Pros: Astounding image quality, incredible compensation for low-light environments, can run multiple cameras Cons: Driver software from 3Com could use a bit of work
For quite a while, I have been using Logitech quickcam cameras on my computers ... thinking that their standard images were acceptable and "Hey, it's just a $99 camera, what can one expect?" Well, I'm happy to say that 3Com has raised the bar for all...
Pros: Beautiful quality, fast frame rate, 640X480 res video, great in low light Cons: software isn't too great, 1 installation problem
I just recently bought a 3Com HomeConnect web cam for me and my girlfriend so we can keep in touch while she is away at college. I bought the camera solely for that purpose, just to use as a video phone. I chose the 3Com after reading many reviews on...
Pros: A lead pipe cinch to install and get running. Cons: You can easily get hooked on the worldwide video communication.
USB devices are starting to appear, and they sure simplify life for the typical PC user. The 3Com Home Connect is a digital camera and set of software that really allows you to multiply the fun and utility of your PC. I am really excited about these...
Pros: Good Picture, Easy to Use and Install Cons: Minor Personal Problems Mentioned in Review
I purchased this camera upon entry to college. It was a necessity in my life since I was going to school in Texas and leaving my boyfriend home in Pennsylvania. A webcam would be our only way of seeing each other!
Pros: compact, USB, easy to use, good image Cons: that irritating grey screen
When 3Com finally released a digital pc camera we all wondered how it would fare. Well after having used a few of these things (from decent brands to some questionable ones) i'd have to say that its a thumbs up with this one. That is, as long as you...
Pros: Small, easy to set up, good quality picture for the price Cons: Maybe a bit pricey
As visitors to my website know, I've been doing the webcam thing for a little while now. I had a Logitech cam going for a few months, and although it did the trick as far as getting a picture of me online went, it wasn't really all that great a picture:...
Pros: Works well in low-light conditions. Cons: Unrealistic skin tones.
Recently I bought Intel's Webcam pro. Was happy with it but seeing all those reviews about 3com's HomeConnect, I had to go and buy one and check it out for myself.
Before I purchased the 3com HomeConnect USB camera, I had a Quickcam VC. I bought the Quickcam for it's price. I found a refurbished quickcam vc on ebay for $32. I bought it and it was fine for a while. Then I discovered I needed something with a more...
Pros: picture quality especially in low light Cons: cost, driver problems with Netmeeting
I purchased a 3COM HomeConnect PC camera about 3 months ago, mainly to use with Netmeeting to have video and audio contact with my daughter up North, and friends in my area.
Installation went simply, I thought! It is an USB product and comes with a...
Pros: low-light performance, USB Connection, ease of use Cons: none worth mentioning
The 3com HomeConnect Digital Camera has made me very glad that I checked the market and desided to spend a little extra cash to get a desktop camera that suited my needs. My home is often a victim of "low light" due to it being an apartment...
Pros: High picture quality, Versatile, Easy to Install and Use, Attractive Design, Great Software Bundle Cons: None worth mentioning
I first began using digital PC cameras in the days of the original, "white ball" QuickCam - and yes, it was monochrome. I've tried out the QuickCam, QuickCam2, Panasonic EggCam, ZoomCam USB and the iRez Kritter and now I have been completely...
Pros: High quality images, even in very low light Cons: Odd setup, bundled software leaves a bit to be desired.
I recently bought my 3Com HomeConnect webcam and am so far pretty pleased with it. Overall, it produces still images of high quality, and movies with good frame rates.
Setup is fine, but you have to follow the directions to the letter....
Pros: it's stylish, of great image quality, and compensates for lack of light Cons: you sometimes have to fidget with the setting because it can compensate a little too much for light deficiency
I wanted to purchase a PC digital camera but I had no idea which to buy. So I came to epinions and read most of the reviews on all the PC digital cameras here and concluded I would go with this one. I LOVE YOU GUYS! THIS IS THE BEST! I admit I was weary...
I bought a 3Com HomeConnect PC Digital Camera a year ago. Well, a little less than a year ago. Shortly after Christmas I ran out and bought a webcam in a fit of urgency. I don't know why, either, because I had about zero self confidence and was sure I'd...
Pros: Great quality, very user friendly Cons: I guess my only problem would be the misalignment, but that is exclusively on my computer.
