Product Guides
 
The Microsoft LifeCam VX-3000 is optimized for Windows Live Messenger, which is used by the largest worldwide instant messenger community with over 200 million users. Three key features give you a superior Windows Live Experience. First, the Windows Live Call Button makes it easy to start a video call. Simply press the button to see who's online, and you're on your way to a video call. Second, with the LifeCam Dashboard you can access video effects and control your webcam from the Windows Live Messenger window. Lastly, with One-Touch Blogging, a single click allows you to upload to Windows Live Spaces, an "online scrapbook" that lets you easily post blogs, photo albums, and personal music lists.

The VX-3000's automatic face tracking software, which takes advantage of the camera's pan, tilt, and zoom controls, follows you so you don't disappear off-screen. Meanwhile, the camera automatically adjusts for low-light conditions for improved video quality, and a built-in unidirectional microphone with acoustic noise cancellation provides crystal-clear audio. Video effects give you a fun way to express yourself, and last but not least, the camera's universal attachment base fits on most monitors, including flat screens. Alternatively, the camera can sit directly on your desk.

Note that while the VX-3000 is optimized for use with Windows Live Messenger, Microsoft LifeCams also work with other instant messaging programs, such as Yahoo Messenger and AOL Instant Messenger.

    5 of 5 Very nice camera Saturday, August 29, 2009
    A Customer from Milan, MI  

    The camera is wonderful, very easy to install. The microphone could be better you have to speak louder than normal to pick it up. However we bought it for the camera and are very happy with it.

    5 of 5 Great performance and value Tuesday, July 01, 2008
    A Customer from Scottsdale AZ  
    The cameras installed seamlessly; the picture is very clear and does well in moderate lighting. It's nice how the built-in microphone eliminates me having to hold a separate microphone. Integration with Skype was effortless. The 2 pack is a great value.
