|
|
Hi I'm a webcam newbie. There confession over.
I need to get a webcam and have zero idea what to look for and what models are best.
I need good video and more importnatly good audio quality. Would I have to buy a seperate mic or do most cams have an integrated mic?
Budget wise I guess up to 100,000 is ok, but less is best as I may need two (one for a laptop one for a desk top)
Any help would be great.
Cheers! |

Webcams are cheap. Much less than 100,000.
I guess they all have intergrated mic.
I got a logitech quickcam. easy to install and use. very nice video and the audio quality much better than the headphones i used to use. You should be able to pick one up in any hi-mart or songsan, whatever. if you get a logictech, make sure you go to the logitech site and download the latest drivers cause the one that came with the cam had some issues. |

Logitech cams are pretty good.
You shouldn't need to spend more than 30,000 to 40,000 on one. The microsoft camera my friend got was a disappointment. You can get one with an internal mic, but honestly, a cheap 10,000 won headset will sound much better because a mounted/external webcam-type mic will give you feedback/echo and bog the conversation a bit. |
