Creative WebCam Live! Pro

Excellent picture quality....
A little long winded install as there is a huge software bungle to do.
The software allows face tracking which enables the camera to zoom and alter, so your face remains central.. I presonally have turned it off, as I thought it was a little distracting for the picture to constantly alter is size.
Can be used as a motion detector, still camera, and video camera.

There is a backlight control if you've got strong lighting behind you to resolve shadow issues.
There is auto balance controls, but I personally prefer to change these to suit myself as I have found I can get better pictures that way.
The camera can be mounted in several way.
1) simply stand which is suitable for most surfaces.
2) there is also a fitted clip, this clip allows it to be attached to a LCD screen, or even something like a shelf. With the software having mirror image, and upside down option, the camera can be used almost anywhere.
The cable is of a reasonable length to a USB fitting, but can be extended if required.
The camera has a LED light on it, when glowing GREEN, it indicates that the camera is powered up and ready for use, and glowign RED when the camera is actually in use.
