Not worth it, (What's this?) I have this item it dont even work on my laptop at all. I can't even use it on messengers that has webcam features in it. No matter how many times i try to get it working.. it shows a black image that is just about it.... the infrared don't even work even the program installation cd that came with it don't even work right at all.
get what you pay for, I purchased this item 2 months ago, tried it with windows 7 using Vista drivers from their website.. couldn't make it work. Emailed support to see if there will be Windows 7 drivers .. answer: not sure, if we do we will let you know. Hooked up to a XP machine, works ok if the ambient lighting is ok, not so good in low light, don't know what the LED's do, never light up white as some people claim and appear to have no IR effect, picture black when I darken room. Does appear to see IR from a remote, in a dark room I can turn on a IR remote and see the glow albeit very weak. Nice Clamp...
Excellent webcam, (What's this?) Works perfectly with win 7 x64 (Plug & Play)
Simply enter the usc cable into its slot, and will automatically recognize me in my pc a webcam.
I needed a webcam to work with 64 bits, and well, met its expectations.
Cons: Do not think it's 1.3MP, and less infrared because it is white light as heck not quenched.
But the truth not is disturbing, what interested me is to work under that OS.
A poor knockoff?, (What's this?) I bought an exactly identical looking camera from a store, and loved it - nice crisp image, good camera speed.
Based on that I bought three of these on Amazon - WHAT A HUGE MISTAKE!
WAY different image quality - looks like a .
False Advertising, It claims to sense Infrared images of people in front of the camera - it DOES NOT (I can check this with an infrared light source)
it claims to have 6 infrared LEDS - NOPE it has 6 white LEDs
It claims to work with the macintosh with some driver you can download from vmicro - God alone knows what this driver I installed actually does, but it doesn't run a camera
It is a total ripoff. At least if you are going to sell a hokey camera they could at least tell me what it actually does. The description must be cut and pasted out of something else.
This identical camera is branded under many names (evidently you can just have a boat load shipped from china and stick on your own logo). My order said kinamax, i got something from a company called Sabrent.
Solid Night Vision Camera, (What's this?) Of course, you get what you pay for as this is a cheap, made-in-China infrared camera but don't let that fool you. For what it claims to be and the price you pay, the camera is great. I use it as a simple baby monitor. Because there is no infrared filter (so you can see images in the dark), it needs to be refocused for daylight and nighttime. But, because they're so cheap, I purchased two - one to focus for daylight hours and one to focus at night. The benefit there is that even though you wouldn't really be using the one focused for the daylight hours at night, it will still shine its infrared light, thus making the images at night easier to see.
I wouldn't ever use this camera to chat or anything else but as a cheap surveillance camera, it does the job.
Nice camera for the price, Upside: It is a very nice camera for the price. The image is crisp and looks like something shot from a DVD camera. The focus is manual on the camera. This might seem like a disadvantage but it is actually an advantage. The other thing I'd like to specifically point out - couple of the previous reviewers indicated this camera is not true infrared and instead just uses bright light. This is NOT true. I called the manufacturer and they confirmed it is really IR. Then I bought the camera and shined in some IR light (from a regular remote control and then from a handmade IR emitting device). It certainly picks the infrared as it should.
Downside: Not a lot of settings (but not a major issue given its price). There's no way to turn either IR or White light off. I saw a similar camera which had these buttons for turning different types of vision on or off. Not a major issue though.
nice cam, (What's this?)
PERFECT FOR BABY MONITOR USE!!, (What's this?) First of all, DO NOT pay attention to idiot reviews with low star ratings. I was skeptical because of them, but figured that maybe those people do not understand how InfraRed light works and gave it a shot. $16.00 later I couldn't be happier, this cam met my expectations.
You must understand that this webcam is NOT meant for night time security surveillance, reason being is because the IR LED's built in do not put out that much light. The more visible light you have, the more it is going to interfere with IR and the less you will be able to see at night. If you are searching for a night security cam, this is NOT the cam for you.
What I wanted was a web cam that allowed night time visibility to use as a wireless baby monitor to mount on the crib that I could use with the hardware I already own...which is, a computer, a wireless internet router, an iPhone and an iPod Touch along with the apple store app called iCamSource. With that software, I can see what is going on with our baby inside that crib, wireless and SECURED.
Unlike those $150 - $300 baby monitors, they put out UN-SECURED Radio Frequencies that anyone with the proper equipment, can lock into that frequency and see what is going on inside your home. Why spend that much more when you probably already own what I just mentioned on the last paragraph?? If you're that type of individual...read on. If not...then don't waste your time with this cam.
I installed this cam over the crib, I was very impressed with the video quality with day light, everything looks sharp, couldn't be happier, even though it is not HD like the box says. Then the night test, the crib lit up just as I expected.
