    While the Creative software allows you to do a host of functions such as Motion Detection, Time Lapse Video, and Remote Record with results posting to a web server of your choice there is not enough to make us excited about the WebCam Live! Pro. If you really must have 640x480 image resolution then this is as good a WebCam as any as long as you are a PC user, but if your plan is to use it for the odd instant video messaging with your mates then you would be better off...

    The WebCam Live! Ultra is Creative's latest addition to its extensive line of Web cameras. While the camera is definitely pushing the upper edges of the Web camera price range, it also pushes the upper edges of performance in terms of ... Read more

    There are many uses for a webcam. In addition to using it for video-calling people over the internet, it could be put to good use as a security camera, for example. One householder recently helped the police capture a burglar who stole his computer, because the attached webcam was watching and recording the whole thing. Although the thief took the PC, the camera was saving images on the internet so they were all there for the police to see. The Live! Ultra webcam... Read more

  1. "Does not install on Compaq desktop with AMD Athalon 64 processor"

    Same problem as laptop users mentioned. We have a brand new Compaq desktop and Windows would not recognize the USB device and installation CD would freeze our computer after not installing the driver. Creative's web site didn't have a solution, nor did the rep that came with their 60 days of free telephone support, he said the camera was faulty and to exchange it. After an exchange, we had the same problem as the first time. Should have read the reviews before the first... Read more

    The Creative Live! Ultra webcam appears to be competing against Logitech's Quickcam Pro 4000. They have similar still photo resolution (1024x768 for the Live Ultra, 1280 x 960 for the Quickcam 4000). However, the Quickcam 4000 has a true 1.3 megapixel sensor, while the Live Ultra interpolates up from 640x480. As a result, I have found the Quickcam 4000 produces better still images. Video quality wise, the two cameras are similar. The Live Ultra is a bit granier in low... Read more
