  • Webcam

    Many desktop and laptop computers support periperal peripheral webcams. The webcam can capture a user sitting at a desk in a "talking head" style presentation, or they can be pointed away from the operator to capture a speaker at the front of the room. Often these devices are attached via USB or FireWire connector. They can be enabled to record directly to a computer file. Use the webcam in a bright well lit room for best results. Use a subdued and non-distracting background to keep the viewer focused on the subject. Do not use extreme closeups (a nearby webcam with wide angle lens), it tends to exaggerate faces in a non-flattering way. It is better to keep the webcam further back with a bit of zoom.

      This web cam performs well for its size, and has auto brightness and auto focus capability. The QuickCam software can perform "QuickCapture" to a file. Press "Record Video" to record. You can specify the file name in the setting page. Or you can use the default video location (on Windows this is usually under ""My Computer" "My Documents" "My Video").
