Webcam question I just bought my eee 900a from BestBuy and I noticed that when I click on the webcam option, it just ignores me. Also, I see where the little web cam thingy would go above the screen, but instead there's like a piece of plastic over the rectangle. Did I just pick up one that doesn't have a webcam (even thought the box picture has one) or do I have a defect?

Thanx, but it doesn't matter anymore because maybe a week after I posted that, my eee just died. I called the help line and that didn't help at all, BestBuy didn't know what to do, so I just got a refund and now my baby is but a distant memory. But thank you anyway :)

Hello, I just bought the same exact eee pc that your referring to from best buy and mine has the little plastic piece over the webcam and I have not been able to get it to work. I dont think our model has the webcam. They should say that more clearly on the box because it totally appears as though it comes with the webcam. Hope this helped.

I agree with Steven. The camera is fine. Jason apparently has not set it up correctly. The CD that came with my camera installs, but nothing happens when I run it. However, it is not necessary for installation if you know your way around networks. Also, the zip file mentioned by others is corrupt.

I don't know, James, because we sent the camera back! Something that only records for 10 seconds when it activates was not what we needed. We got a netcam instead! Goggling the camera model doesn't turn up anything?

All I did was just plugged it in and it found drivers and software itself. If it doesn't here is Logitech's website for the product: http://www.logitech.com/en-us/support/b910-hd-webcam. My came in a plastic casing with instructions, but I bought mine at Best Buy not amazon.

Sir, I have access only to the Webcam c905 and the Webcam Pro 9000 and I can tell you that the Pro 9000 only sits or perches on a monitor. It uses balance and if you are meaning to simply set the camara up and leave it be then the Pro 9000 is not a bad choice. If you are instead going to use this camara for travel or install it somewhere that it may be bumped it is likely that it will fall off. Not horrible, since it can simply just be set back in place, but could be annoying.

Hi Yuri - Did Amazon ever reply to your query on shipping you a different/older model than advertised? I want to purchase the portable webcam C905 as advertised, but it would suck if they're still sending out the older product - in which case I'll look into the logitech webcam pro 9000.Can anyone confirm whether or not Amazon has started to ship the NEW C905 versus the old version? Thanks!

I honestly cannot tell you my man because I tested it to check the quality of the camera first then I plugged it into the computer and it didn't want to be recognized by the computer. I had to do a little tweaking here and there and finally it was recognized and I gotta Tell you that once I saw the quality of the pictures and the video, I was so disappointed and didn't even bother using it anymore. Sorry brother

I have my mother using the webcam on her Dell, using AIM. I go through Ichat. It worked for a while, but I had to invite her to videochat. Picture quality was poor. She could never invite me. Now, it doesnt work at all, and am wondering if it is just my mother who isnt very tech savvy, or if it is the stinkin cam.

You should have received a CD with the webcam that has software called "Live! Central". Install that if you haven't already. You can check out the what the video looks like with that software. In other words, what others will see/what you will look like to others. It also has some other features which allow you to manipulate the video in different ways. I'm a bit unclear on exactly what you're asking. So, if this doesn't answer your question let me know.

S. Albert - I was thinking the same thing - taking the laptop and Minoru webcam out and capturing something interesting (more interesting than my face). But when going through the reviews, a few people have said that the picture gets overexposed easily and it works much better indoors. That's the only reason I'm hesitating to buy this thing. Hopefully they'll get it fixed soon -- someone mentioned that it was possibly just a software fix.

I am sorry but my grandson helped me pick out this webcam when he was here visiting. Like you I don't know the difference either. I am sorry I could not help.

Do these cam's zoom in and out? Does the inferred work on total darkness? can you see all cams at once either on your computer or your phone? And most importantly are they wireless? During the day does it show color? And at night its black & white of course right? Can anyone help me here, if this does not have everything i just described, ive gotten ones before and returned them because of there not this! and its a must i have all of this.

I just had the cam on the base and connected the usb cable to my laptop. I think there's a setting in the camera that I had to select but it came up after it picked up the connection.

The webcam works great, small lens in the center above the screen in the opening with the silver background. Enable through the start menu of your OS.

When you open your laptop up, specifically the bottom. Look at the one memory card you have in there and it should say what type it is and then match that one. Are both of your channels filled or do you just have one filled?
