Why you selling kit that is redundant and does not work in the modern age?????Were all Windows 10 so when selling kit for a past operating system make this clear to your audiencewaste of time and money Ill be seeking a refund!!

Does what is says on the box.

I got this camera so that my kids can video chat with my parents who live in another state. It was simple to install on Windows XP and I haven't had any problems. It works well with Skype. The video quality is decent. The microphone is much clearer and louder than the one built into my laptop. I'm sure there are better cameras out there, but I didn't want to spend too much money. Plus, video quality is usually limited by your internet connection, not the camera. The only gripe, which some others have had, is that the button on top of the camera is easy to bump and it tries to load Microsoft Live Messenger. I changed it to open Skype using another reviewer's suggestion:Jrverse says:You can have the large button activate a different app (like Skype) when it's clicked.This works for me and others on the web (Advanced users only!!!):1. Open regedit.2. Navigate to the following key:[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Class\{6BDD1FC6-810F-11D0-BEC7-08002BE2092F}\????\Settings]Where ???? is a number like 0000, 0001, 0002, 0003, 0004. You may have a few of these.3. Under each of the "\????\Settings" folders, look for the entry called "QuickStartPath", and change it from the current value (usually "C:\Program Files\Microsoft LifeCam\icepick.exe") to the path of the program you want to launch when the big button is clicked (like "C:\Program Files\Skype\Phone\skype.exe") This works perfectly for me.

I bought the Microsoft LifeCam VX-3000 because my son said it was the best way to see my new grandson on my computer, by using the Lifecam in conjunction with Skype. The set-up was confusing, and I had to call my son on the phone to walk me though it. Still, we had problems and it was a good half hour before we finally got it to work properly.The unit is fairly inexpensive, and you usually get what you pay for. If I had to do it all over again, I'd spend more money and get a better unit.[...]

hello. anyone reading this, will be interested in the details of actually having this item. I ordered this from amazon, after some personal debate, going from website to website, searching. finally decided on amazon. first get this home, out of the box, you start to run the software, and it asks you to install the MSN software FIRST. after you get through MSN, you get to go back to the cd-rom, to install the rest of the cd that comes with this. of course, if you do not wish to have MSN on your system, you can go to add/remove in your control panel. after I got it all installed, and started to run it, it has an auto-update in it. THIS took a LONG time to download, but I finally got it done. and I picked out my victim for trying it on first on my yahoo msngr. they say it looks good, and it sounds good, with the built-in microphone.all in all,..I like it.it is fairly cheap to buy, easy to install, and easy to get started.all the others claiming they had an issue with the cam base, must be doing something odd. mine seems to sit still and I have had no issue.I gave this a perfect 5...but maybe I am too easy to please.of all the reviews of video cams, the vx-3000 was my favorite to pick and I am not sorry.
