1 Great little webcam for netmeeting
I have this webcam for over two years now and it worths every penny. I use it for video chatting and playing games.
2 Modified for astrocam
After a week of trials and errors, I succeeded modify this affordable webcam to be my astrocamera. It works great! More info on "intel cs330 astrocam" can be found on google.
3 No good if you have Windows 2000
This works fine with Windows ME(with a patch)and Win98 but I mostly use Win2K. Intel offers a beta driver for Win2K but it doesn't work very well. I would recommend buying a different camera if you use Windows 2000. I will have to buy another camera now that I use mostly Windows 2000.
4 Off to a bad start...
I hear of Intel quite a bit nowadays. I expected their products to perform reasonably well... This flimsy hunk of plastic refused to comply with everything I tried to have it do. It would take one snapshot, then freeze. Then, once I got the program to become unstuck, my computer would crash, rendering everything on my computer dead. Then, after a few rounds of this, I decide to remove the software. Bad idea. It took over a half-hour of battle with this monstrosity to pry its deathgrip off my system. The closest I could get to determining the cause of this debacle is that, on the back of the box, it says that it's optimized for Pentiums. I have an AMD Athlon. ? Any help would've worked, but the forum for video and conferencing on intel.com was deactivated in April. Probably because people got fed up w/ a $140.00 P.O.S. and quit dealing with it. Good doorstop maybe, good camera, I don't think so. :(
5 What a let -down
I was so excited to see that Intel didn't go on-the-cheap with regards to cables, software, etc.. However, the installation was beyond painful. The Intel dial-up to verify the modem didn't work, the test internet call that I tried attempted to download a .com file that (obvioiusly) didn't run, and Intel tech support is non-existant. What a let-down
6 not supported with windows 2000
I got this camera but it was not supported by windows 2000
7 Amazing Cam
After reading some reviews, I wanted to go with the 3Com camera, but didn't have the money so I chose Intel. The software installed fine, the cam installed fine. Works great on my P166 with 64ram, Quality is great, the software is awesome, it has some games you play using the cam, like virtual basketball, that's really cool. The camera is fast too, I've had a camera before and it slowed the whole PC down. Also there is a $30 rebate if you order it before September 30, 2000 (mail it by October 30, 2000), so for the price of the standard Intel camera, you can get the pro.
8 VIDEO & VOICE
Software is great and easy to install. The problem is when videoconferencing and the voice is running and you added video, it will work for 1-2 minutes and the voice disappears. Can I hear some more?
9 Is there a such thing as six stars?
If there was this would get it from me. The softwares great, the hardwares great, The pictures are very clear and the colors are perfect. The video and audio import features are fantastic you can fit 1 and 1/2 hours of video in 500 mb! The software is very easy to use, (and yes the experts will like it) I'm glad I invested in one. I hope you will be too.
10 NO W2K SUPPORT
Wouldn't you think that intel (one of microsoft's key partners) would support their PRO hardware on a 2000 professional. Intel says "no" and they "have no plans on supporting it in the future." If you are going to buy a cam and plan on upgrading to the most current Windows release, make sure it has states explicit windows 2000 support. THIS PRODUCT DOES NOT HAVE IT!
11 Great Camera and Software
Lighting needs to be setup right but that is the case with all cameras. Great for creating AVIs from your camcorder live or prerecorded. Lots of applications to use it for. Enjoy.
12 no complaints...
Picture quality is good if you have the right lighting(Get a flexible desktop lamp w/15W soft white bulb and place it behind the camera),the audio could be better and I guess that all pc cameras need to improve the FPS(frame/second rate).the software is great.
13 It is okay. You just have to find more things to do with it
I purchased the Intel Pro Pack camera with the Create and Share Software. It is okay. I have a Celeron Chip inside so I don't get the fastest video but it is very decent. For beginners, I would highly recommend it. Keep in mind, your lighting needs to be set right. I had some problems with pictures in relation to the amount of light.
With a little tweeking and stuff, you can make great use of this camera.
14 Great camera, but beware, it won't work under Windows 2000
To-date, Intel has not provided drivers under Windows 2000, so beware, since this unit will not work under Windows 2000.
