#Hercules web camera 720p

Each installation requires re-accepting Hercules' software license, choosing the appropriate folders, and so on-and that's not counting installing QuickTime 7 if you don't already have it. Software setup is a little clunky, and requires several separate client installations in addition to connecting the Dualpix HD720p to a USB port. The webcam comes with its own software, but it also works with AIM, Skype, Yahoo Messenger, Google Gmail Voice and Video Chat, and Windows Live Messenger for online video chats. The Dualpix HD720p also requires Apple QuickTime 7 or greater. To use the Dualpix HD720p, you'll need a Windows XP, Vista, or 7 PC with a 1.5GHz single-core Pentium IV processor, 512MB RAM, 300MB of free hard disk space, and a free USB 2.0 port. It's a little fiddly, but the result is very secure I had no problem picking up an 18.4-inch Toshiba Qosmio X505-Q850 gaming laptop and moving it around the house with the Dualpix HD720p attached. When mounted to the side, you can rotate the camera to look straight at you. The whole contraption lets you mount the cam on the top or side of a laptop lid, and then twist it so that the cam itself doesn't block part of the laptop display. The mount consists of a thumbscrew and rubber nub that moves on a single axis, plus two joints that rotate 90 degrees. The three-foot USB cable is permanently attached and too short for desktop use. Make no mistake: this is a laptop-only webcam. The Dualpix HD720p is made of black glossy plastic. Unfortunately, several software snafus and so-so video quality detract from this budget-priced webcam's overall appeal.Дesign, Installation, and Software Bundle
