Customer Reviews

Does what it's supposed to...
I've had this camera for over one year now. It does what it's supposed to do without much setup or hassle. The "face follow" feature is a gimmick to me and although it does follow the face quite well, it is more annoying than functional. Despite this, I still recommend this product mainly because of its ease of use and simplicity.

Works most of the time
I use this cam all the time and most of the time it is good. The mic on it has a few problems so i have to use a different mic to be heard. It clips fine on my Gateway Laptop. It is a bit laggy from time to time as well.

Quickcam assessment
I purchased 4 of these Logitech 961400-0403 Quickcams for use with friends over Skype because of the price, performance and features. The resolution is very good for VOIP, and the face-tracking and special-effects features of the associated software work as advertised. I initially purchased a Logitech Orbcam for significantly more but these are so much cheaper with equivalent performance for VoIP that I would choose these any day.

Possible improvements:
1. Although the form factor is for Laptops, a wider mounting clamp for desktop LCD monitors would improve its usage. I had to fabricate one for my desktop.
2. A side-to-side swivel mount would also improve its usage.
