Microsoft webcam nx 1000

It's simple to do, but then again, uploading a photo to any blog service is just as easy. A third button in the lower-right corner opens up the LifeCam Files folder, where all of your clips and photos are stored. The Photo Swap feature lets you send photos while video chatting in Live Messenger, which is a cool feature for sharing photos and really the only feature I found useful in the software. Even the goofy video effects that come bundled can't compare with what you get from Logitech or Creative.

Without any face tracking feature, for example, you don't get to play around with 3D avatars. And even the scenic overlays are lame compared to the video effects available with Creative's and Logitech's Webcams. Video quality on Skype was indistinguishable to that of using either of the laptop Webcams from Creative or Logitech--not great, but more than passable with decent color levels and relatively smooth movement. The camera's VGA sensor can capture video up to a resolution of x and up to 30 frames per second and snap 1.

The Logitech QuickCam Pro Webcam's by comparison, can record video up to x and 2-megapixel photos. You're given sliders for adjusting brightness, contrast, hue, among others, but there's no option to have the software optimize the image given current lighting conditions. You're forced to tweak the settings manually or return to the default setting. There are boxes next to each for Auto, but all are grayed out save the box for White Balance which didn't seem to do anything anyway.

With minimal tweaking, however, we found the colors to be more accurate and vivid than the output from the Creative Live Cam Notebook Ultra; the Logitech QuickCam Pro for Notebooks is still far and away the best of the bunch in terms of overall image quality.

The Microsoft cam struggled in low light, but instead of a dark image with shadows masking your face, the image became grainier the less light there was.

Lastly, despite its small size, the LifeCam NX surprised us with its clean audio. Its spring-loaded clip can accommodate thicker laptop lids than that of the Creative cam, stretching out to 0. The clip allowed for a very secure mount on the three laptops we tested. Unlike the Creative cam, which can be rotated around to face directly away from you, the LifeCam NX rotates only 60 degrees.

Matt Elliott. The Good Acceptable video quality for video calls; decent audio; compact size with good clip; inexpensive. Windows 10 is not even listed as supported! But one of the drivers from the page works fine in Windows 10 bit. So I had to download all of them, un-CAB them and bla-bla-bla That solution is a couple of light years from "plug and play" definition.

So, I have solved the driver problem, but I would like to use the original software as well? Skype and other applications are operational.

Would you please keep an eye for this issue with Windows 11 version? Kind regards and thank you! Was this reply helpful? Yes No. Sorry this didn't help. Thanks for your feedback. This thread is locked. You can follow the question or vote as helpful, but you cannot reply to this thread.
