Creative webcams and other products are well-known and respected in many countries. Today we are going to review Creative Live! Cam optia AF (auto focus).
Creative claim this webcam to be the first auto focusing 2 megapixel sensored webcam in the world that will perfectly fit your laptop or desltop monitor.
This webcam comes in stylish gloss black, features the all important lens and can be swivelled 270 degrees so you can adjust heaght the way more comforatble to you.
Also, this webcam has a dual Adaptive Array microphone for improved sound, and a LED indicator that glows blue so you now that you are on air.
With this webcam you recieve a lot of additional software on the install disc. Among this software there are Skype, basic video editing software, the chance to add special effects with what Creative calls Camera Doodling and most importantly for parents a parental control feature which allows a password to be set for the camera usage, preventing any unauthorised usage.
This webcam allows 30 fps capture rate, it’s usb2 connective and has the incredible ability to take pictures up to 8 megapixel resolution.
This webcam can easily be installed in Windows Vista and Windows XP. Creative Live! Optia AF isn’t Mac compatible.
Auto focus is a great feature, but sometimes it behaves too zealous. But you can turn it’s capabilities down, or off, if you experience any difficulties.
This webcam would work on usb 1.1 connection, but it’s not recommended because to get the most out of the video options you’ll need a fast machine.
As for the claim of 8 megapixel, we are very dubious about this as its software enhanced rather than actually a 8 megapixel sensor in the device, however the picture quality is good enough for snaps for illustration purposes rather than ones that you would want to keep forever or do anything important with away from your computer.

With Linksys Compact Wireless-G Iternet Video Camera you are able to send video to any web browser in the world as long as you’ve got it connected to the internet via wireless connection.
This webcam gives you the great possibility to set up your own security system in your house that will allow you to monitor your home, office, shed or anything else for a small sum of money.
Installion of this webcam is as easy as pie. All you need to do is to put the disc in your PC and the software does the rest. As distinguished from standard webcams, the Iternet Video Camera has its IP
adress, so you can connect to an existing Ethernet or wireless network.
Lynksys Compact Wireless-G Internet Video Camera offers you some advanced features, including automated monitoring (that can send you an SMS or MMS when the camera picks up motion in the room). When the camera detects motion the Intamac platform begins to record video feed, storing up to 2 minutes of images.
The service is an addition to what you get in the box and although you get a 30-day free trial, you should be aware that it costs a further £5 a month. You are of course paying for peace of mind, but if you feel that you’re unlikely to get broken in to, or don’t want text messages every time your dog
or cat walks past the camera, then you can of course opt to not use this feature.
The manufacturers of this camera offer you another service which you receive for free for the first year. It is called SoloLink and it is a static IP adress that means that your webcam has the same adress all the time.
What probably happens at the moment is that your ISP has given you a dynamic IP address which changes on a regular basis. While this isn’t a problem when you surf the Internet, if you wanted to host a website it would be impossible. Because the camera needs a static address so you can access it
remotely, you’ll have to pay for the service.

Logitech company says that the camera offers a “true-to-life video experience” because the camera can achieve an f-stop of 1.6, letting in extra ligght and enhancing the clarity of the picture.
The results were pretty good in practice, specifically in picture mode and on-screen. This is obvious because Logitech has upped the ante with the lens. Now this lense consists of five extra-large lenses, few of which are glass, also serve to produce extra-sharp video images.
That said you won’t benefit too much from the camera’s 1.3 megapixel camera, as in reality, it doesn’t really make that much difference when it comes to video - the maximum is still only 640 x 480 pixels at 30 frames, but you will from the improvement in lenses and Logitech’s RightLight 2 Technology.
The software which is now standard across the company’s line on webcams is an upgrade to their previous technology and adapts the video settings on the camera depending on the environment and lighting conditions and this a does make a difference, as we’ve seen in other cameras from Logitech. The technology means that when it low light conditions the camera performs very well. Considerably larger that other webcams we’ve tested from Logitech, the Ultra Vision features the camera and an in built speaker and microphone. The additional attached rubberised stand makes it exceptionally large overall.
The stand works by allowing you to mould it into position to fit atop of any screen, be it a laptop or LCD monitor and the end result means that it perches on anything rather like a budgerigar does in a cage.
Bundled with the webcam is Logitech Video Effects software that lets users create avatars of themselves, complete with glasses and beard, that mimics their movement.
Although the small app has about 5 minutes worth of mileage in it, it is none the less good fun for the kids.
