Features

See more, show more
A 180º rotating lens, a wide field of view at 76º - put it all together and you get video captured at the best possible angle, and more of you and your surroundings to show to friends. Compared to other webcams that give you a field of view that is 50% less, now no one needs to feel left out. Its compact size also makes it easy to take with you anywhere.

True USB 2.0 webcam. Perfect for broadband.
Delivers smooth, full-motion video at 30 frames per second, in colors richer than ever. The WebCam Live! Ultra for Notebooks is also USB 1.1 compliant, which means there is no compatibility problem even if your computer has a lower USB connection. Only true USB 2.0 webcams have the bandwidth to deliver up to twice the frame rate and richer colors. Don't be misled by USB 1.1 webcams that are USB 2.0 compatible.

Exclusive Smart Face Tracking technology
Smart Face Tracking allows you to move freely without having to reposition your camera all the time. Detecting movement and recognizing skin tone, your face automatically remains in the video frame. It can even detect multiple faces, unlike other face tracking programs that track only one person at a time.

High-quality CCD sensor
Unlike conventional CMOS technology found in most webcams, CCD image sensors deliver true color reproduction even in low lighting. So whether you're in a dimly-lit hotel room or hanging out at the beach, you always get vibrant colors and crisp images.

Clearer Voice over the Internet
Slip on the included headset and you'll enjoy better privacy and clearer voice over the Internet compared to webcams with built-in microphones.

Superior Video for Instant Messaging!
Includes Yahoo!® Messenger, and works with
MSN® Messenger, AOL® Instant Messenger(AIM).
Windows® Messenger, and other instant messaging services.
