So why haven't I reviewed any cameras since November of 2012?

It seems that these types of webcams are no longer being developed. Smart phones, tablets and similar devices have taken over the market. As far as I can tell, there have been no new models released since 2011.

I had hoped to start reviewing IP type cameras but they are way too expensive for me to purchase. The webcams shown on these pages averaged around $50, with the top camera running about $200. Most IP cameras are in the range of $300 to over $1000.

These pages will remain but there will be no further reviews unless the market changes.