It was really my mother's idea to get a camera for the computer. I was apprehensive at first, thinking why we should waste money on something we didn't need. She just bought it anyways and gave it to me for christmas last year. I have loved it ever...
Pros: Excellent pic and video quality. Excellent customer service by 3Com. Cons: Loose focus ring. Slightly short "stem" that it sits on.
I've used several web cams in the past, but when I bought my 3com four months or so ago, it really blew me away. Now, first of all, let me list what I've used or tried in the past:
Pros: Works in well Low Light, Portable, Additional lenses available Cons: Software is adequate, Tech support was not the greatest
I have owned several PC cameras in my life but none of them was as good as the 3Com Homeconnect PC Camera. I needed a camera that I could leave on during the day to monitor my dog while I was at work.
Pros: Very easy setup, good software bundle, nice image quality Cons: Image is a bit choppy when viewed in a large window
I had a friend call me and tell me to download Microsoft net meeting. Ok, I did. Then he "called" me with his new 3com Home Connect web cam. COOL!! Here he was sitting in Alaska and I in Washington, and I could see and hear him. Then it...
I've now had this camera for several weeks, long enough to kick it around and see what it can do. I'm quite pleased with the overall results. It's hardly the size of a cigarette pack, easily pocketable to take from PC to PC. Connection and installation...
Pros: Image quality, Color Cons: Some potential installation problems
Our organization purchased several of these cameras after experiencing positive results with image quality. The HomeConnect PC Camera delivers great quality, along with eye-pleasing colors, for its relatively low price.
Pros: Amazing features, awesome quality, good bundled software, saves you on phone bills Cons: Steep Price ($150), but it will pay for itself....

Pros: Picture quality, Software, and functions as a digital camera as well! Cons: cord length
I've read some great articles here on epinions about this product, and asked "santa" for it for christmas. I have to say that it is beyond my expectations of what a great product this is!
Pros: easy to use, easy to set up, great technical support Cons: a little more expensive than no-name brands but well worth it.
The 3COM company was formally owned by U.S. Robotics. The ease of the plug and play installation was amazingly simple. The manual included with the equipment was very informative and helpful unlike some manuals that only give you basic information...
I recently bought the 3com PC camera from amazon.com and I can't stop talking about how wonderful it is! It was so easy to install...I put the installation CD into the computer and it practically loaded itself! It takes crisp clear pictures and the...
I currently own five different webcams, and have four hooked up. This is the only one i've decided not to use. I own three hawkings technology cameras, a creative labs webcam 3, and this camera and I think this one has the worst picture of all.
...
Pros: Easy to set-up, great picture quality, easy to focus, long cord provides flexibility Cons: auto-brightness feature occasionally still requires you to adjust brightness
What a great little webcam! I chose this model because of the positive reviews I found on Amazon.com. They all talked about how clear the picture is compared to other webcams in the price range.
I am VERY computer illiterate, but I was able to...
Pros: Advanced lighting and color effects Cons: No privacy cover.
When Windows 2000 came around my old Logitech Cam just wouldn’t work due to lack of driver updates. For almost a year now I wanted a top of the line web cam that would work with my operating system. My beautiful girlfriend just decided to go out and get...
Pros: Ease of use, setup Cons: Gimmicky, and not very portable at all
Yes, I'm new to the entire webcam "thing". I recently borrowed a friends just to check out what all the excitement was about. Now I can't pull myself away from it. After a few minutes tweaking with it, I can record at a nice 30fps, and even...
Pros: Head and shoulders above any other webcam on the market in terms of picture quality Cons: mac drivers aren't as good as pc drivers - this cam is also discontinued, sadly
Sadly, 3com has chosen to discontinue this webcam, which they bought from Vicam a couple years back. This is the webcam owned by nearly every girl and guy who do webcam sites for a living or near-living, myself included. I have tried nearly every camera...
My mom had promised me a webcam as a graduation gift so I was doing some research on webcams here at epinions.com and talking to my online friends. I came to the conclusion that this webcam was by far one of the highest ranking webcams. I was a little...
I can't say enough great things about this web cam. The 3com Homeconnect is crisp, clear, and solid. From noon sunlight to a moon lit room, the 3com gives you a great picture. Low light is usually my number one concern in all camera products, so it was...
