The perfect Webcam in terms of Price

I have an outstanding Hewlett Packard laptop with Vista Home Premium 32 bit operating system that is barely three years old that started showing monitor or screen problems. After many trials, blood, sweat and tears, the problem turned out to be a worn out LCD cable from all the years of daily opening and closing. I ordered a new one, replaced it and everything is good as new. Well, almost good as new.
Everything worked perfectly except the webcam. Nothing seemed to correct the integrated webcam issue so I decided to buy an external USB webcam. There are as many webcam choices as there are choices of new automobiles. Making a decision on a webcam became a small project. Webcams range in price from ten dollars to several thousand dollars.
Lower cost cams tend to have standard definition and lower resolution than the higher priced cams. While the lower cost cams offer a decent picture, the ability to make picture or video larger is not an option with the lower resolution capabilities of these cams. Mid priced cams offer better definition and resolution for the price change and the higher priced cams offer high definition and 1080p resolution.
When comparing the quality of video and photo between the different priced cams there is a very noticeable difference in quality. High definition looks almost perfect compared to the lower priced standard definition cams. However, the price gaps varies just as much. My favorite HD webcam has 1080p resolution and offers so many other options as well as programs that are included on Disc. It has an average cost of $90.
After careful consideration of how little I use a webcam, I actually bought a standard definition webcam. I made this purchase at a well known electronics supply chain for the low price of $10. This cam has a good picture and makes a reasonable clear video and priced really well. This webcam will sit on a desktop or will sit on top of a pc monitor and has no drivers or software to install. Just plug and Play.

Save alot by using VoIP

Shop Around
Not all VoIP service providers support dial-up users. Companies such as Vonage bill themselves as alternatives to traditional telephone service and shy away from the dial-up community (who are tied to those ‘traditional’ networks to access the Internet). Furthermore, some service providers only support dial-up above a certain speed (e.g., 56Kbp). Two companies whose VoIP softphone applications work well over low speed connections include Callserve and Go2Call.
‘Free-up’ your System Resources
In order to ensure the highest call quality, close programs that are running in the ‘background’. For Windows users, these applications can be seen in the taskbar at the bottom right of your screen. ‘Right-click’ the icons and close those programs that aren’t critical to system security (e.g., don’t close anti-virus software, firewall applications and the like).
If you’re using Windows XP with user switching enabled, log off all users except the one that will be used to make the call. This will prevent the other user identities from running software and/or using your bandwidth while you’re making calls.
‘Free Up’ your Internet Connection
Given the limited data capacity of dial-up connections, it’s important that you devote as much of your bandwidth as possible to the VoIP softphone application. To achieve maximum call quality, don’t do anything that uses your bandwidth whilst making calls. This includes instant messaging, checking email, using a webcam, browsing the internet, downloading, etc. In Windows, you can look at the two little computers in the bottom right of your taskbar to see whether your connection is being used prior to calling (the little computers illuminate when data is being uploaded and/or downloaded).
Scan your System for Viruses, Spyware, Adware and Malware
Some of these malicious programs can hijack your browser, tie up your internet connection and slow down your system (not to mention seriously invade your privacy!). I recommend AdAware for free scanning and removal of Spyware/Adware. Once you’ve checked and cleansed your system of these nasty programs, your virus definition files should be updated to minimize the chances of re-infection.
Use a Headset with an Integrated Boom Microphone
Last but not least, using a headset with a boom microphone should eliminate those annoying voice echoes often associated with PC to Phone calls. Echoes are caused by your microphone detecting the voice coming from your computer speakers and re-transmitting that voice signal back to the person you’re talking to. By using a headset, the voice signals are limited in volume (due to the headset being directly adjacent to your ears) and thus the chances of your microphone ‘re-transmitting’ those voice signals is greatly reduced.
So there you have it. A Lack of high speed Internet needn’t mean a lack of PC to Phone VoIP capability.

While video conferencing and web conferencing are confused, web conferencing is a completely different animal.

