    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

    I purchased this web cam as an upgrade to a lesser model creative i previously owned. As with the last one, this feels very sturdily built, and due to the pivoting back leg can be clipped to a laptop or TFT screen, as well as sitting atop a cathode ray monitor or sitting on a desk. The picture quality coming from this web cam i have found to be more than i could ever need. I have used it for msn conversations and more recently uploading to you tube, and it is more than...

    Same problem as laptop users mentioned.

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
