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.
Now you can make instant messages, emails and websites come alive by adding live video and audio quickly, easily and affordably. The Logitech QuickCam Messenger offers everything you need in a web camera: ease of use, quality video, a built-in microphone and all the software you need to transform your home PC into a budget video communication studio.
