A webcam is a digital video camera that has to be connected directly to a computer or network and cannot be used seperately. Webcams are perfect for video calling and chatting: finally you can see your faraway friends or family while talking/chatting! Network attached webcams can be used as affordable security cameras.
Here's the affordable web camera that's easy to set up, with simple to install software that lets you meet family and friends, face-to-face, on-line, with live video calls. Or bring instant messages to life by adding images to your Yahoo! Messenger as easily as you send text - and no camera required at the other end. If a single picture is worth a thousand words, think what a video can say for you!
