Be sure to also read Common issues with Creative cameras.

A decent basic camera of the slightly above entry level type. Works well under bright light. A bit dark and fuzzy at night. Useless in monitor only lighting.

Don't be misled by the numbers on the front of the box. This is a 640x480 resolution camera. The larger 600x800 and 1.3 mega pixel images are interpolated.

The camera does not have a built in mike but comes with the standard Creative headset.

The mounting bracket is good, however on a flat pannel monitor make sure you extend out what I call the toung to help secure it to the back. You'll see what I mean when you look at the camera.


Screen shots of camera configuration settings coming soon
