quality, video quality, video editing, video format (see review)
Requirements (from the box): Windows 98 or Windows 2000, a USB-ready PC, a 166MHz Pentium processor or greater, 16MB of RAM and 8MB of hard drive space. For some reason it also says that this camera requires an "Internet ready PC". I don't...
Pros: great quality, easy to use Cons: price, teleconferencing is very, very hard to get to work
This is a quick and snappy review of the IBM PC Camera. I have included only important details. If you would like me to elaborate on anything, just make a comment about it below, and I will try to answer your question. When I received this little camera...
Pros: cheap, easy set up Cons: poor quality, not a good value
While this product does what its advertising indicates, it is not really that useful because there are many superior cameras available now. I think the image quality is OK, but often times there are a lot of little dots that make the image look like it...
Pros: Nice Program Software Included Cons: it doesnt like AMD motherboard & Windows Second Edition
Initially, I purchased this Product because of the Name Recognition and the Price Point....along with a $10 rebate at the time I purchased it. This was to be my FIRST USB connection on my upgraded computer, and even though I followed the Installation...
Pros: Does its functions Cons: Low graphic quality, need sufficient light to work!
IBM PC Camera is performance for your money. A price tag of $29 will give all you bargain hunters a rest, however, for those hard, ardent webcam users; this is not enough.
Hard-rock users should consider the Intel PC Camera for its better...
Pros: Decent Price Cons: Poor images compared to competing webcams!
I actually bought two webcams the day I picked up the IBM PC Camera Pro. The store had a good return policy so the IBM and a Philips Vesta Pro went home with me. After some testing it looks like the IBM is going back to the store!
Pros: USB, cheap Cons: functions, controls, program
Yippie! I got a camera! It was only $60! Friends, I was young and stupid. I had saved my money all my life. I was now in college and this product had just come out and boy was it cheap! (Xirlink/IBM PC Cameras have been out for quite sometime.) I...
Pros: Price Cons: Quality, Software and Everything else
I can’t believe IBM slip this badly! I had been looking for a second PC camera for a while. Among many choices, the IBM PC Camera was reasonably priced with comparable features. Since I am a die-hard IBM fun, I decided to go with it. Then the horror...
Pros: Easy to set up and use Cons: Lousy picture, color, light compensation
I bought this sucker to talk to my friends and/or relatives with pictures, I haven't decided if I want to do this over the internet or straight telephone. I was going to give one to my cousin, and bought an Intel (with video capture) for myself. When he...
I can second the experiences others have had with this camera - you get what you pay for. The camera has horrible performance (5 fps or so) under anything other than full bright light, and even then any lighter areas (such as you face) will become...
Pros: Inexpensive.
Looks good in both brite and low light.
Cons: So So software package.
I've had my IBM PC Cam for about 6mos now and I have enjoyed it. There are much better(and more expensive)cams out there but if your on a budget this one does the job. I get good quality video as long as there is a good light source and compared to the...
Pros: Works ok Cons: Doesn't do what the box says it can do
The side of the box leads one to expect that this camera can do 640x480 video at up to 30 fps, but don't be tricked. A closer look (which you'll do after taking it home and being VERY disapointed) shows that the exact wording is:
Pros: Cheap, Easy to install Cons: Poor framerate, Poor Quality
Let me start out straight out: this camera was an impulse buy on my part, and I will never do that again! I thought, $30 for a webcam!? How can you go wrong? Well, I did. It really is true, "you get what you pay for."
Pros: Easy to use. Cons: Difficult installation if you ever change operating systems. Not very good software.
I've had my IBM PC Camera for almost 2 years now. It's a pretty durable piece of equipment. I have moved several times, and have dropped it even more times (I don't like putting sticky stuff on my monitor, so it falls) and it keeps on ticking.
...
Come on everyone knows that you can always trust the IBM company. They have been into making computer gadgets for now twenty long long looooong years. Ofcourse they know what they are doing. This camera looks slick and would sit right on top of your...
Pros: cheap, easy to use Cons: limited options, not the best quality
The only reason I got this camera was because it was free after rebate, so I can't really complain. But it did help me with some e-selling on eBay. Since I don't own a digicam, I used this to take pictures of products I was selling and, well, it did it's...
I was astonished when I first got this camera. It has excellent resolution compared to other cameras of the same price. As soon as I got this one home I knew what to do thanks to the exact directions that are also very easy to follow by and are...
I recently received a set of two of these PC Camera's. One will be sent to my mother, and we are keeping one. Installation was extremly easy. I, as usual, didn't read the instructions, just went straight to the install. Well, IBM seems to anticipate...
Bought it for $29 at Walmart. Returned it after one day. As some wiseman once said, if it doesn't do the job, no matter what you paid for it, it's very expensive. I think, this analogy applies very well for this IBM webcam.
Pros: Inexpensive and easy to install. Cons: Software/Drivers on CD don't allow camera to work properly.
I decided to by a webcam after seeing a friend of mine use his while chatting on Yahoo Instant Messenger. I thought it was the coolest thing. So I decided to buy a webcam but didn't want to pay too much. I found the IBM PC Camera on sale for $20.
...
Pros: Great Pics, Very Compact!!, cheap Cons: NONe aT All
Thanks to all the opinions about the IBM PC Cam!!! I went out yesterday to Office Depot and purchased it!! The pics that I took were Great!! And It was on Sale for $29.99!! That is very very very Cheap!!
I don't care what price you find this camera selling for, it is a rip off. The camera has poor image quality (especially in low light), is not compatible with many basic webcam software (it wouldn't work with netmeeting), and the drivers cause other...
I first bought this camera off of ebay for around $20, thinking that I couldn't be that bad, but I was wrong. Looks bad at 320x240 and over, frame rate not up to par, and drivers conflict with my motherboard (Asus KV7 w/sound. My sound stopped working)!...
Pros: Inexpensive, fair focus capabilities Cons: mainly a toy, not much practical use
I bought the IBM PC camera when I bought my computer just to complete the "package". I thought I would use it to some extent, but not a huge amount. I would recommend this camera to anyone who has a consistent, non-professional use for...
Pros: Cheap Price- Average Quality Cons: Won't Work with Win95C, Refresh Rate
Yes- It's a camera, packaged inside this small plastic case is a tiny USB camera. There was a sale and it costed my $9 after rebate. A plugged it in and installed the software. It was a cool little camera and took pictures and video at a maximum of 320x240. When moving the image would get blurry and would take a fraction of a second to refresh itself. But for only $9-it was a good value. It also included some cool extra software to play around with. It worked on My Win98 System very well, I tried it on a school network which was running Win95C, yes version C or Windows 95-On the box it claimed it would work with 95 A and B- no mention of C. I couldn't get it to work & no drivers were available for C on the web. If you have anything else on your PC 98/2000/ME this is a great value if you can get it cheap!
Its good, not so great... by jr101_dt3000 ,Dec 27 '02
Its good, not so great when its dark which is usally the case. Drivers are only for Windows 95/98, so you have to download the Windows XP drivers if you have Windows XP