It all started with PLATO…
Web conferencing is “the total package.” Interestingly, the conceptual design of web conferencing began long before there was a World Wide Web or Internet structure in place. In the 1960’s, the University of Illinois developed a system known as PLATO for their Computer-based Education Research Laboratory (CERL). It was a small, self-contained system supporting a single classroom of terminals connected to one mainframe computer. In 1972, PLATO was moved to a new system of mainframes that eventually supported over one thousand users at a time.
In 1973, Talkomatic was developed by Doug Brown. This was essentially the first “instant messaging” program ever designed, with multiple windows displaying typed notes in real time for several users simultaneously. In 1974, Kim Mast developed Personal Notes, a new feature for PLATO that enabled private mail for users.
In 1975, Control Data Corporation set up its own PLATO system in Minneapolis, Minnesota, the first commercial use of multi-function conferencing system. Within ten years, PLATO was being used in over one hundred sites around the world, some with dedicated lines for full-time use.
In the late 1980’s, however, microcomputers were becoming more reasonably priced and the heyday of mainframe-based systems was over. Eventually the original Control Data systems were shut down because PLATO was no longer cost-effective. Control Data now has a few systems operating under the name CYBIS.
PLATO’s descendants
In the late 1970’s, Ray Ozzie and Tim Halvorsen worked at CERL. Years later they took some of the features of PLATO and greatly expanded on their capabilities when designing one of today’s most powerful web conferencing tools -- Lotus Notes, released in 1989.
Lotus Notes was the first commercially released product that really took off to offer user-created data-bases, document sharing, and remote location communication under one umbrella. It created a “relationship based” environment that took the corporation world by storm.
Other descendants of PLATO included DEC Notes, originally known as VAX, written by Len Kawell. It is still used today on DEC’s EASYnet and on Starlink, a universal web conferencing community. NetNotes is a client-server system designed to improve on the original DEC Notes, with WebNotes as an add-on for World Wide Web access.
True WEB conferencing
The distinction between true web conferencing and systems conferencing is difficult, however, to define. When the Web first became a contender as a valid means of collaborative conferencing with document sharing, etc, many companies took conferencing packages originally designed for intranet systems and redesigned them. The results weren’t always seamless. It wasn’t until the mid-1990’s that true Web Conferencing software that was reliable was available.
PLATO and other main-frame based conferencing systems were based on a centralized structure, with all elements feeding into a central computer. This structure saw the development of several types of conferencing software that included Backtalk, Caucus, COW, Motet, Web Crossing, Podium, TALKaway and YAPP.
PlaceWare, arguably one of the most influential Web conferencing systems developed, had interesting origins in the 1990’s at the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center, where it began as a multi-user game called LambdaMOO. PlaceWare was one of the first companies to provide complete Web conferencing after the initial release of PlaceWare Auditorium in 1997. In April of 2003, Microsoft purchased PlaceWare, adding it to its newly formed Real-Time Collaborative Business Unit.
P2P shifts the focus of web conferencing
Another popular form of software was Groupware, essentially defined by Lotus Notes. The difference between the centralized structure of PLATO-based systems and Lotus is in the additional functions -- Lotus provided a host of other options like scheduling and document sharing. Groupware software is more complex than Centralized software and focus on work flow; that is, making sure documents, graphics and templates are where they need to be. Popular Groupware products developed in the 1990’s included InTandem, Livelink, Lotus Domino, Oracle InterOffice, TEAMate and WebShare.
As the price of home computers dropped, peer to peer (P2P) file sharing became more and more commonplace over the World Wide Web, although primarily on a user to user basis. That changed when members of Napster, then an illegal, informally organized group of college youth and other music-lovers, began sharing millions of music files among themselves. It began a revolution in the use of the Internet that changes the way Web conferencing was eventually perceived. P2P began to be seen as the way to host Web conferencing, rather than through a single server. .
Groove took this peer to peer concept and applied it to Web conferencing. The Groove technology, originally released in 2000, was upgraded to real performance power with Groove 2.1 in 2002 and was impressive. The advantages of peer to peer were immediately obvious -- once you loaded the software and were set up, you never had to pay a subscription or user fee for an offsite server to store any files, you will never lose all files in one central location, and you are set up and good to go for life (or until the next upgrade, at least).
Another company that recognized the need for quality Web conferencing software during these years was WiredRed Software, founded in 1998. In 2003, they released e/pop, a real-time Web Conferencing suite with comprehensive features for all aspects of industry -- it was the first installable web conferencing software with no significant install time.
NextPage also offers P2P web conferencing and document sharing capabilities developed out of the Napster movement. In fact, they use the example of Napster file sharing and downloads to illustrate to companies the advantages of using a peer to peer network over a centralized server.
What about UseNet?
In the 1980’s, Usenet software was developed with specific protocols to format and transmit messages. It also allowed messages to be passed from one news server to another, replicating around the world rather than being stored in any one location. It has become the standard for news readers on the Internet, with Netscape Navigator and Internet Explorer both having built-in news readers for UseNet. .
For some, web conferencing can be achieved simply by taking advantage of UseNet. Download free software to set up a news server, create a few local newsgroups on it, and have your users access your server with their Web browsers to create your conferencing site.
Most companies, of course, prefer to have a more professional package than that, and ease of use and security are concerns that are addressed better by companies who have specifically developed company or enterprise Web Conferencing solutions. A good web conferencing package today contains voice over IP (VoIP), co-browsing and application sharing at the minimum, with add-ons and other features if needed, including polling, event management, PowerPoint presentation, playback, recording and live annotation and markup.
Easynet, founded in 1994, is a broadband networking company based in Europe providing primarily European businesses with Web conferencing capabilities. This infrastructure based provider provides unbundled loop access to companies in some countries as a part of a “leased line” program for conferencing.
VoIP is making noise
The latest frontier in Web conferencing is the practicality of using IP based voice communications on a regular basis with Web conferencing. While Web conferencing is considered desirable for document exchange, text messaging and whiteboards and many other functions, many people still think VoIP technology has poor quality overall, especially with so many people still using dial-up connections. .
Actually, there are several contenders in the marketplace who have produced excellent quality VoIP offerings in their Web conferencing packages, including Voxwire, Orbitalk, RoomTalk, and VoiceCafe.
The future of web conferencing
One of the last stumbling blocks for web conferencing has been the incompatibility between Macs and PC’s. With the heavy preference for Macs by those in graphics heavy industries such as architecture, advertising and publishing, it has always been difficult to share documents and set up effective Web conferencing if the clients are PC-based. .
Session from WaveThree was released in 2003 to address this problem and seems to have actually overcome this seemingly insurmountable problem -- one of the first really effective systems for Mac/PC collaboration over the Internet. Using a bandwidth of 128 KBPS or above, Session provides videoconferencing, desktop sharing, document sharing, whiteboards and live annotations on photos and/or documents. More Web conferencing platforms of this type will no doubt be on the horizon.
As Web conferencing becomes more and more common, new developments will inevitably arise, including, perhaps, dedicated lines that are constantly open, improved, secure peer-to-peer access and more Mac/PC web conferencing options. With so many players on the field, it is likely that there will be a variety of divergent developments over the next few years.
