What is it: Webcam for remote monitoring
What we think: Its the ideal webcam if you are looking to shoot objects other than yourself
What you need to know
Reviewed on: 9 January 2008
Tags: creative, conditions, enabled, ultra
We like:
Ball-and-socket joint provides flexibility; camera rotates 270 degrees; stand works equally well on top of desk or atop a monitor
We don't like:
Image quality struggles in low light; buggy software; face tracking feature is useless
CNET.co.uk judgement:
If remote video surveillance or time-lapse photography is something you want to do with a webcam, the Creative Live Cam Optia AF is a good pick. For all others, Logitech has a better -- and slightly cheaper -- webcam