Pros: great feature set Cons: seems pricey until you see the features for yourself
For some reason, my employer decided to buy 4 of these. I found out about them and "borrowed" one of them to test for Mac compatibility (drivers are available from the original developer, Vista Imaging, at <http://www.vistaimaging.com/>)....
Pros: Great picture, low light support, excellent resolution, quick and easy setup, compact and portable. Cons: A bit grainy in low light.
After having a Logitech webcam for a while, I decided that I needed a clearer cam for my website. So we cruised to the local Best Buy in search of a good quality cam. When we got there, I looked over the selection they had. What I was looking for was a...
This net camera is a definite improvement over their original net cam they once had. You used to have to install an internal capture card inside your computer then hook the camera to it. Well, that frightened many people off since most people don't want...
I won this camera in a contest put together by an online media company, by the name of DigiMarc, which was pretty cool, since I didn't remember entering the contest, but the camera showed up at my doorstep as a surprise one day.
Pros: price, software bundle, ease of use Cons: usb version only
One of the premier companies for computer peripherals is 3Com. Their latest offering in the highly competitive field of pc cameras -- HomeConnect™ PC Digital Camera - is well worth its retail price of $150. It's installation is a snap with the enclosed...
Pros: good framerate and quality, still shot resolution is excellent Cons: not portable
This camera is excellent for many uses. I mainly used mine in my office at work so me and my wife could communicate by seeing each other. We were two states away from each other at the time so this method of communication seemed best.
Pros: The camera has a nice solid base and stays where you sit it. It is black and doesnt catch attention. The software control that comes with it is pretty flexible. The usb cable is about 9 feet long. The USB cable plugs into the camera so it can be replaced w Cons: Poor Color. Grainy picture under anything but normal light. Retail box and price indicates web cam software but they really stick you with the older demo version. 3 Com just said sorry we cant help you, we know we made a mistake but we cant do anything abo
Contrary to the rave reviews I was not happy at all with the overall
resolution and the color accuracy. This camera was not as good as the cheaper Intel/PCI cam I had before even with it's low light sensitivity and Automatic Gain feature. Its not as...
Pros: Excellent image quality, good base, long USB cable included Cons: Old, 3Com dropping support, no longer the best available. Controls have Win3.1 look and feel.
In its day, the 3Com HomeConnect was just about the best webcam you could get. I have owned it for many years now and have seen no reason to upgrade. However, I have recently had an opportunity to test a variety of newer webcams, and I must say that...
Pros: easy install, great picture, easy to focus, great low-light abilities Cons: lighting capabilities too good. skin tones in normal light are distorted.
this is my second webcam purchase. and this one, by far, was the better choice. once installed and operational, the cam worked much better than expected.
it has a much better image and comes with several software titles. once i focused the...
Pros: Simple installation!!Nice,clear picture.System requirements:All windows programs(excepting win95)U.S.B. port,c.d. drive Cons: Instances of glitches in the software(however far and few between)
You get the most bang for your buck with this cam! My boyfriend purchased 2 of these 3Com Home Connect cams on-line and gave me one. His computer is much more upgraded than mine,and he uses cable-modem; i have a 2 year old Intel computer and am running...
Pros: Excelent image quality, long cord Cons: Not detachable from base
This is truley an excelent camera and is well worth the extra money. The first camera I purchased was a Logitech QuickCam Express. It was terrible! The picture was horrible and if there was too little light, the image was absolutely dreadful! Anyway,...
Pros: Easy Installation, Great Video, nice picture stills Cons: focus can be smoother, documentation should be expanded
First I read a lot of the reviews on this camera. After reading the high percentage of favorable reviews I decided to purchase the 3Com camera. Contrary to some of the reviews saying that the installation was difficult, I thought it was Extremely Easy....
Pros: average quality Cons: still not what a web cam should be
this camera is decent if your not expecting much from it, but i should be fair its not just this camera its all web cams. no matter which one you buy its not gonna be the quality you would really want. so if you want to record movies to put on your...
Pros: clear, bright image, easy installation Cons: no built-in microphone
After spending hours of research on pc cameras, I've decided to go for this 3com Homeconnect digital pc camera. There are several reasons for my decision: it is reviewed as the best camera in its category.
